Prescribed by GSA FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

Previous edition unusable

Except as provided herein, all terms and conditions of the document referenced in Item 9 A or 10A, as heretofore changed, remains unchanged and in full force and effect .

Solicitation 12639521Q0204 Amendment 0001 continuation page The purpose of this amendment is to change the description of Line Item 0001, incorporate the Government Property Clause, and answer questions submitted by a respondent to the Solicitation.

A. Change the description of Line Item 0001 from Fabricated Die-Casted Capsule Holder to read M44 Capsule Holders.

B. The USDA owns a die for casting these parts which will be provided to the awardee as government property if the awardee requires it. The FAR Clause at 52.245-1 Government Property. (Jan 2017) is hereby incorporated into the solicitation.

C. The following questions and answers are hereby incorporated into the solicitation:

Question: In reference to the fabricated die capsule Holder, is the part one piece or two?

Answer: The part is one piece.

Question: Also, is it allowed to engrave the text US Gov. instead of being raised?

Answer: The USDA owns a die for casting these parts. The current die produces the raised text. It should be raised because sometimes we have to grind it off when we sell to international customers and we would not want to make the holder thinner by grinding out engraved text.

Question: And with the dimensional tolerance of +/- .001 does that apply to all dimensions?

Answer: I believe so, but we are planning for the manufacturer to use the existing die.

Question: In reference to the Die Cast Capsule Holder. It is permissible to machine the part from solid #3 Zinc instead of Diecast?

Answer: It is permissible to machine the part from solid zinc.

Question: Do you have a picture of the original? The drawing is showing this as two parts. Is the outer part a different material? If you have a picture of the device this will help us a lot.

Answer: Pictures are attached to this amendment. See these references for further information:

D. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
