Questions and Answers Updated March 17.pdf

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a U.S. Coast Guard solicitation for overhead hoist inspections at Base Charleston. The Q&A addresses two specific questions: confirming this is a new contract requirement without an incumbent, and verifying that a 19' scissor lift will reach all the hoists to be inspected. The solicitation (Number 70Z036-24-Q-0049) is a 100% small business set-aside for inspecting five overhead hoists, with a firm fixed-price purchase order contract type and a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation process. Quotes are due by 5:00 PM EST on March 21, 2025, and must be submitted via email to the Point of Contact, SKC Hitchcox, with work to be performed at two USCG locations in Charleston, South Carolina.
