About this file
This document is a Solicitation Questions & Answers (Q&A) file for RFQ Notice ID 20151445, specifically for the OFO Sasabe Canopy Cover project. The Q&A addresses key technical and procedural details about a canopy cover procurement, including confirmation that the required canopy dimensions are 20' x 40', an acceptable engineered frame can be used, and the 18 oz PVC fabric requirement is mandatory. The solicitation is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) acquisition for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, set aside for small businesses in the Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332311).
The document clarifies several important aspects of the procurement, such as: no site survey documentation will be provided, contractors are responsible for their own site surveys post-award; Davis-Bacon Wage Rates do not apply; NIST SP 800-171 compliance is not required; and this is an open market solicitation using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Quotations were due by June 12, 2025, at 5:00 PM EDT, with a 30-calendar day pricing validity period, and must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer with a technical approach summary and three relevant past performance references.

SOLICITATION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS (Q&A)
RFQ Notice ID 20151445
OFO Sasabe Canopy Cover As of 06/13/2025
Q1: The written SOW specifies a 20' x 40' canopy, but the aerial image in the bid documents appears to depict a 40' x 50' area. Can you please confirm the exact required canopy dimensions?
A1: 20’ x 40’ are the correct required canopy dimensions. The red area in the aerial image provided within the SOW is an approximation of the footprint where the Government requires the canopy to be installed within (starting nearest the sidewalk and then extending towards the border).
Q2: The SOW references a “24” Bi-Beam Heavy Wall ASTM Zinc Tubular Steel” frame. Can you clarify if “bi-beam” refers to a specific structural configuration, or would an equivalent engineered frame that meets the stated wind and seismic requirements be acceptable?
A2: An equivalent engineered frame that meets the stated wind resistance and seismic requirements is acceptable.
Q3: Would the Government consider accepting a 12 oz, flame-retardant commercial shade fabric or a comparable commercial-grade shade fabric that meets all performance and flame-resistance standards? Or, is the 18 oz PVC requirement mandatory?
A3: There will be no change to the SOW requirements; all quotations must meet or exceed the SOW’s required salient characteristics.
Q4: I am working on this opportunity and the manufacturer has some questions that need to be clarified to proceed with your requirement. To quote your canopy we will require a sketch.
A4: A sketch will not be provided by the Government. Quotation development is the responsibility of each quoter.
Q5: Can you confirm the minimum insurance requirements for this project (e.g., general liability, workers’ comp, auto, umbrella, etc.)?
A5: Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 28.306, the Government is not concerned with the contractor’s insurance coverage due to the contract being a firm-fixed-price contract.
Q6: Will the Government be making an award directly from this round of quotes, or should we expect a shortlist or follow-up round? Please confirm whether this is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation as stated.
A6: Please see FAR 52.212-2 included within solicitation attachment 2 for the evaluation criteria and methodology applicable to this acquisition. Yes, this is a LPTA acquisition.
Q7: Is there any existing site survey or documentation of existing structure and layout?
A7: Site survey documentation is not available. An aerial photo and approximate location of the canopy installation location has been provided within the SOW; if necessary, any of the concrete barriers that are in the way can be moved by CBP port personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for any site surveys necessary after award for completion of the project per SOW section 2.1.
Q8: Does this need to meet Davis Bacon Wage Rates?
A8: FAR 52.222-6, Construction Wage Rate Requirements, is not applicable to this acquisition.
Q9: Does our engineer, or we as a company, need to be compliant with NIST SP 800-171?
A9: The Government is not concerned with any terms or conditions regarding NIST SP 800- 171 compliance as part of this acquisition.
Q10: GSA Pricing fully applies here, correct?
A10: No. This is an open market solicitation utilizing FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).
