• Is the request for only supply and delivery or it is requested the installations in specific buildings?
o The request is for supply and delivery only
• The RFQ refers to direct delivery and assembly. Could the Government please clarify whether “assembly” means basic assembly of the supplied boiler/burner units after delivery, or whether it includes full installation, connection to existing systems, testing, commissioning, or any other site works?
o No assembly required, just a technician to be on site for initial start-up for warranty purposes.
• Please confirm whether the contractor will be responsible for offloading, lifting equipment, internal movement, and placement of the boilers and burners at Aviano Air Base, or whether Government support will be available for these activities.

• Clause 252.229-7003 appears to state that the contract price, including subcontracted supplies and services, should not include taxes from which the U.S.
Government is exempt, including IVA/VAT under Article 72 of Decree Law 633 dated 26 October 1972. Please confirm whether offerors should submit pricing exclusive of Italian IVA/VAT, and whether the invoice should reference the Article 72 exemption and the applicable fiscal code stated in the clause.
o Price submitted should be excluding VAT.
• The RFQ allows pricing in EUR or USD and states a conversion rate of 0.9303. Could the Government please confirm whether this rate will be applied as EUR per USD for evaluation purposes, and whether the same rate will apply to all quotations submitted in EUR or USD?
o This rate will be applied EUR per USD and will apply to all quotations submitted.
• If the requirement involves replacement of existing equipment, would it be possible for the Government to provide photos of the current heating system, boiler room, connection points, and/or any relevant existing site conditions? This would help offerors better understand the actual scope and prepare a more accurate quotation.
o At this time, the Government will not be providing photographs or additional site documentation beyond what is already included in the solicitation. All offerors are required to prepare their quotations based on the information provided in the solicitation package. If additional information becomes available, the Government will issue an amendment to notify all potential offerors.
• Given the need to confirm manufacturer availability, delivery lead time, local assembly scope, VAT treatment, and subcontractor documentation, we respectfully request an extension of the quotation submission deadline from 23 June 2026 to 1 July 2026, or alternatively to at least five business days after the Government issues responses to clarification questions.
o Under the timeline requirements, no solicitation extension is anticipated.
