Representations and certifications from the contractor regarding size status or socioeconomic programs are not provided, and the NAICS code 334511 is listed without affirmative small business claims. No evaluation factors, source selection methodology, or award rationale are included, and while FAR 43.103(b) and 43.203(b) govern the modification, no standard FAR clauses are explicitly enumerated.
