About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) solicitation for the Military Working Dog (MWD) Food Program with Hills Pet Nutrition.

The solicitation (F2MTR15213HG01/FA301626Q0130) requires vendors to submit bids via email to SSgt Jan Aison Bry Tanedo and Belinda Tindal at the provided Air Force email addresses, with reference to the combined synopsis-solicitation posting on SAM. The BPA covers specialized pet food items, with the highest-volume line items being CLIN 0005 (Biome dry food, approximately 20 bags monthly), CLIN 0006 (Biome canned, approximately 20 cases monthly), and CLIN 0010 (Low fat Z/D dry, approximately 10 bags monthly). All other items are estimated at 100 bags or cases or less annually, with quantities noted as variable and not guaranteed. Individual BPA call orders are capped at $75,000, while the overall 3-year Master limit will be disclosed upon award. The document confirms that pricing and product specification updates will be made, including amending lines 9 and 20 to reflect 12.5 ounce can sizes and standardizing terminology on lines 1 and 12 to use "food sensitivities" instead of "low allergen" to align with current Hills Pet product naming conventions.

Q&A - F2MTR15213HG01/FA301626Q0130 MWD Food Program BPA – Hills Pet

1. How should the bid be submitted?

Respond to this RFQ by emailing your response to: SSgt Jan Aison Bry Tanedo (Primary Contact Specialist) at jan_aison_bry.tanedo@us.af.mil; and Belinda Tindal (Contracting Officer) at belinda.tindal.1@us.af.mil. Refer to “combined synopsis-solicitation FA301626Q0130” attachment on the SAM posting.

2. Is there any data available regarding the past performance of these specific items?

CLIN 0005 Biome dry approx. 20 bags a month CLIN 0006 Biome canned approx. 20 cases a month CLIN 0010 Low fat Z/D dry approx. 10 bags a month

All of the others would be around or less than 100 bags/cases a year. Quantities may vary and are not guaranteed.

3. Regarding lines 9 and 20: several vendors have indicated these items are only available in 12.5 oz sizes. Please advise if the order will be updated to reflect this change.

Pricelist will be updated accordingly to amend the size to 12.5 oz cans.

4. Could you please clarify if "low allergen" and "food sensitivities" refer to the same requirement for lines 1 and 12?

Z/D used to have “low allergen” in their official name (on the previous contract) but changed it to “food sensitivities”. Pricelist will be updated accordingly to amend “low allergen” to “food sensitivities”

5. The solicitation states that individual BPA call orders shall not exceed $75,000.

Could the Government please clarify whether the $75,000 limitation applies only to individual call orders, or if there is an overall BPA ceiling value or estimated total BPA spend anticipated over the three-year period of performance?

The $75,000.00 limit only applies to individual call orders. The 3-year Master limit will be disclosed upon award.
