ANSWER: Yes, submit pricing for Mississippi only as annotated in the Attachment 3 and Attachment 4 ELIN price submission spreadsheets. Other locations, if and when required, shall be negotiated at the task order level.

9. QUESTION:

Is there a difference between ELIN A001 on Attachment 3 and ELIN A001 on Attachment 4?

These look to be identical.

ANSWER:

The total evaluated price will be calculated from the Attachment 3 – ELIN Table, which provides COI prices that will be firm-fixed price at the Basic contract level.

Attachment 4 – ELIN Table represents just those COIs that will be ordered on Task Order 0001 (2 COIs under ELIN A001).

Attachments 3 and 4: Do you want a summary of the unit price only or are you looking for a breakout of line items?
