Shavokie Gibson Contracting Officer

Here are a couple more RFQ questions for the Fargo/BHHCS requirement.

SOW 2.4.2.1.23 states, "Contractor shall indicate on Attachment B Chem IC Workbook each analyte that can be set to auto dilute on each instrument model offered.” Please confirm the Attachment B Chem IC Workbook will be provided to the vendors in order to comply with this requirement, it is not included with the documents posted in the event on SAM.gov. Oversight on my part. We consolidated information into the SOW and eliminated attachment B. If it is ok with you, they can indicate on attachment A. They can add a column or comment on that sheet. Alternately, they can submit it in their own format if it already exists.

SOW 2.4.2.2 Contractor Middleware Management System: Does each site require its own instance of middleware or can they share an instance within their time zone? This does no refer to Data Innovations, rather any middleware system the vendor might require for 2.2.2.1-2.2.2.7. I am not familiar with sites sharing this instance as I thought it was specific to the analyzer. If they are referring to their own Contractor Middleware Management system, it should not be shared. (Each site will not have the same rules, criteria for repeat testing, etc.)

Solicitation Provisions, E.1 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021) (b).

As no further submission instructions are provided outside of the standard submission language provided within this FAR, please confirm these are the submission instructions vendors are to follow and that submissions are to be submitted via e-mail to both Timothy Kimmel (primary) and Shavokie Gibson (secondary).
