SUBMITTED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (Vendors - all questions asked shall be submitted via email)

1. Regarding the verbiage for the $250,000 project amount listed on page 30 of the solicitation, section 52.216-19 Order Limitations:

During the phone conference call I made a note that said a task order could be issued directly if under $250,000.

When I read the information provided in that section of the solicitation I am unclear if what I wrote down is accurate.

Can you clarify if a task order could be issued directly if it is under $250,000? And if that is the case how is the per acre price determined?

Answer: That clause is not stating that a task order could be issued directly. The clause is stating the ordering limitations.
