Response to Questions

FA7000-16-T-0075

1. Question: Is there a delivery schedule or do you want all the items delivered at once?

Answer: Please refer to the clause at FAR 52.211-8, Alt I in the solicitation showing the manufacturing lead-time. There will be an initial large delivery order and fill-in orders throughout each year of the contract. The initial delivery order will not be for the full estimated quantity.

2. Question: For the government material for the uniforms, do we pay for that upfront?

Answer: No.

3. Question: How do we pay for the items, is it sold on credit? Could you please elaborate on this process.

Answer: The Government will order the government furnished material (GFM) through the Defense Supply Center, Philadelphia (DSCP) and send it to the contractor's manufacturing facility. The solicitation says it will take up to 30 days to receive the material; however, historically the lead-time has been much shorter.

4. Question: What is the current contract number and contract value?

Answer: The current contract is FA7000-12-D-0001 and current estimated contract value is $3,429,205.00.

5. Question: Is the current contract value for the initial award based on the initial solicitation? Or is it with all the additional orders you procured under contract above stated quantity needs for the term?

Answer: The estimated contract value stated above is for a base contract with four option years.

6. Question: When doing the line items pricing there is Qty then unit price then estimated amount.

For the estimated net amount what does that comprise? Are you allowing for freight? Or do you expect just the total there again?

The unit price is a firm fixed price. The quanties listed are estimated quantites. The unit price should include any applicable shipping charges; there is no separate contract line item (CLIN) for shipping costs.

7. Question: On page 43 of the solicitation, are you expecting us to put # of days in there now or does that get left blank?

The instructions in the 52.211-8 clause state that offerors can either choose to propose an alternative delivery schedule by filling in the information in page 43 or leave the information blank, indicating the required delivery schedule will apply. If the offeror proposes a delivery schedule greater than the Government’s requirements, that offer will be considered non-responsive and rejected.

8. Question: On page 69 of the solicitaiton, if all end products are U.S do we just put lines through these origin boxes and write NONE or leave blank? Same question for pages 70 & 71?

Answer: Page 69 on the solicitation references FAR 52.225-1, Buy American-Supplies, which is included under the provision, FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items. Per the instructions under FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors (page 58), the provision at DFARS 252.225-7000, Buy American-Balance of Payments Program Certificate applies to this acquisition, (i.e., this a DoD acquisition, so the DFARS provision applies to the acquisition, not the FAR provision). Therefore, only the information on page 80 needs to be completed. If any line items are qualifying country end products or other foreign end products, indicate so under paragraph (2) and/or (3).

9. Questions: What is the current awarded vendors CAGE code?

Answer: We cannot release that information, but can provide the current contractor’s company name: Hanover Uniform Company.

10. Question: Are we suppose to just treat the fabric cost as if we bought it and give you a total price? Or just price sewing and trims, etc.?

Answer: The Government Furnished Material (GFM) as described in the solicitaiton is not purchased by the contractor. The Government orders the GFM and ships it to the contractor’s place of manufacturing. Therefore, the price quoted should not incorporate the cost of the GFM.
