Question 18:

FBO postings for this solicitation are extremely confusing. There are a number of files that are either incorrectly identified, incorrectly posted, or missing on fbo.gov for this solicitation.

Please review each identified Amendment, numbers 1 through 5 and confirm that each

Amendment is clearly identified with the required Standard Form 30 and that the documents identified in Block 14 of each Amendment are available with each Amendment.

For example, fbo.gov shows that Amendment 5 was posted on Aug 22, 2019. Amendment 5 posting includes a total of 4 documents. It includes an SF30 identified as Amendment 3 but no

SF30 identified as Amendment 5.

Amendment 3 posted on Aug 16, 2019 does not have a Standard Form 30 identifying the changed documents/information.

Block 14 of the various SF30 sheets contains identification of variouse documents/information, however, the documents are not posted with the Amendment.

J.2_Schedule_B_-_Schedule_of_supplies_or_services__REV-1.xls. There is no References and

Photos document. The fbo.gov posting for Amendment 2 does not include an SF30. It does include a Drawing References zip file. This file contains a document titled Standards for Lifting

Appliances on NOAA Ships.pdf. This document does not contain any information related to the actual weights that each lifting device is required to be tested to. We require information related to the test type, static/dynamic, and load that for each test type required.
