FA441919RA003

COCESS – ALTUS AFB, OK

1. Is this operation currently under contract? To whom? – There is no current contract in place at this time.

2. What is the current contract value? – There is no current contract in place at this time.

3. How many personnel does the contractor employ to operate the store? – There is no current contract in place at this time.

4. As stated, this is a fixed price contract. The Schedule B only provides for an annual contract price. Therefore:

a. How does the contractor get reimbursed for his labor, overhead expenses? All pricing and discounts/increased percentages are to be fully burdened (includes labor, equipment costs, supply costs, shipping costs, overhead and profit). We understand if you cannot give a “discount” and must use percentages over 100% to cover your costs. However, this MUST be reflected in your bid submissions.

b. If the bidder has to show discount for parts prices, how do they include G&A and fee for the sale of inventory? The vendor is not required to provide a discount percentage and may use an increased percentage if required to meet their fully burdened pricing. All pricing MUST be fully burdened (includes labor, equipment costs, supply costs, shipping costs, overhead and profit). The contract does not allow for any additional pricing except for APPROVED emergency shipping – which must be agreed upon PRIOR to order being placed.

c. Does the Government expect to reimburse the contractor solely on the basis of inventory sales? If so, isn’t that a cost plus contract? The Government will only be paying for parts – no mark up and no overhead. There is no “cost plus”. Items subject to the “pricing discount” are any available parts that can be purchased through the listed vendors for the Attachment Y “Database Pricing Discount

Table”.

The SPI Bid Schedule (Attachment B) is not included in the “pricing discount” from Attachment Y (discount items). The bid price for these items must be fully burdened (includes labor, equipment costs, supply costs, shipping costs, overhead and profit). Items that can be purchased using the discount pricing (Attachment

Y) may be added to the SPI list after contract award with the firm fixed pricing for each year (also fully burdened). Once an item is on the SPI list, any discount pricing (from Attachment K) NO longer applies.
