The following questions were asked by interested vendors. The responses to these questions are being posted for clarification purposes.

1) Question from interested vendor: Please clarify how this should be priced. There are several lines on your spreadsheet and only 2 lines items listed on the solicitation (page 3) in order to input price.

Line Item 0002 will reflect the pricing from the Pricing

Schedule for each respective ordering period if and when the Government exercises its right to order up to an additional quantity of 8 units up to 3 years from the date of award.

2) Question from interested vendor: On CLIN 0001 it shows a quantity of 10. How do we price First Article units for a quantity of 2 and the remaining 8 units? It doesn’t reference a separate line item.

0001 (the base requirement for a quantity of 10) shall be entered on the provided Pricing Schedule document.

3) Question from interested vendor: Please advise us on the requirements on the First Article units? Is there a specification that they need to be in accordance with?

Government's response: The awardee shall perform form/fit checks.
