Vendor Questions Government Response
Our company is larger than the $11M NAICS 561990 size standard. Though no products will be proposed under the initial submission, historical knowledge/extended warranty under this effort will require the awardee to replace equipment that fails. We are not a manufacturer of any products/equipment. Would this allow eligibility to provide a proposal response for this solicitation under the 500 employee’s size standard stated above?
The NAICS Code for this requirement will be changed to 561621 Security System Services
Section 3 number 38. 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items (Jan 2017) (a) This section references “The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449)” – can the Government provide SF1449 in order to be compliant with the required of the NAICS code and size standard?

| Under part I the past performance states “Past performance shall provide adequate information describing the firm’s or proposed key personnel’s previous experience within the past three years” whereas the basis of award states “maximum of five in the past five years”, can the Government please state whether the past performance should be based on 5 or 3 years? |
| 3 years past performance is sufficient |
| Under Price within the Basis for Award, the document states all prices shall be for the government site. Since there will be troubleshooting remote data connections between USDA sites, can we assume that there will be contractor site pricing as well? |
