PURPOSE The purpose of Amendment 0004 is to provide prospective offerors with clarifications and incorporate corrected and revised solicitation documents for Off-Site Laundry Services under Solicitation No. 6923G226Q000026. CORRECTED SOLICITATION The revised solicitation is incorporated and supersedes the version issued with Amendment 0002 to the extent of the revisions identified in this amendment. Amendment 0003 remains in effect. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The schedule and all affected solicitation references are revised as follows: Base Period (CLIN 00001): November 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 - 8 months. Option Period 1 (CLIN 00002): July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028 - 12 months. Option Period 2 (CLIN 00003): July 1, 2028 through June 30, 2029 - 12 months. Option Period 3 (CLIN 00004): July 1, 2029 through June 30, 2030 - 12 months. REVISED VENDOR PRICE SHEET Attachment 4, Revised Vendor Price Sheet, is incorporated and reflects firm-fixed monthly pricing. CLIN 00001 is Quantity 8, Unit MONTH. CLINs 00002 through 00004 are each Quantity 12, Unit MONTH. The Extended Amount cells for CLINs 00001 through 00003 are blocked out to clarify that offerors are not required to enter amounts in those fields. A reference to FAR 52.217-8 is included in the Extended Amount heading for additional clarity. Offerors shall enter a firm-fixed monthly unit price for each CLIN and shall use the revised Attachment 4 when submitting their proposals. Attachment 4 is the sole Vendor Price Sheet applicable to this solicitation. EVALUATION METHOD - TECHNICAL APPROACH The reference to �ordering and installing equipment� is deleted from the Evaluation Method. Offerors shall address their technical approach and experience in performing the off-site commercial laundry services described in the solicitation and Performance Work Statement. FACTOR III - PRICE This is a Firm-Fixed-Price requirement. Each offeror must submit a completed Attachment 4, Revised Vendor Price Sheet. The Contract Price Subtotal is the sum of the base period, CLIN 00001, and all option periods, CLINs 00002 through 00004. For evaluation purposes only, the Government will add an amount equal to six months at the monthly unit price proposed for the final option period, CLIN 00004, pursuant to FAR 52.217-8. The Total Evaluated Price is the Contract Price Subtotal for CLINs 00001 through 00004 plus the FAR 52.217-8 evaluation-only amount. The FAR 52.217-8 evaluation-only amount does not obligate the Government to exercise an extension of services. Prices will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness, including whether pricing is unbalanced among the base and option periods. OPTION PROVISION AND CLAUSES The following provision and clauses are incorporated into the solicitation: FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options; FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services; and FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract. The 44-month limitation under FAR 52.217-9 does not include a separate extension of services exercised under FAR 52.217-8. If the Government exercises the full six-month extension available under FAR 52.217-8, the maximum potential period of performance will be 50 months.
