FROM: The Offeror shall summarize all significant pricing assumptions, scope limitations, and/or qualifications of the price proposal. As stated above the Offeror shall propose in USDs. For evaluation purposes only, the Offeror shall disclose (1) the TL/USD and Euro/USD currency exchange rates used to develop the Offeror's USD proposed price and (2) the Offeror's basis for using the subject exchange rates in developing their USD proposed price. The Offeror's proposed exchange rates shall be held constant over the period of performance (i.e., if the TL/USD is 0.1624 in Year 1, it should not change in years 2, 3, 4, etc.). The Government will consider unrealistic currency exchange rates as reflecting on the Offeror's understanding (1) of the Government's requirements and (2) of the risks associated with contract performance.

TO: The Offeror shall summarize all significant pricing assumptions, scope limitations, and/or qualifications of the price proposal. As stated above the Offeror shall propose in USDs. For evaluation purposes only, the Offeror shall utilize the following exchange rates from www.1.OANDA.com/ currency/converter to develop the Offeror's USD proposed price:

Turkish Lira: 0.16699

Euro: 1.10902

The exchange rates listed above were extracted from the website on 3 February 2020 at 1430 CET. The exchange rates shall be held constant over the period of performance (i.e., the TL/USD is 0.16699 in Year 1, it should not change in years 2, 3, 4, etc.). Noncompliance with the outlined application of currency exchange rates will result in the Offeror's proposal being considered nonresponsive.

c.) Paragraph M-2.C.6. is changed

FROM: The Government will also evaluate the offeror's TEP for realism. The Government will assess how well the TEP realistically reflects the Offeror's understanding of the solicitation requirements as well as a consistency with the approach proposed by the Offeror in Volume II, Technical. An Offeror's business decision to submit a low-priced proposal will be considered as reflecting on their understanding of technical requirements or the risk associated with their proposal. For evaluation purposes only, the Government will evaluate proposed currency exchange rate per Task Order (TL/USD for TO 001 and Euro/USD for TO 002) for the entire period of performance used to develop the Offeror's USD proposed price and the Offeror's basis for using the subject exchange rates. The Government will consider unrealistic currency exchange rates as reflecting on the Offeror's understanding of the Government's requirements and of the risks associated with contract performance.
