- PBDE 47 (insoluble)

- COtinine

- 4-Nonylphenol diethoxylate (tech mix)

- 4-Nonylphenol monoethoxylate (tech mix)

- LS 4434 - We cannot offer these mixtures due to most compounds not being offered and the remainder being too low in concentration to support.

- LS 4437 - We cannot offer these mixtures due to the low concentrations required for most compounds.

- LS 4440 - We cannot offer these mixtures due to the low concentrations required for most compounds.

- LC 9045 (neonics) - We cannot offer this mixture due to the low concentration required.

Please let us know if we should proceed with the quotation for LS 2033, LS 2447 (mixes 1 and 2), and LS 4433 (available compounds).

Government Response: Please proceed with the quotation for LS 2033, LS 2447 (mixes 1 and 2), and LS 4433 (available compounds).

Question 2: My supplier identified components in

Mix 1 that they are unable to offer. These are:

Cis-Propiconazole - 112721-87-6

Trans-Propiconazole - 120523-07-1

However, my supplier is able to provide

Propiconazole - 60207-90-1, which is a mixture of the 2 stereo isomers. Would this be acceptable?

If so, we will need to know at what concentration.

Government Response:

Please omit

Cis-Propiconazole - 112721-87-6

Trans-Propiconazole - 120523-07-1 and

No, please do not provide any Propiconazole

Question 4: The delivery time noted in the bid packet is 4 - 12 weeks. Given raw material shortages and supply chain issues, there is the possibility that lead times will be extended.

Will it be acceptable to provide an updated lead time in writing once known?

Government Response: Need to coordinate so materials are delivered in March

Question 5: The prices quoted for this bid may be subject to change due to sudden and unforeseen raw material price changes. We will provide notice of a material price change. Is this acceptable?

Government Response: It would be less problematic to know what you can do and for how much on the front end. Extenuating circumstances can happen and we can work through them.

Question 6: Will the same mixes be ordered in both ordering periods? (This will help us to determine how much raw material needs to be secured to complete these orders.)

Government Response: Yes, if the product is testing appropriately we will reorder the following year

Question 7: Is there a technical liaison that can provide some insight into whether these mixes are identical to the ones under the current award?

Government Response: Yes, the USGS Technical

Liaison contact information will be included in the BPA award and all BPA Call orders.

Question 8: We would like to request an extension to submit this bid. Our requested date is

10/14/22.

Government Response: Your request is acceptable for extending the due date through 10/14/22 by

5:00 PM (ET).

The proposed substitution will not work.
