Amendment 0001 – Vendor Q&A Solicitation Number: HFP-2025-127075
Subject: Amendment 0001 – Questions and Answers from Interested Vendor
The following questions were submitted in response to Solicitation HFP-2025-127075 – O- PTIR-R-FL Microscope. In accordance with FAR requirements and to ensure fairness, these questions and corresponding government responses are being provided to all potential offerors.
• Question: Is the September 30, 2025 delivery date flexible?
Answer: Yes, A lead time of 20 weeks after award is acceptable.
• Question: Is it acceptable for delivery to occur by that date, with installation and invoicing occurring afterward? Or must delivery, installation, and invoicing all be completed by September 30, 2025?
Answer: A lead time of 20 weeks after award for delivery and installation is acceptable.
Invoicing does not have to occur during the 20 week lead time.
• Question: In the Statement of Work, it states: “The use of a mIRage-LS O-PTIR-R-FL microscope, or equal provides capabilities for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of micro- (1 µm - 5 mm) or nano- (1 nm - 1 µm) plastics, or other contaminants, in foods.” The vendor would like to confirm whether this is a general classification or a performance requirement.
Answer: The sentence describes the general classification range of nano-plastics in the 'Background' section of the Statement of Work. It is not intended to be a specific performance requirement. The required specifications for the instrument (e.g., sub-micron spatial resolution) are provided in the 'Requirements' section of the Statement of Work. Therefore, no amendment to this language is necessary.
