Questions and Answers to RFP 89233122RNA000153 Amendment 002

The purpose of this amendment is to answer a question submitted in response to Amendment 001.

I am writing to seek clarification of an ambiguity that arises from two contradicting terms in the responses to bidder inquiries released as RFP 89233122RNA000153 Amendment 001.

In response to Question No. 1, the Government states that “NNSA does not require that the vendor offering the material has also produced the exact material being offered.” But to Question No. 5, NNSA responds, in part, that “the uranium [being offered] must have been produced by a vendor whose facility has operated at some point since January 1, 2009.”

Please clarify by responding to the following:

1) Must an eligible vendor have itself produced the U.S. uranium it offers for sale under this solicitation for the Uranium Reserve Program?

Answer: No. The Government is just requiring that the offeror has operated a domestic facility at some point since January 1, 2009. The offeror is NOT required to have produced the exact material being offered.

2) Is an eligible vendor permitted to sell U.S.-produced uranium that has been purchased from a supplier if that supplier did not have a facility in operation at some point since January 1, 2009?

Answer: Yes. An eligible vendor is permitted to sell U.S. produced uranium from a supplier if that supplier did not have a facility in operation at some point since January 1, 2009.
