About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file related to a solicitation for establishing Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for Hand-Carried Aircrew Radiation Detectors (H-CARDs) and Check Source kits. The solicitation, FA6800-24-Q-0003, is seeking price lists from vendors to competitively award multiple BPAs. The BPAs will facilitate future orders of these products in a more efficient and streamlined manner, as the Government has a recurring need to purchase these items from FY24-27.
The Q&A provides details on the BPA structure, the Government's intent to award multiple BPAs, and the requirement for vendors to submit pricing for all requested locations. Vendors are only required to submit the completed solicitation questions and price list, not the full 5-page solicitation document. This is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside acquisition under NAICS code 334519, with a size standard of 600 employees. The previous contract for these products was FA680023P0004.

Sheet1
| Number | Question | Response |
| 1 | Is this a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services? | This solicitation is for a new requirement to establish competitively priced Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with multiple vendors capable of providing the requested products. FA680024Q0003 is simply asking for price lists from vendors so we can establish BPAs. No monetary award will come from FA680024Q0003. The BPAs will facilitate future orders for these products in a more efficient/timely manner. |
| 2 | If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? | These products were previously purchased by our office under contract FA680023P0004. |
| 3 | We absolutely want to work with you on establishing these BPA’s. I am unfamiliar with BPA’s so we would like more information on what is entailed in a Blanket Purchase Agreement. | A BPA is an agreement between a buyer and seller that essentially works out all the terms, conditions, and pricing ahead of time, so that when items or services are needed the process of actually placing said order is streamlined. AFGSC has a need to purchase the H-CARDs and Check Source kits for this fiscal year and for each fiscal year through FY27. Instead of going through the entire solicitation, evaluation, and award every single time, we do it once on the front end to setup a no-cost BPA with all the terms, conditions, and pricing laid out. It acts as a shell for us to place expedited orders in the future using the pre-established terms and pricing. The request on sam.gov, FA6800-24-Q-0003, is simply requesting a price list for the items to help establish the BPA. Our intent is to competitively establish multiple BPAs with a handful of vendors, then use those vendors BPAs when the needs to purchase arise from FY24-27. We just need attachment 1 to the RFQ completed with pricing and returned to me. This will establish the price for delivering an H-CARD and a Check Source kit to each of the locations. Future orders will determine quantities purchased and where using the established price list. Additionally, vendors will be provided an opportunity to update their price list at least annually. |
| 4 | Is the offeror required to fill out the entire price sheet? Or is it acceptable for the offeror to submit a price plus shipping for only the base address of interest out of the 90+ base addresses? | It is the Government's intent to establish BPAs with price lists available for all requested locations. |
| 5 | Please confirm the exact documents the offeror is required to submit. Should I provide both the five-page solicitation and the completed price list? | Offeror's should complete the solicitation questions and the price list for each requested location. |
