Q3. I am prepared to send a response to this

RFQ, however I am having trouble determining where to sign.

A3. Sign 30(a), (b) and (c) of the SF-1449 for your submission of the RFQ.

Q4. Can you confirm if this is a services or supplies contract? It denotes services, but seems like it would be for supplies.

A4. The option to extend services clause is a required clause for all federal contracts that have option periods. It is primarily stating the government has the option to extend the services of the contract at the end of the period of performance for another term and a 60-day notice to the contractor will be given if this option is selected. This is applicable to services provided or supplies.

Q5. Please clarify the required quantity per year. The information posted only indicated

10/box. Does this mean you are requesting only 1 box per year?

A5. Based on the ceiling estimates provided by the program office for this contract, they are estimating $100k for the 5 year period so that averages to about up to $20,000 spending per year.

Period of Performance: 03/01/2021 to 02/28/2026
