Questions & Responses

Question 1:

Does the 24 month option period require 50 new systems, or will it be a 24 month lease extension on the same 50 units delivered under CLIN 0001?

Answer 1:

The 24 month lease will be for 50 new systems under CLIN0001. CLIN0008 is an option for an additional 50 new systems under a new 24 month option period.

Question 2:

Will we be able to provide different CONUS vs OCONUS pricing in CLINs 0002 (1002), 0005 (1005), 0006(1006)?

Answer 2:

Please break out your pricing for support at each CONUS and OCONUS location.

Question 3:

Can you provide additional detail as to the ship-to, service, & training locations?

Answer 3:

For pricing consideration, please consider up to 2 OCONUS and 3 CONUS locations.

Question 4:

What will be the invoice frequency for the system lease (ie monthly, quarterly, annually)? Will invoicing be in arrears?

Answer 4:

This is vendor-specific. Monthly invoicing is typical and will usually occur by the 10th of the month following contract performance.

Question 5:

Can you expand on the plumbing requirements for CLIN 0001 (1001)?

Answer 5:

The systems will be run using municipal water sources. All pipes, valves, taps and other fittings will be those used for the typical supply of drinking-water.

Question 6:

What is the government’s expectation for the systems upon lease termination? Will ownership transfer to the government or do the systems need to be picked up? If the latter, will pick-up also be consolidated to a maximum on 5 locations.

Answer 6:

Upon termination of the lease, the systems will need to be transported back to the Vendor from up to 5 locations.

Question 7:

Can you provide an estimated timeline for award?

Answer 7:

Should a successful proposal be chosen, an award announcement is anticipated within 4Q2019.

Question 8:

Would you be able to expand on the “Ability to Transition” and the “Relevance to ASPR Mission & Impact” sections of the evaluation criteria?

Answer 8:

For the Technical Approach Section, ASPR is interested in the Proposer’s:

- Evidence and plan to transition the technology to government or commercial application.

- Written commitments and demonstrated prior experience transitioning technical solutions to market.

- Experience with bringing multiple parties together, and forming alliances which could demonstrate their ability to maximize the impact of the program.

- Identification of major technical risks (inclusive of required intellectual property rights to technology) and planned mitigation efforts are clearly defined and feasible.

For the Relevance to the ASPR Mission and Impact, ASPR is interested in the Proposer’s understanding of how the technology will be used to deliver care in response and recovery missions.
