Prescribed by GSA

FAR(48 CFR) 53.243

This amendment is being issued to answer questions associated with Request for Proposal (RFP) EL1021-22 that was issued on July 11, 2022.

Q: Is there somewhere within bid document that outlines how much inventory is needing to be stocked, min/max levels, etc….

A: Please review the solicitation and clause 52.216-19 Order Limitations. All offerors shall consider the order Min/Max in this clause and determine inventory based on required lead time. UNICOR will work with successful offer and advise of any information received from OUR customer to better prepare inventory for upcoming orders.

Q: I did not see anywhere in the BID; FAR 52-249-14 is cited , & apologies it is & missed ..

In this supply chain challenged era we live in, we believe it fair & reasonable to insist 52.249-14 , be invoked and be amended to the solicitation, and/or award ; on this opportunity.

We intend to include excusable delays in our offer to UNICOR vendors; as recourse to any unforeseen events that bring us to Force Majeure crisis.

A: The FAR Clause 52.249-14 is only applicable in Cost Reimbursement type contracts, therefore it is not applicable for this solicitation.

Liquidated damages clause 52.211-11 is included in this requirement is incorporated by reference IBR so the full text does not need to be included. The clause states:

“(c) The Contractor will not be charged with liquidated damages when the delay in delivery or performance is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as defined in the Default-Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause in this contract.”

Q: can you confirm that you need ‘delivered’ freight cost included?

A: Yes proposed pricing should include freight costs.

Q: Is anyone putting in for escalation? I didn’t see it on the bid as a potential but I am a bit nervous given the state of the world and increasing labor costs. We try to offer you the BEST price on the market for all items as a partner but curious if escalation is possible? Or if anyone else has brought this up to you?

A: Also there is an Economic Price Adjustment Clause included in EL1021-22 (Cable) It is located in Section H. Page 24

The closing deadline is hereby changed from 2:00 pm EST Monday July 25, 2022 until Friday, July 29, 2022 at 2:00 pm EST.

Except as provided herein, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
