4 If you are able to provide any information regarding what might need to be adjusted from our previous packet, that would be great.

7 Can you advise if our proposal was acceptable or is there something else that we would need to complete?
Please see Section L for proposal instructions and Section M for evaluation factors.
8 The solicitation states that the invoice needs to be submitted electronically. I should be able to get a copy of the invoice, but I can’t locate an account in the system.
The successful awardee will submit invoices through https://www.ipp.gov.
9 There is discussion about prepaying with a credit though, so we should be able to get you a proforma invoice and submit it to the portal.
See section I.2 LC52.216-1A Order Placement
– Alternative Ordering Procedures for
Purchase card orders.
10 Our business is distributed by another company though, so the name on our paperwork will be there’s and not ours. Can you advise if this will be an issue?
The Library will only conduct business with the business/organization that is awarded the contract that results from this solicitation. The
Library does not make payments to sub-contractors.
