MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

FROM: Joseph Trevino - Contracting Officer

SUBJECT: Solicitation FA706025Q0008 – Questions & Answers

Question: Are you looking for one price over the 4 years or can we submit the pricing sheet with price increases per year as Massif will increase their price each year?

Government Response: The pricing can include price increases over each year for the duration of the contract but the submitted pricing shall remain the same over the life of the contract.

Question: Do you need any customization on the Jackets?

Government Response: Customization is not required.

Question: How many Massif Jackets do you require for the solicitation?

Government Response: As we are currently trying to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), the sizes and quantities needed for each order under the BPA are unknown at this time.

These quantities will not be known until an order is submitted by the customer.

Question: For the fabric, would you prefer the branded Massif® fabric, or would a similar fabric with equivalent characteristics suffice?

Government Response: Branded Massif is preferred but similar fabrics are acceptable.

Question: If awarded, would there be an option to have a yearly pricing update? Or does the price (per each) have to hold throughout the 5 years of the BPA?

Government Response: As a “firm-fixed priced” BPA, the pricing throughout the life of the contract would remain the same.

Question: Upon reviewing the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for this contract, I noticed that it mentions the Description of Requirements for the items to be acquired is to be found in the attached Statement of Work. However, the description appears to be missing from the attached document.

Could you kindly provide clarification or direct me to the correct document containing the Description of Requirements for the MASSIF Jackets? Your assistance in addressing this matter would be greatly appreciated.
