# Question Response 1 Can you please confirm the due date for submission? Page 3 of the
PDF document states “All quoters shall submit one copy of quote via e-mail to the Contracting Officer, Charlotte Ange, charlotte.ange@nih.gov. Submission of quotes shall be received not later than September 13, 2024, at 1100 AM EST.” But there is also a reference to a September 3rd submission date.
Submission due date has been corrected. Amendment 1 posted on August 23, 2024, and extended the submission due to September 16, 2024@ 11:00AM ET. Amendment 2 is revising the submission due date again and extending the submission due to September 18, 2024 @ 11:00AM ET.
2 Would the government please confirm the grade of Liquid CO2 required for the bulk tanks? Is it to be USP?
The grade of Liquid CO2 required for the bulk tanks is medical grade.
Yes, it is to be USP.
3 May we request additional time to ask questions? Amendment 1, posted on August 23, 2024, extended the due date for questions to August 28, 2024, at 11:00 AM ET.
4 May we conduct a site visit prior to submitting our offer? Please advise if a date/time can be provided.
No. No site visit will be held for this procurement.
5 Would NIH consider extending the due date to allow time to prepare our proposal after reviewing the site and bulk installation locations?
The Submission due date is being extending to September 18, 2024 @ 11:00AM ET. Please see Amendment 2, the revised Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, and revised CSS attachments. No site visit will be held for this procurement.
6 Rental for liquids and gases is listed on the worksheet as both an annual lease rate price and a monthly rental unit of measure. (Vendor) would like to provide a quote per cylinder, per month for the monthly rental. Does NIH wish to let the vendor select the preferable unit of measurement for rental?
Attachments V, VI, and IX have been revised for clarity. The government is seeking a monthly rental rate each bulk tank and a per unit (cylinder and dewar) rate for cylinders and dewars. Please also refer to Statement of Work section 4.6.1, which states “The Contractor will establish a Flat Rate Rental Fee for dewars, cylinders, and bulk tanks that will be adjusted once a year after the inventory has been conducted. Prior to inventory all empty tanks must be removed.”
7 Please confirm if bulk oxygen and bulk oxygen tank rental is a part of this solicitation. If so, please let us know if it may be added to the vendor line items on the worksheet.
We do not have bulk oxygen tanks. Only bulk Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide tanks are a part of the solicitation. Vendors should provide their own bulk tanks and are responsible for installation (Phase in) and removal (Phase out). Please refer to revised Statement of Work Section 4.2 for additional information.
