NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLARIFICATION *** ADMINISTRATIVE NOTICE: NOT AN AMENDMENT *** Solicitation #: 75R60226R00026-A1 Title: Evidence Reviews of Newborn Screening Genetic Conditions The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) is issuing this administrative clarification to all prospective offerors regarding Volume II: Past Performance Proposal Instructions.
The Government wishes to remind all potential bidders of the flexible mechanisms built into Volume II: Alternative Reference Types: Per Page 5 of Attachment 2, offerors (specifically small businesses) who have not held relevant Federal prime contracts are explicitly permitted to submit past performance references from state/local governments, private sector clients, or Federal projects utilizing subcontractors.
The Neutral Rating Safety Net: Per Pages 8 and 9 of Attachment 2, offerors without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information is not available, shall receive an "Unknown Confidence (Neutral)" rating.
The Government will neither penalize nor reward the offeror for this rating, and the proposal will be evaluated strictly on Technical Merit and Price.
A lack of traditional federal prime contractor references does not render a proposal non-responsive, incomplete, or ineligible for award.
The final proposal submission deadline remains unchanged: Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT.
This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an amendment to the solicitation. ************************************************************************************************************************************** AMENDMENT 0001: The purpose of this amendment is to formally publish industry Q&A, update technical layout page exemptions,...
Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
