36C10G19Q0047 Exam Chairs Amendment 0001 - Questions & Answers

1. In the solicitation, it mentions FOB Delivery to VA Facilities throughout the United States, U.S. Territories, Guam & The Philippines. However, the OEM (Midmark) does not quote shipping to U.S. Territories, Hawaii, Guam or the Philippines, due to there being an export cost. How do we break that out on our bid to the Government?

Answer: Vendors should quote pricing while taking shipping into consideration. The solicitation incorporates the FAR clause 52.247-34 F.O.B. Destination (incorporated by reference, ATTACHMENT C – CONTRACT CLAUSES, page 13). Free on board at destination shipping is the responsibility of the vendor and must be included in the firm fixed price quote. For full text, refer to the FAR section 52; an excerpt of this reference follows:

52.247-34 (a) (1) Free of expense to the Government, on board the carrier’s conveyance, at a specified delivery point where the consignee’s facility (plant, warehouse, store, lot, or other location to which shipment can be made) is located

2. If there are terms and conditions the Vendor may not be able to agree to will the VA consider exceptions to terms and conditions?

Answer: No; the terms and conditions contained within the solicitation are required by the VA for this acquisition.

3. Will the vendor be permitted to raise prices in the Contract’s option years?

Answer: No; this is a firm-fixed price contract. Refer to ATTACHMENT E – SOLICITATION PROVISIONS, paragraph E.7 ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION — COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014), C. EVALUATION APPROACH, 2. Price:

The proposed firm fixed unit prices will be binding and incorporated in the resultant contract and utilized for all future orders placed during the term of the contract.

Vendors should quote prices for each period utilizing ATTACHMENT A – COST/PRICE SCHEDULE for the Base (tab 1) and each option period (tabs 2 & 3).

Answer: Yes; this solicitation is hereby extended one week. Quotes are due no later than 4:00PM EDT on April 30, 2019.

5. If Vendors are unable to ship to the U.S. Territories, Guam, or the Philippines will they be disqualified?

Answer: Yes; the VA has medical facilities in these geographic areas that may be in need of this requirement over the course of the contract. Refer to the Combined Synopsis Solicitation, page 2, Requirement Description:
