SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATION

1. Are there any other technical drawings available for either the B-4 or the garment bag? For example, in the luggage and sewing industry, patterns of individual fabric components are common; are such patterns available?

There are no other technical drawings available. The purchase descriptions in attachments 1 and 2 list the salient characteristics, materials, and workmanship required for these items.

2. Are finished B-4 or garment bags available for our physical inspection to most accurately determine the product you are looking for?

If the contractor that wins the award has not previously made the bags, we can provide a sample of each bag upon request.

3. If no other technical specifications are available, how do we determine the features of each bag that are not shown in the drawings that came with the RFQ?

The features of each bag are outlined in each specification provided. The bags must meet the minimum salient characteristics (materials and workmanship) as described in the specifications.

4. Is a faster delivery time (faster than 120 days ARO) considered an advantage in awarding the contract?

No, faster delivery time is not an evaluation factor. However, based on the clause at 52.211-8, Alt II, if you can deliver faster than 120 days you can fill in the clause indicating that and if awarded the contract we would use that delivery schedule in the contract.

5. Who currently manufactures these bags?

New Jersey Headwear

6. When is the deadline for submitting additional questions about this RFQ?

Under addendum to FAR 52.212-1 (page 33 of solicitation), requests for clarification and information concerning the solicitation must be provided in writing no later than 5 days prior to closing (13 April 2016).

7. The date on attachment 6 (Request for Past Performance Evaluation) requests the past performance POC to submit responses to you and/or Ms. Myles-South by 6 April 2016. Should that deadline actually be 18 April 2016?

Yes, the deadline is 18 April 2016 and will be updated with an amendment.

8. Is there any possibility of pushing the RFQ response deadline back in order to allow for longer preparation time of high quality quotes? One week is a very fast turnaround for a contract of this size, especially for a small business like ours.

We currently do not have plans to extend the closing date.

FA7000-16-T-0022

9. Will the government provide a bill of materials for the production of each bag?

No.

10. That will the guidance from the government be if a vendor is unable to procure a particular component of one of the bags?

Through our market research, we have determined that there are materials available in the marketplace that are in compliance with the Berry Amendment. Any contractor that submits a quote should ensure they are able to perform in accordance with the specifications listed in the solicitation provisions and clauses and the attached purchase descriptions.
