About this file

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a U.S. Coast Guard solicitation (70Z03825QK0000016) for purchasing 3M masking tape. The Q&A addresses four key vendor inquiries, including clarifications about product traceability, shipping address, submission requirements, and certificate of conformance documentation. Specifically, the document reveals that vendors must provide quotes with clear traceability to 3M Company (CAGE Code: 76381), submit quotations on company letterhead, and include both the manufacturer's and vendor's certificates of conformance. The shipping destination is the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, NC, and the solicitation requires NEW approved parts from the original manufacturer or authorized distributors.

The Q&A provides additional context for the solicitation, which seeks 1,200 rolls of 3M 233+ 48x55M green masking tape (Part Number 26340), with a required delivery of fifteen days after receipt of order. Vendors must ensure complete documentation tracing the product from manufacturer to current location, and only brand-name items from 3M will be considered. The solicitation is unrestricted, with a closing date of 17 March 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and an anticipated award date of 19 March 2025, with email quotations preferred and to be sent to Rose.A.Bateman@uscg.mil.

A00001 to 70Z03825QK0000016 Questions and Answers

Solicitation Document Question

1.

The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is asking the actual size based on 48x55M.

Answer: As stated in the solicitation the USCG is only accepting quotes that provide clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) – 3M Company (CAGE Code: 76381). Traceability means a clear, complete, documented, and auditable paper trail that traces each step from an OEM or distributor to its current location. The chart in the bidders question does not contain 3M part numbers and would not be deemed technically acceptable.

2.

Provide the ship to address.

Answer: The shipping address can be found in the Terms and Conditions attachment, page 15.

USCG Aviation Logistics Center Receiving Section, Bldg. 63 1664 Weeksville Road Elizabeth City, NC 27909-5001 Purchase Order Number: (to be determined at time of issuance)

A00001 to 70Z03825QK0000016 Questions and Answers

3.

I don’t see anything uploaded on sam.gov other than the terms and conditions document and the brand name justification document. Is there a solicitation document we need to use, or can I just provide the item pricing data on our letterhead?

Answer: Only attachments, terms and conditions and the brand name justification documents are posted to Sam.gov. The vendor may submit a quotation on letterhead.

4.

It appears we need to provide certificates of conformance both from 3M and from us, is that correct?

Answer: Per the solicitation synopsis, the manufacturer's COC and its own certificate of conformance is required.
