Amendment / Modification

This amendment (0002) to solicitation SP330026Q5007 provides answers to vendor questions and extends the quote submission deadline.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment 1 - Schedule of Supplies (Updated).xlsx", is a pricing sheet that details the supplies required for the DLA Distribution Wooden Shipping Containers opportunity. Bidders must complete the highlighted yellow boxes on the Executive Summary sheet, which will auto-populate from this schedule. Altering unauthorized data entry points will result in offer rejection.

• The document outlines CLINs (Contract Line Item Numbers) for various types of plywood or paper overlaid veneer boxes.
• It specifies the Material Number, Description (including PSC 8115), Amount, Unit of Issue (EA), Unit Price, and Total Amount for each CLIN.
• The schedule is broken down into a Base Period and four Ordering Periods (One through Four).
• For each period, the same three CLINs (0001/1001/2001/3001/4001, 0002/1002/2002/3002/4002, 0003/1003/2003/3003) are listed with identical amounts (1042, 1207, and 509 EA respectively).

This attachment is critical for bidders to understand the specific quantities of supplies required for each contract period. Bidders must use this schedule to input their pricing, ensuring they only complete the highlighted yellow fields on the Executive Summary sheet as instructed. The zero values for unit and total prices indicate that pricing information needs to be provided by the offeror.
