Amendment 01 to Solicitation FA460826QS012 addresses the HQ AFGSC B-2 Static Display Aircraft Restoration project, updating the Statement of Work (SOW) and providing government responses to offeror questions. Key SOW changes include a revised five-year workmanship warranty for labor covering repair, refurbishment, and repainting, specifically detailing covered defects and exclusions. The amendment clarifies that restoration can be performed off-site, and the government will assist with site access and coordination with the prime contractor.

The government will provide access to water and electricity for on-base work, with staging space for storage containers, but no other on-site facilities beyond an outside water source and receptacle. Payments will be made as a single invoice upon final completion of the entire project (ALL or NONE basis), as partial payments are not authorized.
