Questions and Answers to Solicitation #HQ0516-16-T-0003

1. Does the facility in Fort Meade, MD has a loading dock for deliveries? Will a lift gate be required for deliveries? Will you accept partial shipments/deliveries?

Yes DINFOS has a loading dock. It is located in the logistics area. When the selected vendor ships the requested materials, they people who bring the materials to DINFOS usually know where to bring them. We are also willing to accept partial shipments, although we have been waiting on these materials since January.

2. In the modification, you have requested that we replace CLIN 007 with ISBN number 978-0073378855. We were informed by the publisher that: “Media Writer’s Handbook.”The newly requested ISBN, 9780073378855, is the ISBN for the older edition published in 2008. It is out of print and no longer available.

I would not be able to get that older edition, but I confirmed that I’m still able to get the newer edition, published in 2012 that was included with the original quote.

My question is, since this version is out of print – can we quote the newer version? Or if we can locate slightly used copies of the older version can we submit a quote for the used copies?

The newer or older edition is fine; whichever version is readily available and the vendor would be able to ship the soonest.
