Please clarify if the annual hours listed in the Labor Category chart are accurate.Please reference amendment 0001
RFP E.3.2e68"(e) Past performance is for the prime contractor or joint venture partners." As the past performance relevancy requirement is very specific, and the number of tobacco related inspection contracts are relatively limited, would the Government please consider allowing teaming partner/subcontractor Past Performance to be included in the up to 5 Past Performance references?Please refer to the response in the 4th row above.
RFP E.3.3369"We are requesting utilization of your GSA Federal Schedule contract pricing, if applicable. A price reduction is hereby requested from you GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. You must indicate any discounts from the prices contained in your GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, if offered." We are able to offer discounts to GSA customers; however, offering a spot discount from our GSA pricing to FDA will require us to offer an even greater discount to all of our GSA customers (including all of our current task orders through the price adjustment clause in Schedule contracts). Please advise if an offeror should use other than GSA pricing if it allows for an offer of better value to FDA?As stated in Section E.3.3 (2), Price Proposal, "We are requesting utilization of your GSA Federal Schedule contract pricing, if applicable. A price reduction is hereby requested from you GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract. You must indicate any discounts from the prices contained in your GSA Federal Supply Schedule contract, if offered." GSA pricing is "requested", not required.
