QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions and Answers 26 September 2017

The Government requires new, unused equipment for this requirement.

1) Does Trade Agreement Act apply to this requirement - 252.225-7021?

Answer: DFARS 252.225-7021 does not apply. This acquisition is set aside for small businesses (reference FAR 25.401 (a)(1)), therefore FAR 52.225-5 - Buy American Act is applicable as applied (reference FAR 52.212-5).

2) Does 252.247-7023 Transportation of Supplies By Sea apply?

Answer: DFARS 252.247-7023 is applicable as included herein.

3) Does your customer require a specific brand of refrigeration equipment? Carrier and Thermoking are the most widely used in the industry.

Answer: No

4) Standard refrigeration units are equipped with 440v/3phase electrical. Will your customer require any special add-ons (i.e. dual voltage transformer)?

Answer: Yes, dual voltage transformers are needed for each refrigerated container and must be able to handle both 460V and 230V.
