To ensure you receive timely notifications of all amendments and updates to this posting, we strongly encourage all interested parties to use the "Follow" feature within SAM.gov. To do so: Log in to your SAM.gov account. Navigate to this notice page. In the upper-right corner of the page, click the "..." (three dots) button. From the dropdown menu, select "Follow". Why this is important: Notification: Once you follow this notice, SAM.gov will automatically send an email to your account whenever it is amended or updated. Correct Links: Each update to a SAM.gov posting generates a new, unique web link. Bookmarking a page or using an old link will take you to an outdated version. The email notification you receive from following the notice will always contain a direct link to the latest version. Verification: The upper right corner of a posting shows a "Version" box, however it always displays "Current Record" regardless of what version you are viewing. You must manually check the version dates using the dropdown and select the latest. Following a posting and using the emailed link ensures you are viewing the latest version and avoids having to manually verify. Please reach out to the POC's below if you have any questions.
