Questions and Answers:

1. As we discussed, this product is only available in 10 kg plastic bags, with 5 bags packed in a cardboard box. There are 20 boxes on a pallet. Therefore, 22 boxes = 2,425 pounds. Can you confirm whether this packaging is acceptable?

This is how we receive them in drums. The pellets are in the original bags. The bags are in 35-gallon drums. The drums are skidded up and shipped out to us. The overall weight does not need to be exactly 300 lbs.

2. Do you think that the S-pellets can be placed in the drums without removing them from the 10kg bags…..Meaning, place the entire bag in the drums. This would prevent contamination. Also, must the net weight of each drum be 300 pounds? Are other weights acceptable? Are there required dimensions of the drums?

This is how we receive them. The pellets are in the original bags. The bags are in 35-gallon drums. The drums are skidded up and shipped out to us. The overall weight does not need to be exactly 300 lbs. If they are a bit over that is no issue.

3. We have seen in the past that government agencies have special requirements for the vendor like they must be veteran owned, minority owned, or woman owned. We do not tick any of those boxes, so can you tell me if this would prevent us from doing business with you?

Depending upon what is required in the solicitation. If you are a large business and the solicitation is set-aside to small business, then you will be disqualified if you submit a proposal; however, if the solicitation is open to large business or full and open competition, then you can submit a proposal.

4. Could you please confirm what types of supporting documentation are required to be submitted with the proposal? Once clarified, we will provide any necessary documents to ensure a complete submission.

Please read the entirety of the solicitation, amendment, and attachment.
