ANSWERS TO OFFERORS

QUESTION 1. I got back some info from Fox regarding CLIN 0001 and 0002 specs. All of the specs are correct on the model 500 EXCEPT that it comes with - Two XL bocals: Lengths 2 & 3 ~ Options: XL or XP styles: Lengths 1, 2 and 3.

ANSWER 1. Model 500- Two XL bocals: Lengths 2 & 3 (this is standard and is acceptable).

QUESTION 2. All of the specs are correct on the Model 601 EXCEPT that it also comes with a roller on the Eb and that it no longer comes with hard-shelled case; it comes with a “premium case with both shoulder and backpack straps.”

ANSWER 2. Model 601- premium case is acceptable.

QUESTION 3. Since you want ATA cases for everything, do you want the manufacturer's case as well or are we shipping all the instruments to you in the ATA cases?

ANSWER 3. We do require the manufacturer's case. Instruments can be shipped either in the manufacturer case or the ATA case. Whatever is easier and safer for it to be shipped to us. But both cases should be included with the instrument.

QUESTION 4. I was just informed by my supplier that the Ukulele (CLIN 0010) has been discontinued.

ANSWER 4. Item # 0010 Ukulele Washburn WU5318 will be acceptable.

QUESTION 5. Item # 0009 Banjo Washburn on the 3 months backorder.

ANSWER 5. If there is no way to obtain the item sooner, this would be an acceptable time for CLIN 0009 only.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
