Q519--POLICE PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS (VA-26-00048153)-VISN2S

Amendment / Modification

This amendment (0001) corrects an error in the original solicitation (36C24226Q0466).

Specifically, it revises the language in Section E.6, clause 52.212-2 (EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES), Factor 1: Technical - Experience. The correction changes the reference from a general "police psychological evaluations" to a more specific requirement for "police psychological evaluations."

• Section E.6, clause 52.212-2, Factor 1: Technical - Experience

All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. This amendment does not appear to alter submission deadlines or overall evaluation factors beyond the clarified technical experience requirement.
