Comment/Question Answer

General 1 J.1

When will the Government provide the attachments that were not distributed through FBO.gov?

If a non-disclosure agreement is required, we request that it be made available as soon as possible.

As noted in the Statement of Work (SOW), some documents require a Non- Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

The NDA has been uploaded to FBO.gov. The completed NDA shall be submitted to Millie Cortes and Gladys Wilks. Upon receipt of a complete NDA, the attachments will be sent to the Offeror. As further noted in the SOW, some attachments may be redacted due to proprietary or confidential information.

2 L.4.1 Attachment S

With respect to past performance, the instructions in RFP Section L.4.1 and Attachment S are in conflict. In the former, the instructions indicate offerors can cite contracts which have been performed within the last five years.

There is no limitation regarding the duration of the contract cited.

In Attachment S, citations are restricted to contracts that entail “at least five (5) years of production experience using the Intaglio currency press from supplier.” Because new intaglio presses are continually being introduced in markets around the world, the requirement for a minimum of five years’ duration would overly restrict the references that a bidder can submit.

Please confirm that the Section L instructions (contracts within the past five years) take precedence and modify Attachment S to be consistent with Section L (removing the five-year duration statement).

Please see Amendment A0001, Section 14 above.
