Sheet1
| Question Submitted | Governments Response |
| Manufacturer’s packing will greatly increase the size of the packaging to kit the requested items. Will the Government reconsider requiring the products to remain in the original manufacturing products? | No |
| Some of the requested items are less in quantity than the bulk order quantities we received from the manufacturers. For example, the plates comes to us box of quantities of 1,000 but within the box they are in sleeves of 25 plates. Please confirm the Government means for the original manufacturer’s packing to be the inner sleeves. | Original manufacture's packaging refers to the sleeve in the example provided not the entire case of plates. |
| There are 2 locations identified for shipping the kits. The follow on paragraph then states the RFQ may identify other locations for the kits to be delivered. Will the cost of shipping be a separate line item for those locations not identified in the RFP? | Yes, a separate line item for shipping will be included in the BPA Call Order Request for Quote |
| Section 4.1.1 states the containers must be able to with stand various climate conditions. Is the Government expecting the kits to be shipped in plastic containers? Typically kits are shipped in cardboard boxes and wrapped with plastic. This would not protect the boxes from getting wet should they be exposed to rain, snow, etc. | Cardboard boxes are acceptable. A bottom layer of water proof material on the pallet before the cardboard boxes are placed on the pallet and then wrapping the pallet to prevent water intrusion using shrink wrap is acceptable. |
| Is the dinnerware meant to be disposable or reusable? | Disposable |
| Is NSF approved items acceptable vs FDA approved? | Items need to be on the FDA list as being Bio-Preferred. |
