MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Questions and Answers (Q&As) for Request for Quotation (RFQ) No. FA520921Q0033, Household

Goods Packing and Crating Services in Kanagawa

1. By the required due date and time of 1 Jun 2021, 1400 hours, we received one written question, and we hereby provide a response and associated information.

a. Question: (Ref: Pricing Schedule, Schedule II, Item A/B/C029AE, Customers Clearance)

It is difficult for us to quote the prices for customs clearance because the prices vary depending on the types and numbers of the trucks and freights. Will you be able provide any historical data associated with this customs clearance?

b. Answer: We revisited these items, and concluded it is more appropriate to have the Contractor to bill as a separate charge each time clear customs are necessary when shipments become frustrated. We do not anticipate clear customs will occur often. Therefore, we revised the Pricing Schedule to change Item A/B/C029AE to indicate “TBD” by Amendment 0002, so the quoters are not required to provide the unit prices up front.

2. It is also recommended the prospective quoters to refer to the minutes of the pre-proposal conference again.

This document includes Q&As in Paragraph 5.

3. Please note that Amendment 0002 has extended the Closing Date from 14 Jun 2021 to 21 Jun 2021. This is because we are going to change terms & conditions of the solicitation in the next amendment (0003), and we need internal coordination to receive clearance for the revision.

4. If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Mr. Ken Sato at 042-552-3010 or DSN 225-7663 or email at ken.sato.jp@us.af.mil or Capt. Jinny Shen at 042-552-5431 or DSN 225-5431 or email at jinny.shen.1@us.af.mil.
