Text version

Question: Section 13a. on Page 1 of SF 1442 specifies an original and one copy of the offer are to be submitted by due date. Section L.4 (Proposal Submission #3) on Page 35 of the Solicitation specifies that “Offerors shall submit their proposal electronically via email.” Please confirm that both modes of submission are required.

Answer: Only the electronic submission is required. An original bid bond does need to be sent to the following:

Josh Dobereiner

USDA/ARS/EBSC

1815 N. University Street Peoria, IL 61604

A copy of the bid bond shall also be included in the electronic submission.

Question: Will the USDA follow Federal Congressional guidelines and require that ONLY

Center for Veterans Enterprise (CVE) Verified companies are eligible for this Solicitation? If yes, should CVE Certificates accompany Proposals? Will the Government revise the SOW to reflect this Federal Requirement?

Answer: Yes, since this is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside, only CVE verified companies are eligible for award. CVE certificates are not required as USDA will confirm CVE certification at time of award. The SOW does not need to be revised; this is posted as a SDVOSB set-aside.

Question: Will a Variable Speed Screw chiller be considered to meet the specifications?

Answer: No.

Question: Can a copy of the site visit sign in sheet be provided?

Answer: Added as an attachment.

Question: Can pictures of the work area be provided?

Answer: Yes. Several photos have been added as an attachment.
