Amendment 1 36C78626Q0088 — Stormwater System Maintenance, Culpeper National Cemetery
1. The General Information header, the Description (“This acquisition is set-aside for Small Business under NAICS code 562998”), and FAR 52.219-6 (Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside) indicate a total Small Business set-aside. However, the Instructions to Quoters and Volume A require that quoters be “certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)” at certify.sba.gov and demonstrate 51% service-disabled-veteran ownership under VAAR 852.219-73, failing which the quote is “non-responsive.” Please confirm which controls: (a) is this a total Small Business set-aside open to all small businesses under NAICS 562998; or (b) is this a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside requiring SBA/VA SDVOSB certification for eligibility
Answer: This is a total small business set-aside open to all small business under NAICS 562998. Clause 852.219-73 has been removed.
2. Applicability of “herbicide and fertilizer” / “general grounds maintenance” language. Several Volume A and Volume B instructions reference “relevant experience in performing herbicide and fertilizer services” and “general grounds maintenance services,” while Attachment A (Statement of Work) describes stormwater BayFilter and outfall maintenance. Please confirm that past-performance relevancy and technical evaluation will be assessed against the stormwater maintenance scope in Attachment A, and that the “herbicide/fertilizer/grounds maintenance” phrasing is residual template language that does not govern this requirement.
Answer: Please see revised combined synopsis/solicitation.
3. The header and Description state NAICS 562998 (size standard $16.5M), while one line in the Description lists “Applicable NAICS: 561730.” Please confirm the controlling NAICS code and size standard for this acquisition.
Answer: The applicable NAICS for this requirement is 562998.
4. Cartridge quantities and “if required” replacement CLINs. Attachment A identifies 34 cartridges (3 × Model 545; 31 × Model 522). For pricing CLINs 003 and 004 (“if required” installed replacement cartridges, Qty 1), please confirm the evaluation quantity the Government wishes quoters to price, and whether any estimated annual replacement quantity should be assumed for a balanced-pricing evaluation under FAR 52.212-2.
Answer: Please see revised SOW and price schedule.
5. The Quoters Submittal section lists Volume B as “relevant experience in performing herbicide and fertilizer Services,” whereas the Technical (Volume B) evaluation section describes key personnel and a work/staffing plan. Please confirm the required content and title of Volume B
Answer: Please see revised synopsis/solicitation.
