Computer Based Instructional Development III (CBID III)

SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 0005 - 19 JAN 2023

On 13 January 2023 the Government published Amendment 0004 to Solicitation W900KK-23-R-0005 for the Computer Based Instructional Development III procurement.  The purpose was to post Government responses to questions, comments and recommendations submitted by Industry.  Several proposal submission instructions were modified to reduce workload associated with proposal preparation.  Unfortunately some of those changes conflict with other instructions.  There is a need to make corrections.  Time will not permit revisions right now since the contract writing tool used to create the solicitation will soon be out of service for maintenance.  As an interim fix, this Amendment 0005 updates Section L at paragraph L.1.3 by removing the requirement to submit the Past Performance – Volume II separately on 23 January 2023.  All four volumes of the proposal are now due on 13 February 2023.  All other items listed in the solicitation remain unchanged.
