MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: FA4861-14-R-B051, Response to Questions #2

The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a response to questions submitted after the suspense set for questions by the incorporated Notice of Pre-bid/Pre-proposal Conference provision.

The questions are listed (except for minor edits to achieve non-attribution) exactly as submitted.

Responses do not qualify or change the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

Question: I noticed the 52.208-9 clause was added for supplies. This requires the use of NISH or NIB products and WILL add significant cost to the supply section of the contract. This would also mean that the dispensers we already installed base wide would have to be replaced!

Answer: The items that the contractor needs to procure from specific NISH or NIB sources are those available from the Procurement List maintained by the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled that are destinated for the Government use (i.e. Stock Restroom Supplies at paragraph 1.23 of the performance work statement). All other items required can be purchased from sources at the contractor’s discretion. Equipment replacement is not required to ensure products from NISH/NIB vendors can be used.
