About this file
This is a Solicitation Questions and Answers (Q&A) Log for RFQ HTC71126QE118 concerning Bremerhaven Tallying and Checking (T&C) Services & Related Technical Services (S&RTS), updated on February 11, 2026.
The document contains two prospective vendor questions with corresponding government responses. Question 1, received February 11, 2026, addressed whether offerors must include applicable port tariffs in their price quotations for the T&C contract. The government responded on February 12, 2026, clarifying that quoters do not need to factor port tariffs into their pricing and directed vendors to updated PWS Paragraph 4.5 regarding commodity rates. This response resulted in an amendment to the RFQ. Question 2, received February 24, 2026, sought confirmation that all contract work must be performed using local Bremerhaven access permissions and work authorizations (Hafenarbeitskarte) in compliance with local collective bargaining agreements referenced in PWS citation 4.1.2. The government responded on February 25, 2026, confirming that all work at BLG terminals requires local access permits and work authorization for all labor, with strict compliance to operational, legal, and tariff regulations, local labor standards, and safety requirements. This response did not result in an RFQ amendment.

QUESTION
DATE
RECEIVED
PROSPECTIVE VENDOR'S QUESTION DATE OF REPLY GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE AMEND RFQ?
1 11-Feb-26
Can you please confirm whether the offeror is indeed required to add the applicable port tariffs in the pricing? My understanding is that this is something that is probably already included in the current S&RTS contract (HTC71121DR007) of Bremerhaven, therefore we would appreciate your confirmation whether this should be factored in the T&C contract (HTC71126QE118).
12-Feb-26 Quoters do not need to factor Port Tariffs in their price quotation.
Please see updated PWS Paragraph 4.5 for further clarifications regarding Commodity Rates.
Yes
24-Feb-26
Please confirm that all work under this contract should be implemented by using the local Bremerhaven access permission and work authorization to operate on the BLG terminal (Hafenarbeitskarte) for all labor in accordance with the local Bremerhaven collective bargaining agreement outlined in the PWS citation 4.1.2?
25-Feb-26
Yes, based on general regulations and standard practice at the Port of Bremerhaven, all work at the BLG terminals require a local access permit and work authorization (Hafenarbeitskarte) for all labor. Access to this terminal is strictly regulated and subject to compliance with all operational and legal requirements, including tariff regulations. This ensures compliance with local labor and safety standards.
