Notice Regarding Contractor Questions and Answers Solicitation AG-32SC-S-15-0003 February 26, 2015

Please take notice:

Posted today are the bulk of contractor questions and corresponding answers regarding the above solicitation. These questions are almost exclusively technical in nature and are being posted now to avoid further delay. The remaining questions and answers, to be posted soon, are primarily contractual or procedural in nature, relating to the solicitation process, forms, etc.

There were a number of similar questions. Some questions were also submitted by the same contractor multiple times. Although every effort was made to answer all questions presented, it is possible that questions submitted were inadvertently overlooked. There is no current plan for a second round of questions. However, if a contractor submitted a technical question that was not answered, it may re-submit that question by forwarding the original correspondence no later than Monday, March 2, 2015, 5 pm EST to randal.barnett@ars.usda.gov. This is not an opportunity to amend or add questions. New or amended questions will not be answered.
