Questions & Answers

1. For CLIN 0009, does installation include only standard OEM setup and demonstration, or are any site preparation, electrical, network, or validation services required?

Answer: There are no additional site preparations required, standard OEM setup and demonstration is the only requirement.

2. For the OEM authorization letter, does it need to be specifically issued for Lotus

Logistics and this solicitation, or is a current general authorized distributor/reseller letter acceptable?

Answer: An OEM Authorization to Distribute Letter is needed from the original manufacturer of any item that is being quoted. This is a Brand Name or Equal solicitation, if the Offeror is not the OEM then they will need to get a letter from the OEM to show the Offeror is authorized to distribute/sell the OEM’s product.

3. For Factor 2 – Past Performance, is there anything the offeror should submit, or will the

VA evaluate this from available Government records and other sources?

Answer: Offerors may submit any past performance that is recent and relevant to this solicitation; however, there is no requirement to do so. It is not required to submit past performance information.

4. For CLINs 0005–0008, please confirm that the quantity of “1 EA” means one manufacturer package as described in each CLIN.

Answer: This requirement should be quoted with only 1 manufacturer for the entire requirement. The CLIN’s quantity is for “1 each” of the products and all products should be from one manufacturer that is Brand Name or Equal.
