HSBP1010R0027 DHS Canine Supplies QandA.doc

HSBP1010R0027 Question Response All questions pertaining to HSBP1010R0027 that were received were inquiring as to whether there was a specific list of products for which they were being asked to provide pricing.

The requirements for submitting a proposal begin on page 16 of 30 (page numbers correspond to the numbers at the bottom of each page, not the PDF page count if being read on Adobe) in Section III.5 Additional Instructions to Offerors in the attachment to the SF1449 that was downloaded from FedBizOpps. Vendors are asked to submit a proposal in two parts, as follows:

PART I: Technical Submission (Limited to 20 pages)

Capability

Capacity

Past Performance

Socioeconomic Support

PART II: Pricing Submission (No limit)

Pricing

Shipping and Handling

Additional Incentives Program

The detailed information on each aspect of Part I and Part II are located in pages 16 through 18. Please focus specific attention on the “Capability” portion of the requirement, as this is what deals most heavily with the dog supplies themselves. Vendors are being asked to provide a summary or listing of the dog supplies they offer that will be relevant to DHS’s needs, using the list located in Section IV of the Statement of Work as a guide.

Please be advised that vendors are not being asked to price predetermined items, but rather provide information on the applicable items that their business offers as well as the business itself.
