A. Incorporate the following FAR Clause 52.225-1, Buy American-Supplies (JAN2021)

B. The following questions have been submitted and answered here:

Question 1: During the site visit yesterday it was identified by the local USDA staff and by physical observation that there are only 2 units in the Knock Down Area vs the 3 that are listed in the RFP. Block 20 of SF 1449 also identifies a total of 25 Ionization Units.

To account for the difference, do you want us to reduce the quantity for the Knock Down

Area to 2, and the total quantity to be delivered in block 20 to 24?

Answer 1: Each ionization unit is good for up to

12 tons. The AC in the knock down room is a

25-ton unit, therefore three (3) ionization units are required to accommodate the 25-ton HVAC unit to maximize the efficiency.

Question 2: In 2.0 Submission Requirements, line-item b, you request that we fill in block 26 of SF 1449 with the grand total, but on the form this line is listed "For Govt Use Only", is this a typo or should we enter the grand total in block 26?

Answer 2: Fill in Block 26 of the SF1449 with the grand total of your quote. The Govt contract writing system will complete Block 26 with the award amount in the award document.

Question 3. Given the short duration of this project, is the USDA going to perform background checks for staff working on the project?

Answer 3: Any and all personnel working will need to have a valid Identification to enter the Base.

The prime contractor is responsible for their staff employees or any subcontractors.

C. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
