Branded Furniture

Amendment / Modification

This amendment corrects discrepancies in the SLIN (Subline Item Number) numbers between the A4 Pricing Quote Template spreadsheet and the A5 PWS (Performance Work Statement) document. Previously, the PWS used SLINs AA-AS, while the quote template used SLINs AA-AV. This amendment updates the PWS to include SLINs AT-AV, aligning them with the quote template. These updated SLINs are now reflected in Section 2.3 Miscellaneous of the PWS.

• PWS Section 2.3 Miscellaneous
• A4 Pricing Quote Template spreadsheet (implicitly, by correcting discrepancies)

This amendment does not appear to modify proposal deadlines, requirements, or evaluation factors. It primarily addresses an internal numbering discrepancy to ensure consistency between project documentation.
