The amendment mandates that all acknowledgments of amendments be entered into the chart on page 8 and signed by the authorized representative on page one of each amendment, to be included in Volume IV. Furthermore, all provisions requiring proposer certification must be completed and submitted as part of Volume IV, along with any other representations and certifications from SAM.gov. No further questions or clarifications will be addressed, except for potential RFP extensions, which would be communicated via another amendment. This ensures the integrity and efficiency of the procurement process.
