This document constitutes Amendment 0001 for solicitation SP4705-24-Q-0223, intended to update contractor requirements for specific appliances, applicable to a U.S. Government Contract. The amendment extends the solicitation deadline to October 17, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, incorporates FAR 52.225-5 (Trade Agreements), and includes relevant questions and answers from prospective contractors regarding appliance specifications.
Key requirements specified include commercial-grade Keurig coffee makers, microwaves with detailed size specifications, and compact refrigerators of 4.3 cubic feet.
