It also replaces the prior pricing sheet and locations spreadsheet; contractors must align priced scopes, selected locations, and technical approach documentation. Existing awardees need resubmit only for newly selected scopes. The BPA remains open continuously through February 28, 2033, with no offer-submission extension.

See LMIR-QandA1-26.pdf.
