Summary
This text is an Amendment to a Statement of Work (SOW) related to the SAVES HWSW QA solicitation. The amendment addresses multiple inquiries and clarifications from vendors regarding the requirements and evaluation criteria outlined in the original solicitation.
Key changes include the removal of unprotected hidden tabs in Attachments 2A, 2B, and 6, as well as updates to the OEM authorization requirements. Specifically, F5 Networks remains on the mandatory list despite concerns about limited competition due to their lack of new authorizations since August 2025. The FAA has determined that sufficient small businesses with active F5 OEM authorizations exist to maintain competition.
Additionally, the amendment clarifies that all offerors must submit new proposals incorporating changes from previous amendments, including a new Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). It emphasizes that while previous documentation can be resubmitted, it must comply with current requirements.
The amendment also specifies that all required Tier 1 OEMs must be authorized for small businesses and confirms that Xerox has been removed from the Tier 1A list. Furthermore, it outlines how minimum discount percentages will be evaluated and maintained over a ten-year contract period, addressing concerns about managing compliance across numerous OEMs.
This amendment serves to refine the solicitation process and ensure clarity for potential offerors while maintaining competitive standards.
