HT942626RE0230001 Page 1 of 14 Amendment 0001: 1. Administrative Change: Remove FAR provision 52.219-1 from instructions to offerors - Not Applicable 2. Question and Answer: Contractor Question: Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past. Government Response: This is a new requirement. This requirement is associated with historical contract FA527022D0004 (IDIQ) F2H4A14184A001(Task Order). The outcome of the task order found that external proficiency testing for arthropods required additional procedures to ensure safety and eliminate the sue of live culture pathogens to spike proficiency tests. Thus, the new requirement to develop procedures to produce external proficiency testing that do not use infectious materials.
