Q: Given the ongoing federal procurement regulations and latest executive orders from the Biden administration’s "buy American plan" initiative; are products sourced from China acceptable to bid? Are there other countries that product can’t be sourced from?

A: Per FAR clause 52.225-5 as listed in the solicitation (see below), the vendor must certify that all items will be US-made or designated country end product. If the vendor offers items that do not meet this requirement, the vendor must list each item separately as “Other End Products”, listing the item number and the country of origin for those parts.

“(5) Trade Agreements Certificate. (Applies only if the clause at FAR 52.225-5, Trade Agreements, is included in this solicitation.) (i) The offeror certifies that each end product, except those listed in paragraph (g)(5)(ii) of this provision, is a U.S.-made or designated country end product, as defined in the clause of this solicitation entitled "Trade Agreements." (ii) The offeror shall list as other end products those end products that are not U.S.-made or designated country end products.

A: Please provide all pricing on the attached spreadsheet. Once pricing is offered there is no other information required in section B. If the vendor is offering additional products not listed on the spreadsheet, the vendor may add as many additional tabs to the spreadsheet as needed to accommodate additional offerings.

Q: Page 4 states the NAICS code associated with this solicitation is 339999 – company size is 500 employees. Is there a company size limitation for companies responding to solicitation?
