• Project Experience Relevance: Projects/experience submitted in Sections E and F of the SF330 must have been completed within the last 6 years to be considered relevant.
• Procurement Process: The SF330 submission is the first step in a longer A&E selection process. Following SF330 ranking, discussions will occur with the top three firms, after which a seed project/solicitation will be issued.
• Joint Venture Past Performance: When evaluating a joint venture offer, if the JV itself lacks demonstrated past performance, the past performance of each individual party to the JV must be considered.
• SF330 Submission: A hard copy of the SF330 is not required. Amendment 1 deleted the sentence requiring electronic submissions to match a hard copy package.
• 150-Mile Preference: The 150-mile preference is measured from Hurlburt Field, FL, to the company address.

It confirms that the overall contract ceiling and POP remain unchanged, but individual task orders will have negotiated performance periods.
