Questions & Answers for Solicitation 2031ZA20Q00185

1. I want to confirm the quantities you have asked to bid. You are asking 1 drum of each Round buttons, pellets and crowns in each shipment. Please confirm the minimum quantity of drums of Round buttons, pellets and crowns will be each shipment. The minimum quantity is a six month supply for each facility which would be 4000 lbs. for each facility as outlined below:

- 4000 lbs. of S-Rounds for WCF (551 lb. drums/250 kg drums)

- 4000 lbs. of S-Pellets for DCF (300 lb. drums/135kg drums

2. We cannot find the total quantity requested or ship-to location in any of the documents in order to place an offer. Please refer to question number 1.

3. You define the packaging as 551 lb. or 250 kg for the S Rounds but in SECTION B: Price Schedule you have it listed as 300 lbs. Standard package is 250 kg drums. Which would you like? The 250 kg drums are for WCF and the 300 lb. drums are for DCF

4. Can you offer the base annual usage as defined by projected need for Nickel S Pellets and Nickel S

Rounds? It is estimated that we wouldn’t order anything less than what is stated above in number 1 as we can use 1000 lbs. a week during our busiest times. The contract minimum will be satisfied with the first delivery order

5. We can quote each of these but I find no data suggesting amount in each year requested. Should I assume up to 10,000 lb. of each? Please see question number 1. Please assume up to 9,000 pounds for each for both DCF and WCF for all ordering periods.

6. There seems to be 4 listings of this particular solicitation - are these all the same listings or different? To clarify should only be one listing for solicitation 2031ZA20Q00185. If you find others, please let The

Contracts Specialist know and it will be corrected. Are the Rounds R Rounds or D Crowns? The

Rounds are S Rounds. We are not seeking D-Crowns.

7. Are the pellets S Pellets or P Pellets? We are seeking S Pellets, not P Pellets.

8. What are the ship-to locations?
