Questions 01 to 05:

01. For all FAR clauses referenced, please include the alternate for non-profit organizations in addition to the small business concerns. Answer: The requirement for small business set-aside has been dissolved. Thus, all capable and responsible entities may compete for the award. The clauses restricting for small businesses only have been revised: FAR 52.212-5

(b)(12) 52.219-4, Notice of Price Evaluation

Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns

02. According to the Performance-based Work

Statement (PWS): ¿The awarded laboratory will measure ratios of carbon isotopes (14C, 13C, 12C) in the targets by accelerator mass spectrometry

(AMS).¿ We don't provide d13C on graphite samples. Can it be confirmed that measurement of d13C is not a requirement? Answer: Measurement of carbon 13 is not required if the awarded facility can measure the 14C/12C ratio.
