Q&A

Question 1: I have noticed that the first few items are covered by an Installation fee Clin # and I had wanted to ascertain if a vendor provides all parts AND discounts what would be installation fee- whether a bid for APPLIANCE plus PARTS would be considered or not.

I had wanted to clarify whether the Installation CLIN#- for appliances being sent overseas--whether a bid could be "discounted" in price --by providing all parts -- but NOT bidding on the labor / installation?

Answer 1: See page 23. A single firm-fixed price contract will be issued and it is the Government’s intent to award on an “all-or-none” basis to satisfy this requirement.

Question 2: The solicitation states this is 100% set aside for small business. Can you please confirm if Japanese company can bid on this solicitation. We are a small company located in Nagoya.

Answer 2: This requirement is a 100% total small business set aside. In accordance with FAR 19.001a company must be a small business concern

Question 3: According to the solicitation we are to provide pricing to install CLIN 0001 - 0006 but there is no mention on what to do with the remaining items CLIN 0008 - CLIN 0029. What should be done with items CLIN 0008 – CLIN 0029?

Answer 3: Installation is not required for CLIN 0008 – CLIN0029. Delivery only.

Question 4: The descriptions shown in the solicitation of the products being sought are very specific but no manufacturer or model numbers are provided. Is it possible to obtain the manufacturer and model numbers for which the appliance descriptions are drawn from?

Answer 4: The Government cannot provide brand names to quote. Vendors may choose which manufacturer to quote as long as it meets the minimum specifications.

Question5: Please indicate where CLIN 0001 – 0006 are to be installed within the rooms the drawings provided do not identify the installation locations.

Answer 5: Please see page 51.
