70Z04019Q61350 Amendment Number A00001

14b. This Amendment is issued to provide responses to questions submitted.

1. QUESTION Upon review of the requirements of the bid section 6.2 under the statement of work requires the laboratory to be certified to ISO 17025. It also states that it is acceptable and preferable if the lab is certified to ISO 9001. We ask that the ISO 9001 preference be removed from the evaluation and that ISO 17025 be the standard.

ANSWER: The requirement in the SOW is for the ISO/IEC 17024:2005 or later accreditation. There is not a formal requirement to also be ISO 9001 certified, it is only preferred. While the ISO/IEC 17025 does have management requirements similar to ISO 9001, they are separate accreditations and the SOW will not be updated since ISO 9001 is not required.

14c. The due date for submission of offers remains as July 9, 2019.

14d. Offerors must sign and return one (1) copy of this amendment with their quotation. Failure to return one signed copy may render the quotation unacceptable and the quotation may be eliminated from further consideration.
