SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 21-Nov-2016 03:00 PM to 29-Nov-2016 10:00 AM.

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

Q & A 1 THROUGH 7

QUESTION 1 - Page 6 Section 4, System Requirements. Web-based functions in part or total require Marine Corps Enterprise Network – NIPRnet (MCEN-N) access and compliance throughout the life of the system.

Compliance must be completed by full operational capability. Is it a requirement that the vendor must have MCEN- N certification? Or can the reporting system be web based application that the Marines can access using their own internet?

ANSWER 1 - Web-based functions shall be accessible and fully functional via the Marine Corps Enterprise Network – NIPRnet (MCEN-N). Reporting system may be a web based system accessed via the internet. Proposed solution shall be accessible via NIPRnet (MCEN-N) and compliant throughout the life of the system. Compliance must be completed by full operational capability.

QUESTION 2 – Page 6 Section 5.1, Calculate postage (by weight multiplied by dimensions or by utilization of an integrated scale). Is the Marine Corps referring to packages or letters? Is the Marine Corps referring to weight calculation using the scale?

ANSWER 2 - Solution shall calculate postage for both letters and packages. Postage shall be calculated by weight multiplied by dimensions or by utilization of an integrated scale.

QUESTION 3 - Page 7 Section 6, Is it a requirement that the system allow the program manager the ability to add postage to all existing meters? How will the Marines provide postage to the meters? Also can you clarify what capturing postage debits is referring to?

ANSWER 3 - The program manager should have the ability but it’s not mandatory. The individual sites should be able to add postage (up to an amount determined and controlled by the PM) to the meters. Postage funding will be provided by the Government via an EFT transfer via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). Capturing debits means the Government needs to see cost, type of postage and where items are going.

QUESTION 4 – Page 10 Section 11.1, Contract Termination. If this contract is terminated, the vendor shall be responsible for coordinating removal of those systems with government personnel. Please clarify that if the contract is cancelled that the Marines will pay the remaining balance of the contract.

ANSWER 4 - If the contract is terminated for the convenience of the Government, reasonable termination costs will be negotiated between the Government and the vendor. If an option year is not exercised, the Government will not buy out the remainder of the contract (i.e. lease) as per the addenda to FAR 52.212-4, para A.1. on page 14 of the solicitation.

Ability to cap postage downloads monthly or quarterly; Can the Marines verify that the vendor can supply a web based system to provide the reporting being required? Also, is it a requirement that the vendor allow the program manager the ability to set postage for all locations?

ANSWER 5 - Yes, see response to Question 1 above regarding internet usage. Yes.

QUESTION 6 – Page 12 Section 16, System must be able to automatically fold and stuff envelopes. Does the specification require a folding and inserting machine? If so can you provide the system requirements?

ANSWER 6 - This specification has been removed; please see amendment 0001posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website.

QUESTION 7 – Page 12 Section 16, 1. Compatibility with analog phone line and digital phone system. Will the Marines provide internet access or only dial up modem?
