Update - 16 June 2025
The Government has received various emails indicating conflicting dates between SAM/PIEE, Amendment 0002 that was issued on 6 June 2025, and the SF1442. 26 June 2025 at 1200 Pacific Time is the correct deadline for submission of bids to the PIEE Solicitation module. SAM and PIEE have both been updated to reflect this.

With respect to the solicitation documents (basic solicitation and amendments), the U.S. Army has adopted a new contract writing system that is causing errors in the solicitation documents. We are reviewing the documents and the contract writing system and anticipate providing corrected documents by COB 16 June 2025.

Please note that the PIEE Solicitation module will stop accepting bid documents promptly at the time indicated on SAM/PIEE.

Update - 16 June 2025
Amendment 0003 was issued and accomplishes the following:

1. Extends the bid submission deadline until 12:00pm on 26 June 2025. This fixes Amendment 0002 and corrects the solicitation documents; SAM/PIEE were updated earlier. Note: The amendment's effective date was incorrectly input. The correct effective date was 12 June 2025.
2. Corrects the round number for Requests for Information (RFI).
3. Closes the pre-bid RFI period effective 12:00pm on 16 June 2025. No further RFIs will be accepted and the Government is actively working to respond to pending questions.

Note: The Standard Form 30 (SF30) for each amendment has been provided as well as the conformed solicitation through Amendment 0003. The PIEE link in the "Attachments/Links" section below will take you to the PIEE repository with these documents.

The Government's response to RFI #45 is: "No detail will be provided. Fencing will be addressed as part of the post-award submittal process."
