The solicitation seeks 140 extinguishers containing 150 pounds of Novec 1230, a halon alternative, to be delivered by October 1, 2020. Interested vendors should submit quotes to two Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces employees by the solicitation deadline.

Amendment #2 – Questions and Answers
Question 1: My first question is, can any of the funds be advanced prior to purchase? I read within the FAR that something called process payments could be issued for up to 80%on the total bid upfront. Or can the amount be financed or something similar? I really hope that I don't confuse you with this one.
Answer: Progress payment are more suitable for construction contracts where work is ongoing and the costs incurred by the contractor for labor and materials are excessive. A single payment for equipment purchased via a supply contract usually isn’t made until all goods have been delivered. However, the government can consider factors when presented by contractors that warrant multiple payments for supplies. The contract award can be structured to allow multiple payments, if necessary. There will not be any advances or financing for this contract.
Question 2: The second question was, is the a comparative margin? Is there an amount that the bid amount cannot exceed for the solicitation? I just want to ensure that my bid costs stays under the allowed amount for the bid.
Answer: FAR Part 36 only requires a disclosure of the magnitude of construction projects. That disclosure is not necessary when purchasing commercial items. Competitive and fair pricing will be determined by the government based on market research, historical data, etc.
