Questions

1. Reference page 3, item 2, Safety Data Sheet: “The SDS(s) shall be submitted in either electronic or hardcopy form to the Contract Specialist identified in Block 7a on the SF-1449 form at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the submittal of material samples.” This requirement would have offerors submitting the SDSs on the day following the solicitation release. In order to have adequate time to meet this requirement, we are requesting an extension with a close date of October 11, 2019?

Response: As of amendment #2, the solicitation is amended to extend solicitation close date to October 11, 2019.

2. Reference page 12, Basis of Award: “The Government may consider awarding multiple BPAs from this solicitation, one BPA for each facility.”

Response: Government may award multiple award BPA by specific line item or by facility.

b. How will Government determine location of delivery based on the current price list? Are some items only delivered to specific facilities?

Response: All line items can be delivered to either delivery location.

c. Can the pricing matrix be amended to be defined by location?

Response: The proposed pricing matrix can be submitted defined by location. Proposals are to be provided for each CLIN. Offerors should carefully read Section Instruction to Offerors of the solicitation for instructions.

See attachment A – ABA Color Standard/Pantone color reference table.

6. Reference page 7, Past Performance Questionnaires: “Offeror shall ensure the assessor is properly notified and given adequate time to complete their assessment.” Due to the short suspense, no offerors can ensure the assessors have adequate time to complete their assessments.” Would Government be willing to accept completed questionnaires after the close date, or potentially extend the close date to October 11, 2019?

Response: As of amendment #2, the solicitation is amended to extend solicitation close date to October 11, 2019.

7. Reference page 7, Past Performance Questionnaires: Can completed CPARS be substituted for Past Performance Questionnaires?

Response: Completed CPARS are acceptable for submission in response to Past Performance Questionnaires, as long as the projects are similar in complexity, size, and scope.
