    This amendment to solicitation 70Z08026QPBPL0008, for the DRYDOCK – USCGC SEAHORSE DD FY26 project, primarily addresses questions received from potential offerors. The main point of contention was the proposed project schedule, with an offeror identifying 18 days of negative float due to habitability work in the galley and access restrictions impacting exterior preservation. They requested an 18-day extension to the performance period. The government's answer accommodates this request by adding 18 days to the *beginning* of the schedule, but explicitly states that extending the period past the current end date is not possible due to other scheduled availabilities. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged. The document also includes standard forms for acknowledging receipt of the amendment and outlines procedures for modifying offers already submitted.
