Solicitation Questions & Answers Amendment 003

Q1. I am writing in regards to solicitation 1332KP20BNEEN0005. Can you please clarify for us your preferred method for requesting changes to the anticipated award terms found within the solicitation? As with our previous offers and awards under this program, we again expect to need further conversation regarding terms appropriate for an institution of higher education prior to award.

A1. The information on your terms can be placed under "Other Documentation" as described at the end of Section L.12. This is at offeror discretion.

Q2. In the instance where further conversation regarding the terms is requested, does the expectation remain that we are to provide the signed Standard Form 33? I have had experiences with other federal sponsors where such a signature was understood to indicate that all proposed terms where acceptable, and I want to be sure that we aren’t communicating in this instance.

A2. Please reference Section L.12, Other Documentation, regarding the requirement for the SF33. The SF33 is the vendor’s offer to the Government. If there are any exceptions or deviations in your proposal, it would be understood that your signed offer includes those exceptions or deviations.

Q3. I am a bit confused on what is needed for the SF33B and the SF30 amendment. I am not the familiar with these documents and did not see a sample of how these need to be completed anywhere on the site.

These documents also are not editable when I download them from the site.

A3. The SF33 section titled, “Offer (must be fully completed by offeror)” must be completed and signed as described in the solicitation Section L.12. Block 14 of this form (i.e. “Acknowledgement of Amendments”) may be used in lieu of signing and returning each SF30 amendment as a separate document.

A4. I am also a bit confused about what is needed for the price worksheet. When I read the RFP and the FAQ’s is says we need to submit Attachment 3 pricing matrix. Then it goes on to say we need to provide pricing data for use under potential future time-and-materials and labor-hour task orders.

A4. Please reference Section L in its entirely, as well as the answers to questions provided through amendments 001 and 002. At this late date, we are unable to provide any supplemental instructions. Please note that the deadline for inquiries on this solicitation was August 14, 2020.
