Vendors’ Questions and the Government’s Answers Regarding RFQ No. 75F40125Q00182
Question #1: We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?
Answer #1: This is an entirely new effort.
Question #2: As a GSA Schedule holder, we wanted to kindly inquire if there is a specific reason this requirement is not being solicited through the GSA Schedule, given that the item is commercially available and listed on Schedule.
Answer #2: Per FAR 8.004(a)(1), the use of Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) is not mandatory.
The Government considered using FSS and conducted a search of GSA Advantage! as part of its market research. However, the Government was not able to identify FSS contractors that could fulfill all of the Government’s requirements.
