The Government is re opening Solicitation 12569R23Q7002 for an open season Onboarding period. Vendor quote

This amendment re opens the original solicitation to conduct Onboarding in accordance with Exhibit H – Special Contract

Requirements. Onboarding is not a new procurement action. It is conducted under the terms of the original solicitation and issued as an amendment to that solicitation. The original solicitation requires that award decisions during open season Onboarding use the same evaluation factors and sub factors as the original solicitation.

The open season Onboarding period will run concurrently with the USFS

Contracting Officer’s annual I BPA review—commonly referred to as the “Rollover” modification process. During this period, existing I BPA awardees may revise rates, modify resources, or add new resources, and new Offerors who meet all
