Q9. I have a question regarding this RFP. I am only interested in bidding for servicing zone 56 of area 2. It appears that I am required to also bid for zone 54 and 55 in order to do this. In the past this contract had allowed us to provide a bid for only zone 56. Then I noticed on the pricing spreadsheet that it refers to area 1-6 and not zones as referenced in the RFP. This made me think that the RFP may be incorrect and maybe was intended to allow for contractor's to bid each zone individually based on their interest. It seems highly unlikely that a contractor in western PA would want to service southern WV and vice versa. Please advise.

A9. See Amended Pricing Worksheet, Attachment 3. Areas have been revised to reflect Zones 51-56.

Q10. I am very interested in bidding this contract. The most difficult challenge is with the addition of the required written Quality Control Plan. I don't believe this was included in this contract previously. Can any guidance be given on this as to what might be needed?

A10. The Quality Control Plan is required by the Defense Transportation Regulation – Part IV Personal Property Appendix G. In accordance with PWS paragraph 5(a) the contractor will establish a complete quality control program to assure the requirements of the contract are provided as specified. One copy of the contractor's quality control plan will be provided to the contracting officer as part of the proposal submission (CDRL 0001). For examples of what should be included in a QC plan, see RFP section 2.6.1, sub para ii for examples of what is entailed in a QC Plan.

Q11. Can attachment 2 and the appropriate certifications only the applicable pages be faxed or faxed to your email address?

A11. Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with Attachment 4 – Instructions to Offerors.

All pages of Attachment 2 – RFP Info Sheet are applicable and shall be included with the proposal submission. Proposals shall be marked with all appropriate markings including those prescribed in accordance with FAR 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information and may be faxed to Ms.

Alexandria Garza at 618-256-5724.

Q12. What happened to ORCA?

A12. The Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA) were migrated into the comprehensive System for Award Management (SAM). All entity records from ORCA were moved to SAM.gov.

Q13. Having a hard time navigating Attachment 3.

A13. Attachment 3 – JPPSO Pricing Worksheet has been updated to reflect zones 51-56.
