QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

(Base Linen Services Solicitation) FA4803-15-R-0001

1. Who is the incumbent? Sundance Cleaners Inc.

2. Does the contractor supply linens? The Government furnish the items to be cleaned.

3. What is the current value of the total contract? Aggregate total amount is $706,996.00 (Base with 4 option periods).

4. If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the government? This is not a new Government requirement; The incumbent contract number is FA4803-10-C-0003

5. My question concerns the bidding process of the Lot CLINS. CLIN 0001 is per pound. You bid on the price per pound and then multiply that number by the estimated quantity. That gives you the total net amount. Each CLINS work the same way. However, there are three CLINS on solicitation that use the LOT quanity of one. I want to make sure that I fully understand how to bid on these.

For example, CLIN 0005 has a list of 11 items (gloves, jacket, etc) that we are suppose to set our price on. To make the math simple, let's just say we bid $1 for each item. That would be a total of $11. If you mulitiply that number by 1, then the total net amount on that CLIN is only $11. Is that correct and how would the funding be there when company cleans a lot more that one pair of gloves?

Answer: CLINS 0005, 0007 & 0008 unit of issue is displayed by Lot, however the description below allows you to specify the individual unit cost. Put the total of your individual unit costs as the unit price. See example below ($18.00 will be your total unit price).
