| 1 | Section 1 General: “The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) National Accreditation Board (ANAB) / International Accreditation Forum (IAF) ISO 17021 certified third-party registrar will hereafter be referred to as the Contractor.” The IAF is an organization comprised of Accreditation Bodies including ANAB and the International Accreditation Service (IAS). The language as stated in the PWS is inaccurate and is overly restrictive. The correct language as stated in numerous other US military solicitations for the same services is “The Offeror shall be accredited to ISO 17021 by an Accreditation Body (AB) which is a member of the IAF with a scope of membership that includes management system certification. The Offeror’s Certificate of Accreditation must be provided in its technical proposal and must include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 in its scope of accreditation.” There should be no specific reference to ANAB in the PWS. | Not a question, but rather an opinion.

| 2 | Section 1.6.14 Special Qualifications: “c. Although not required, a bachelor’s degree, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification, and familiarity with the MCSF-BI/BICmd mission is preferred.” Lean Six Sigma is not related to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or ISO 45001. Familiarity with the MCSF BI/BICmd mission is something gained by the incumbent, Orion, and is there prejudicial and stifles fair and open competition. | Not required indicates this isn't a requirement. Anyone could get familiarity with the BICmd/MCSF-BI mission by reviewing the command's website and or with basic research on the internet. | Section 1.6.14 Special Qualifications: | D. Rosenberg | ||

| 5 | The Risk/Complexity category for ISO 14001 is stated as Special Cases. As stated in IAF MD 5, “Special–these require additional and unique consideration at the audit planning stage.” To ensure fair and open competition, all offerors must be provided with more information on how this classification was determined and what specific environmental issues are present to make this determination. The current CB, Orion, possesses this information. | MCSF-BI stores large quantities of hazardous material. The installation is also a Large Quantity Generator. As such within "Special Cases" is the category "storage of large quantities of hazardous material." | Section 1.2 background MCSF-BI’s ISO 14001 scope | M. Erhardt | ||
