About this file
This document contains answers to questions from potential offerors regarding solicitation number N3220523R4021 from the Military Sealift Command. The solicitation seeks worldwide fluid analysis services and sampling supplies in support of the agency's Condition Based Monitoring program for machinery onboard Military Sealift Command vessels. Offerors must submit proposals through the Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment by the closing date and time specified in the solicitation. The answers clarify that registration instructions for the system can be found online, and that proposals must include all outbound and inbound shipping costs for transporting sample kits, with different rate structures for shipping within and outside the continental United States. Each sample kit must contain samples and supplies for five separate samples, so offerors should multiply unit prices by five to price one full kit.

NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.
QUESTION #1:
TITLE: Proposal Submission

QUESTION #2:
TITLE: Clarification on the Shipping
We would like to get clarification on the shipping both outbound and inbound to the lab. Does the price need to include the shipping costs or can that be quoted separately. We ask as the shipping is very complicated to price once you leave the continental US.
ANSWER: Yes. Both the outbound and inbound shipping needs to be included with sample kit. The rate sheet is split between Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) to allow for difference in cost for CONUS sample and OCONUS sample
QUESTION #3:
TITLE: Quantities https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/cap/docs/piee/PIEE_Solicitation_Module_Vendor_Access_Instructions.pdf
I would like to confirm that the quantities indicated for the fuel analysis are indeed X5 bottles, cubitainers etc per kit. Therefore for costing, we would multiply the unit price by 5 to price 1 kit.
ANSWER: Section 3.1.6 defines the number of samples required for the kit provided by the vendor. The requirement is for 5 samples to be collected per kit. The number of bottles required to obtain a sample is left up to the vendor to decide as each may require different volumes to perform the analysis.
