PREVIOUS EDITION UNUSABLE

Prescribed by GSA, FAR (48 CFR) 53.243

1) PROVIDE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AS SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THE RFP

Q1: The options are incorrectly listed for the 13Z. Can we quote the new LU90, LU91, and LU92 packages if GSA lists them accurately?

A1: No, The legacy options (DHU1, DHU3, LE1E, LE2E, LE3E,LE4E) are set to "Not Available" in ROADS for SIN 13Z. The LU 90, LU 91, and LU 92 law enforcement options are limited to SINS 17Z, 105Z, and 30Z."

Q2: What is the deadline for proposal submission?

A2: Pre-Proposal Conference – October 3, 2019, at 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM

AutoBid due date/time – October 30, 2019, at 3:00 PM

Proposal due date/time – October 31, 2019, at 12:00 noon

Questions due date/time – October 18, 2019, at 3:00 PM

Q3: Will the solicitation open up again after the Deadline of the Oct. 24th to adjust pricing and body related details?

A3: At this time, the Government intends to make awards without discussions. This means when AutoBid closes on October 30, 2019, all pricing must be submitted by the given deadline. All other data, to include body related details, has already been submitted during the AutoStandards phase. If this data needs to be revised, this should be indicated on your proposal submission for the engineers to review.

If your firm needs to take technical exceptions to the Federal Standards, these must be submitted with your proposal submission on the appropriate attachment D by the proposal submission deadline, October 31, 2019.

Q4: Can we make a “ADD MODEL” REQUEST for Europe 2020 in first week of solicitation?

A4: No, at this time, the Government IS NOT accepting alternate models. The models listed in the Schedule of Items listed in Attachment F1 are the only models GSA is seeking at the moment. If a model was not included this year, it was determined by the program office and engineering the line item is no longer necessary.

Q5: Do you have the LU Options for Mobile Office and Law Enforcement broken down on separate sheets or excels?

A5: Yes, the requirements for the Law Enforcement options and the Mobile Office conversion packages are located in the European Light Vehicle Purchase Description, attachment E1.

The Law Enforcement Options have separate attachments for submission. Please use attachments M, N, O, and P as required by the solicitation requirements.

The Mobile Office conversion packages should be priced and submitted with all other options during your proposal submission. There are no special submission requirements for the mobile office option.

Q6: FUEL: There seems to be an issue since the fuel economy data is in “imperial” (except for grams) and EU standards are liters/100km , is this correct?

OPTIONS: Also, how can there be a column “FY2020 Previous Year Price”?

A6: 1) The European program does not require fuel economy data. This data set is not applicable to Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS) contracts.

2) There is no need to fill in this data. The FY2020 Previous Price column is for the previous contract price. This column would indicate the previous price paid for a FY2020 vehicle model.

Q7: Will the FedBizOpps transition to the new SAM system affect this solicitation?

A7: FBO has not yet been fully transitioned to beta.sam.gov. GSA will keep all interested parties updated as information becomes available. Interested parties should go ahead and request an account on beta.sam.gov in anticipation of the transition.

For additional information, please use the link provided below:

https://www.gsa.gov/cdnstatic/FBO_Is_Transitioning_to_Beta_Factsheet_%281%29.pdf

Q8: There is a fuel and emissions standard tab. Do we ignore this now if Europe is not required to submit fuel and emissions?

A8: Please do not submit fuel and emissions requirements.

2) ADD OPTIONS LU90 and LU91 – Law Enforcement options (patrol/investigations) FOR LINE ITEM 99Z.

This option should now be available in AutoBid.

3) Extend the closing date for questions FROM: 3:00pm Eastern on October 08, 2019, TO: 3:00pm Eastern October 18, 2019.

4) Extend the closing date for AutoBid FROM: 3:00pm Eastern on October 23, 2019, TO: 3:00pm Eastern October 30, 2019.

5) Extend the closing date for Proposals FROM: 12:00pm Eastern on October 24, 2019, TO: 12:00pm Eastern October 31, 2019.
