1. Question: There is no specific mention of a requirement of the Prime Contractor to be licensed in the State of North Carolina (with the Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services) to supply/distribute medical grade oxygen (a prescription drug). PG 40 of 64, under “ Factor 1: Technical Approach,” lists some certifications offerors/contractors must provide but it is not specific that the Prime must be in compliance with State of North Carolina licensing requirements (Prime Contractor must also be licensed, not just the sub). Please confirm that offerors/SDVOSB Prime Contractor must hold a Medical Gas Supplier license for the State of North Carolina to resell/distribute medical grade oxygen at the time of the Proposal submission.

Response: NC WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS must be licensed to distribute a prescription drug. Drug manufacturers, wholesalers, and repackers are required to register or license each location operating in North Carolina annually. Out-of-state prescription drug manufacturers, repackers, or wholesalers shipping directly to North Carolina are also required to be properly registered. The following lists the current license fees that are required to be renewed each calendar year. Since the SDVOSB will be the Prime Contractor and considered the wholesale distributors, they must be licensed.

1. Question: PG 19 of 64 – FAR 52.228-5 “Insurance Work on a Government Installation” is stated for this requirement (incorporated by reference). “Insurance Work on a Government Installation” (FAR 52.228-5) conflicts with PGs 19-20, where paragraph (a) requires the offeror to have the types of insurance for the work being performed (not relegated to an undefined dollar threshold). The supplemental insurance amounts included on PGs 19-20 are not definitive and conflict directly with FAR 52.228-5.

Response: The vendor will be required to provide a copy of their insurance upon submission of their quote and properly insured for NAICS 325120.
