Amendment 3.pdf

This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) response from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) regarding Request for Quote (RFQ) 70Z03826QE0000026, issued as Amendment 3 on April 22, 2026.

The document addresses two vendor inquiries. Question 1 concerns whether the USCG can eliminate Canadian-to-US tariffs; the USCG response clarifies that tariff elimination is outside Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) jurisdiction and instructs vendors to include tariff pricing as a separate reimbursable line item on their quotes, with proof of tariff costs required at invoice submission. Question 2 addresses the location of First Article Inspection (FAI) testing, with the USCG confirming that testing will be performed at the USCG Aviation Logistic Center (ALC) and directing vendors to reference Updated Attachment 4 regarding Test and Evaluation Section 3.0 Test Procedures for additional details. The document explicitly states that question numbers are provided for reference only and do not indicate prioritization.
