SOLICITATION: 6923G219Q000002 ‐Amendment 00001 – WORK JACKETS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS‐

1. I would like to know if it is possible to get previous award history/brand name of jacket?

A) A brand name is not being sought for this solicitation however, the characteristics of the jacket as described in the solicitation must be met.

2. Can you tell me the brand you have pictured?

A) Brand name is not being requested for this solicitation

3. This item is manufactured by a large international company who owns a portfolio of several retail brands. Annually, they revise their pricing based on current material, production and transportation costs, with little or no notice. Distributors of their products (such as us) have no control over their pricing. That being said, is it acceptable to bid a firm price for the current year and a % discount off manufacturer's suggested retail pricing for all extension years? That would allow you to know that you are getting the lowest possible price and for us to protect ourselves on manufacturer price changes which we have to control over. If agreeable, we would bid a % discount off manufacturer's suggested retail pricing for all extension years but show no extended price.

A) At this time, we are looking for Firm Fixed Price quotes for a base and three (3) option years. If the market indicates that this is not feasible, we will amend our solicitation.

4. What price was offered last year for these jackets?

A) A similar solicitation last year was awarded in the amount of $44,280.00.
