Questions Received for Automated Pill Counters RFQ

1. We noticed the pricing sheet changed and we have a few questions on how to complete. Previously you wanted the 3% SLA fee included in the total proposed price. Is that still the case? For example would our per unit price offer be the commercial price and the proposed unit price equal this price plus the SLA fee?

Answer: Yes, please refer to Attachment E of RFQ, which has instructions on how to embed the SLA fee to the total unit price with the following language:

Per solicitation Clause “SAC Service Level agreement fee and submission of Quarterly Sales reports”: To facilitate SLA reimbursement, offerors must include (imbed) the SLA fee into their prices; therefore, the fee will be reflected in the total amount charged and transparent to ordering activities.

The current SLA which applies to this contract action is 3.0%. This SLA Fee shall be imbedded in the awarded contract/agreement price(s), and offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall include this SLA Fee in the price of every line item offered.
