QUESTION 3: If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the Government.

QUESTION 4: Could you please explain the contingency you anticipate where 1,665,825 laundered items would have to be held and stored at Contractor’s facility?

ANSWER: Reference Attachment 2-Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors, Section 2. Quotation Preparation Instructions, Paragraph D. Specific Instructions, Subfactor (a) Plan of Action: “Of particular interest in this Plan of Action is the offeror’s approach to storing as many as 1,665,825 laundered items at the Contractor’s facility while awaiting return delivery to the Laundry Pick-Up and Delivery Service Point on Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Lackland AFB and Randolph AFB.

This is an anticipated workload amount over the entire one year period as a cumulative total of 1,665,825 articles and not to be held at the contractor’s facility all at one time. There is a two-day turnaround time which means the workload estimate of articles stored at the contractor’s facility at one time is estimated between 15,000 to 20,000 articles.

QUESTION 5: Attachment 2 Part 1 Technical Acceptability; refers to storing 1,665,825 pieces while awaiting delivery. This quantity is the estimate for all items over the entire year. A 2-day turn around is specified in the Solicitation. Would the actual quantity that could be stored at the contractor’s facility while awaiting delivery be in the range of 15,000 to 40,000 pieces?

ANSWER: Refer to the answer to Question 4 above.
