Please confirm this means the offeror should provide BOEs for Sample Tasks

(CLINs 1000 &

1002), not to exceed 100 pages in total.

A BOE is required in response to all five

Sample

Tasks. The

Please confirm the offeror should not provide BOEs for any CLINs other than 1000 &

The BOE submittal requirement applies to the Sample

Tasks, not the CLINs.

However, CLINs 1000 and 1002 are the only

CLINs associated with the sample task that include labor. Thus, it is reasonable that the

BOEs will focus on these

CLINs.

The term

“component system level tests” is ambiguous. Is the 72-hour confidence test required for all components in each production kit, unit and spare?

Solicitation states “The minimum guarantee for the resulting contract is

This number was modified by RFP

Amendment 3 to read $350,000.

$10,000.

The minimum guarantee represents the minimum amount that the government would pay under the resulting

52.216-19 sets forth individual delivery/task order limitations;

in this case, the

Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the

Contractor obligated to furnish, supplies or services under the contract when the value of the order is less than

$10,000.

The minimum guarantee is at the total contract level, while

52.216-19 addresses minimum and maximum order limitations.
