DAFL MULTI-TYPE BOOK POINT PLAN Q&A
1.) Please advise the total number of base libraries. The solicitation states the point plan must support 75 base libraries however the product characteristics state books will be shipped to 115 libraries.
Number of libraries shipped to is 75 and not 115
2.) Please specify the annual budget for all libraries. We are unable to disclose this information
3.) Can the lot requirement be defined or could you provide the points/month? Approximately 12,100 point per month 4.) Could you kindly clarify whether we should base our pricing on a catalog discount or on the services provided within the book plan? Additionally, it's worth noting that pricing for each book or format may vary across different publishers. Furthermore, both bulk orders and single unit orders may entail varying discount rates.
We understand that pricing varies by format and publishers. DAF is wanting a purchase point plan. Vendors have to determine their pricing schedule based on their business model.
Libraries will be using the purchase point plan for books in a variety of formats throughout the contract year. This point plan is for one account with up to 75 sub accounts. The libraries in the sub accounts will each be using their allocated points throughout the contract year to update their library collections to meet customer needs.
5.) Could you please tell me what other information is needed to submit the quote for Notice ID FA805224PRE05A besides the PRICING SCHEDULE B?
A capability statement from your company or a brief description of how your company can meet the product description would be helpful. Thank you!
