Q&A:

Please note that the following information has been added to the solicitation, which was revealed in correspondence with Industry. The following questions and answers (highlighted) are provided:

1. Our response will be based on the OR 1 Alternative specifications. The document makes reference to both providing a NEW recording/archive system and to interfacing with the current Image Stream Recorders and Archive system. Is the intent to a) provide an add-on to the existing system that must be compatible with the old Image Stream equipment, b) to simply integrate the existing recorders if we are capable of using them for recording with our system or c) should we propose both options? Continuity of solution is important. Vendors may quote both options, but integrating the existing recorders would be the preferred single option.

2. What does the table on page 7 with CLINs 0001 - 0018 refer to? Is that an overview of the request and we focus on the OR 1 Alternative Table? I interpret that you are looking for CLINs 0001 - 0032 to match the table that has a Unit Cost and Total Cost listed. (The table on page 7 does not have a Unit Cost and a Total Cost listed). The table on page 7 is the existing equipment in OR 1. If Vendors are responding to at least “OR 1” (top of page 8), Vendors must ensure compatibility across all ORs including the equipment on page 7. “OR 1, Alternative” is what is needed to replace the equipment on page 7.

3. On page 54: (f) Buy American Certificate. (Applies only if the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.225-1, Buy American—Supplies, is included in this solicitation.) Can you please tell me if the Clause at FAR 52.225-1, Buy American-Supplies is included in this solicitation? What I'd like to know is: If any products quoted are manufactured outside of the USA, do we need to identify each of them and list a country of origin? Clause at 52.225-1 does not apply to this solicitation.

4. On pages 55-58 - are any of the Free Trade Agreements listed included in this solicitation? Similar to my question 3. Clause at 52.225-3 and 52.225-5 does not apply to this solicitation.

Clause Fill-Ins:

Clause at 52.216-18 is missing the following information in the solicitation, which is highlighted and hereby included:

C.4 52.216-18 ORDERING (OCT 1995)

(a) Any supplies and services to be furnished under this contract shall be ordered by issuance of delivery orders or task orders by the individuals or activities designated in the Schedule. Such orders may be issued from date of award through five years from date of award.

(b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract shall control.

(c) If mailed, a delivery order or task order is considered "issued" when the Government deposits the order in the mail. Orders may be issued orally, by facsimile, or by electronic commerce methods only if authorized in the Schedule.

(End of Clause)

Clause at 52.216-19 is missing the following information in the solicitation, which is highlighted and hereby included:

C.5 52.216-19 ORDER LIMITATIONS (OCT 1995)

(a) Minimum order. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than $2,310,6930.00, the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under the contract.

(b) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor—

(1) Any order for a single item in excess of $60,000.00;

(2) Any order for a combination of items in excess of $2,500,000.00; or

(3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in paragraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section.

(c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 5 days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source.
