MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Questions and Answers (Q&As) #2 for Request for Quotation (RFQ) No. FA520921Q0033, Household

Goods Packing and Crating Services in Kanagawa

1. A question was received concerning a provision within the subject RFQ from a prospective quoter. See below for the Government’s response.

a. Question: (Ref: RFQ Page 41thru 42, FAR 52.229-11 Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements – Notice and

Representation) Paragraph (b) of this provision states unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specific Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. Also Paragraph (d)(2) states if the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that—I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 either a full exemption, or partial or no exemption. Will claiming on IRS Form W-14 be required?

b. Answer: The Japanese vendors are exempted from the 2 percent tax on the payment. The quoters can select “is” for Paragraph (d)(1) and “a full exemption” for Paragraph (d)(2), and the claiming is not necessary.

2. 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.
