Solicitation Questions and Responses

1. In section 10.3 FAR PROVISION IN FULL TEXT: Our company is registered on ORCA. The paragraph in the solicitation just below 52.212-3 states that we need only complete paragraph (b) of this provision. I don’t see paragraph (b) listed in the solicitation. Can you send this to me?

Response: The reference is to paragraph (b) of the provision No 52.212-3. I have pasted the text below:

b)(1) Annual Representations and Certifications. Any changes provided by the offeror in paragraph (b)(2) of this provision do not automatically change the representations and certifications posted on the SAM website.

(2) The offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically via the SAM website accessed through http://www.acquisition.gov. After reviewing the SAM database information, the offeror verifies by submission of this offer that the representations and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items, have been entered or updated in the last 12 months, are current, accurate, complete, and applicable to this solicitation (including the business size standard applicable to the NAICS code referenced for this solicitation), as of the date of this offer and are incorporated in this offer by reference (see FAR 4.1201), except for paragraphs ______________.

[Offeror to identify the applicable paragraphs at (c) through (q) of this provision that the offeror has completed for the purposes of this solicitation only, if any.

These amended representation(s) and/or certification(s) are also incorporated in this offer and are current, accurate, and complete as of the date of this offer.

Any changes provided by the offeror are applicable to this solicitation only, and do not result in an update to the representations and certifications posted electronically on SAM.]

2. In section 10.4 STANDARDIZED QUOTE FORMAT: Our company is registered in SAM under NAICS code 334516. What kind of statement do you need? Can you send me an example of what you need?

Response: There is no standardized format; a simple statement embedded in the cover page of the quote should be suffice.

3. Can you please verify the addresses below and confirm that I have them correct?

Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) 5630 Fishers Lane Rockville, MD 20857

Food and Drug Administration Attn Vendor Payments 10903 New Hampshire Ave Bldg 32, Rm, # 2162, Mail Hub 2145 Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002

Response: I can confirm the delivery and invoice addresses. As for as the invoices are concerned, they should be submitted electronically to: OFS/PaymentServices@fda.hhs.gov upon acceptance of the system by the COR. The contract office address mentioned seems to be the office address to me; I’m not sure of the significance of this address verification.

4. When I respond to this Solicitation, can I send you an email with links to our marketing literature, or do you need an email with all of the attachments? The reason I ask, is that our literature, which we would like to include, is a lot of data for an attachment. Please let me know.

Response: Sure. That’s fine.
