Key changes include:

• Addressing vendor questions, as detailed in attachment #1.

• The primary change is the inclusion of vendor question responses via attachment #1.

Entities are not required to update their SAM registration to remove these specific representations.

• All other requirements of the original solicitation remain unchanged. No explicit changes to proposal deadlines or evaluation factors are mentioned beyond the inclusion of the Q&A.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding Solicitation - 140D0426Q0334, specifically addressing clarifications related to appraisal terminology within the "Instructions to Offerors" and "Technical Qualification for Requirement" sections.

• Question 1: Clarifies that the "Instructions to Offerors" statement regarding the appraisal report guiding the National Park Service in establishing "fair market value rent" should be interpreted as "fair market value" given the context of a fee simple appraisal assignment, not a leasehold interest.
• Question 2: Confirms that the "Technical Qualification for Requirement" section, which states the applicant must evaluate "fair market rent" for vacant desert property, should also be read as "fair market value" to align with the fee simple interest described in the SOW.

Both questions received a "YES" response, indicating that the government acknowledges the potential for confusion and confirms that the intended meaning relates to "fair market value" in both instances, ensuring consistency with the SOW's description of a fee simple interest.
