Standard Form (SF) Con nued

Please remove the following pages from the conformed Solicita on RFP 140L0125R0001 and replace them with the corresponding pages from RFP 140L0125R0001 Amendment No. 0003 as follows:

Ques on 01: On Page 98 we are required to submit geospa al date for the Site Design on our Property. We believe it is next to impossible for the map to include all the informa on you have asked for on ONE map. Is it acceptable to submit several maps so that they can be read?

Answer: Yes, it is acceptable for the offeror to submit more than one map to detail items (b-g) requested in Subfactor 3b-2Site Design. Refer to RFP Sec on L page 97-98. It also acceptable for the offeror to submit more than one landownership map to depict items (a-e) requested in Subfactor 3d-1: Land Status. Refer to RFP Sec on L page 99.

Ques on 02: Land Status-Page 93, #3 it states that "proof shall be provided to Offeror by leasing en ty, signed within 3 months of the RFP closing date. #2 also requires a copy of the lease. Our current contract has a lease that was with a previous owner of the acreage in ques on. It was assumed by the current owner of the land when he purchased it However, he has not redone the lease to reflect his name. Does the offeror need to provide a lease agreement(s) to document control of lands not owned by the offeror?

Answer: Yes, offerors must provide documenta on of control or ownership of the land for the contract period of performance. Factor 1: Facility-Land (2 & 3) specify the documenta on offerors shall provide to show control of lands not owned by the offeror.

Ques on 03: Does an Offer have to be registered and ACTIVE in SAM.gov to be eligible for an award?

Answer: Yes, refer to RFP Sec on K clause 52.204-7.

Ques on 04: Does an offeror have to qualify as a small business to apply for this contract?

Answer: Any vendor may submit a proposal; however, in accordance with Standard Form (SF) 1449, block 10, this solicita on is set aside 100% for small businesses. As such, BLM may only award contracts to small businesses.

Ques on 05: Can a business be divided into "loca ons" or "branches" to financially qualify as a small business, even if that is not how they are represented on repor ng taxes? For example, if a business is split up into branches via an accountant/bookkeeper, can those records be u lized for the branch of the business instead of repor ng the business as a whole (as the horses will only reside at the one loca on)?

Answer: Vendors determine how to establish and organize their individual businesses. BLM does not provide recommenda ons or guidance on how to set up an offeror's business. BLM checks SAM.gov to determine an offeror's socio-economic type and business size in rela on to NAICS 115210 and the $11,000,000 size standard.

For addi onal informa on, please refer to eCFR :: 13 CFR Part 121 -- Small Business Size Regula ons.

Ques on 06: Can I submit addi onal ques ons? Would you consider extending the contract applica on deadline another 30 days?

Answer: No addi onal ques ons to be considered a er amendment No. 0003 post. No. Unfortunately, we are unable to extend the proposal due date past Monday 1/27/25 at 6:00 am MST.
