Question 13: Volume III requires the contractor to submit fourteen items and if not provided it would be considered “non-responsive” and thus nt able to receive an award. The Government’s Item #2 requests a “Navy BPA Number & GSA Contract Number”. But the Solicitation does not state anywhere that the solicitation is being procured under any specific Navy BPA or GSA contract. If the Prime Contractor does not have a Navy BPA or GSA contract number of its own is it disqualified from bidding as a Prime Contractor?

Answer: Item #2 of Volume III was deleted.
