Smithsonian-wide real estate services provider

******************************** EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 18, 2009, THE DEADLINE FOR THE RFP IS EXTENDED. PLEASE SEE MESSAGE BELOW. This message is sent in regards to the Smithsonian Institution’s RFP for real estate services. Because interested Offerors submitted almost 80 questions for the RFP, the Smithsonian needs more time to fully answer all of the questions. In order to give all Offerors a chance to fully digest all of the answers, we are therefore going to be extending the proposal due date. Amendment No. 1, which will contain the questions and answers to the RFP will be issued by the end of the month, and as of now, the deadline for submission of proposals for RFP F09SOL00066, will be the date that is exactly one week from the date of issuance of Amendment No. 1. We apologize for the delay, but thank you for your patience. ***********************************
