AMENDMENT 0002, RFQ 36C24824Q0276

NO. QUESTION ANSWER

Will any other companies other than a Service Disable, Veteran Owned, Small Business (SDVOSB) be considered for award.

Unfortunately, we cannot consider any firms that are not certified SDVOSB. The only chance we could consider any other firms, other than SDVOSBs, is if we do not get two or more SDVOSBs proposals in response to this initial Request for Quote (RFQ). If this is the case, we would re-solicit this RFQ requirement and open up it up to the next level VOSBs.

34 This is 100% set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned companies only, correct? Correct

35 My company is SBE. Do we still qualify to submit a proposal? Vendor must be a certified Service Disabled, Veteran Owned Small business (SDVOSB) to be eligible for award.

36 Are we required to be registered with Sam.Gov.? Yes, all vendors are required to be registered in Sams.gov to do business.
