Note: Prior to 1 Feb 26, the 30 day notice on a GPE was only applicable to “bundling” acquisitions. As of 1 Feb 26, the 30 day notice on a GPE applies to both Consolidation and Bundling.  SAM.gov only offered a notification type as “Notice of Bundling/Substantial Bundling”; therefore, I used “Special Notice” as notification type.
