Attachment B - Bid Questions.docx

This is a bid questions document for Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security Open Market Bid 26-588IEMA-MGMTA-B-49350, which seeks calibration services for the Department of Nuclear Safety's Electrical Measurement Instruments. The solicitation requires that the vendor's laboratory maintain ISO 17025 accreditation and that all calibrations be traceable to National Standards. The document contains six standardized questions that vendors must address as part of their bid submission, covering comprehensive requirements regarding service delivery, equipment handling, and quality assurance procedures.

The bid questions address critical operational and compliance requirements for the calibration services. Vendors must confirm whether they are bidding on all line items, whether services will be performed at an ISO 17025 accredited facility, and whether work will be conducted on-site at 1301 Knotts Street, Springfield, Illinois. Additional questions require vendors to provide itemized lists of equipment requiring shipment along with turnaround times if off-site work is necessary, confirm that all shipping costs are included in unit pricing, and verify that calibrated instruments will receive calibration stickers upon completion of services. These questions establish the baseline requirements vendors must satisfy to be considered responsive to the solicitation.
