1. Question: Instructions to Offerors provided in Section L, FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (SEP 2023), (b) (1-11) is not included in either Volume I – Price/Cost or Volume II – Past Performance. Where do we provide the information requested in FAR 52.212-1 (b) (1-11)?

Answer: The information requested in FAR 52.212-1 can be included in either a cover sheet or the email at time of submission.

2. Question: Section 52.212-1 Addendum (b) (1)(i) states, “(i) Price/Cost quote must generally adhere to the pricing structure established in Section B, Schedule of Prices.”

However, there is no pricing structure in Section B. Please clarify what pricing structure we must adhere to.

Answer: No such marking is needed for quotes submitted via email.

4. Question: 52.212-1 Addendum, Quotation preparation (b)(2)(i) states, “The quoter may provide up to three past performance questionnaires, Attachment III.” Please clarify if this is in fact Attachment IV Past Performance Information Form as Attachment III Questionnaire will be submitted by our customers.

Answer: Three past performance questionnaires are a combination between Attachment III, Past Performance Questionnaires and Attachment VI, Past Performance Information. Your customers will submit the questionnaires directly to NOAA. However, if Attachment VI, Past Performance Information is submitted with the quote, then NOAA will send the point of contact listed on the form the questionnaire and wait a response. The preferred method is to have your customers submit the questionnaires.

7. Question: FAR 52.252-1 Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference. (FEB 1998) states, “The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer.” Please clarify where we are to include “the listed provisions” as they are not included in either volume breakdown.

Answer: All travel expenses, including time to travel (labor), will be handled at the delivery order level and should not be included with your pricing.

10. Question: The statement of work references items that are not on the provided dive team supplies price list. Is it the government’s intention to establish ceiling prices for all items to be provided or procured under this contract? How will the government address the purchase of emergent items needed, but not listed on the pricing sheet, such as replacement parts and consumables for the diver support facility small boat (SOW Section F.i.)? Should items listed in the Statement of Work that are not contained in Attachment II be added to Attachment II?

Answer: The contract itself will have a ceiling, not the individual items.
