Prescribed by GSA

FAR(48 CFR) 53.243

This modification for FN1408-15 for Powder Paint at various UNICOR factory locations is hereby being modified to answer the following questions:

Q: Who exercises the option years; the vendor or vendee?

A: The Government exercises the option year.

Q: What is the “material declaration form” referenced on page 16?

A: The Material Declaration Form is attached to solicitation MT1408-15 on www.fbo.gov As part of the material declaration form are instructions, definitions and an example for your reference.

Q: In reading the entire solicitation, I noticed there were 2 different closing dates listed on page 15 (September 18th) and page 16 (September 10th). Which would be the required date to submit a final proposal?

A: in accordance with modification the new closing date for this requirement will be Changed from September 18, 2015 at 2:00 pm EST to October 2, 2015 at 2:00 pm EST.

Q: It sounds like based on evaluation of each proposal received, more than 1 vendor can be selected to supply the powders? Would multiple vendors supply powder within an award lot?

A: There will only be one successful vendor awarded per lot.

Q: Do we need to match and receive approval on all 42 color matches before issuing a quotation on all award lots or can we issue a quote and if our proposal is competitive, we can then proceed with the matching process? As you can imagine, processing 42 colors matches requires a fair amount of resources.

A: UNICOR colors were sent out for color matching by interested offerors who requested samples. These colors are the only colors to be matched at this time. Samples and proposals will be evaluated, and offerors considered to be in the competitive range who submitted their proposals and samples on time will be requested to match other various colors listed in the solicitation and will be required to provide product for testing in the three UNICOR factories listed as part of this solicitation.

Q: What are the credit terms of this solicitation? I see that it will be paid by ACH but I don’t see your credit terms.

A: UNICOR payment terms are N30.

Q: We need to know if we have the flexibility / option to mfg. some of your powder in Mexico then ship it and stock in USA to be released as needed?

A: All offerors are required to specify the country of origin of your companies products on the material declaration form. There is no restriction to your product being manufactured in Mexico for this requirement.

Q: Please forward last prices paid. Was the last contract also to a small business?

A: :Last awarded contract was to a small business. Below are awarded contract prices from March 2010.

El Reno OK

Milan MI

Terminal Island

Q: To confirm what is required to be turned in for the solicitation package on the closing date?

A: All required information that must be sent by closing date and time are listed in Section B of the solicitation.

The closing date for Solicitation MT1408-15 is hereby extended from Friday September 18, 2015 at 2:00 pm EST until Friday, October 2, 2015 at 2:00 pm EST.
