The purpose of Amendment 0002 is to correct an administrative error in Amendment 0001 and to extend the closing date and time from 2:00 PM EST 20 June 2019 to 2:00 PM EST 01 July 2019.
Amendment 0001
The purpose of this amendment is to:
1. Extend the closing date and time from 2:00 PM EST 20 June 2019 to 2:00 PM EST 01 July 2019.
2. Address industry questions and provide Government responses
QUESTION 1: Do we have to sign and return the cover sheet of the "Solicitation/Contract/Order For Commercial Items"?
ANSWER 1: The contractor is required the solicitation and all associated amendments in accordance with block 28 of the solicitation.
QUESTION 2: With regard to the requirement for a sample Prior Art Search Report, I assume that what is required is a copy of an actual prior art search report that we have done. My concern is that these reports are "Attorney- Client Privileged Communications" and that I may violate the Rules of Professional Conduct in submitting a prior art search report of another client. Do you have any recommendations?
ANSWER 2: Section L Instructions to Offerors 3.1(b) is revised to reflect and incorporate the below language:
- Provide a sample prior art search accomplished for a client that would waive privilege in writing.
- Provide a prior art search report produced for the vendor's own use.
- Provide a prior art search report produced for another U.S. Government agency. However, identify the agency (for Approval by us) before sending the report unless it is the U.S. Navy.
- Produce a prior art search report on an issued patent of the United States of America; as Represented by the Secretary of the Navy while attesting that the search results were not taken from the text of the issued U.S. patent.
Or
- Produce a new prior art search report for a field of technology of NUWCDIVNPT such as antennas, optics, pumps etc.
N6660419R1317
QUESTION 3: What are DCAA and DCMA office points of contact?
ANSWER 3: DCAA and DCMA activities will be identified at time of award as DCAA and DCMA POCs are determined by the contractor’s location. All post award administration for the BPAs will be done by NUWCDIVNPT. If an offeror does not have identified points of contact the offeror shall state that.
QUESTION 4: I would also like to request the bid packages.
ANSWER 4: This was due to an administrative error the solicitation and attachments are now accessible.
QUESTION 5: Technical Capability (3.1a): The requirement is a USPTO patent application or an issued USPTO patent; we have both. They each total well over 20 pages in length; what portion(s) shall we submit (i.e., first page showing patent info, drawing(s), etc.)?
ANSWER 5: In accordance with the solicitation the Government shall only evaluate 20 pages. Any additional pages over the page count will not be considered in the evaluation.
QUESTION 6: Technical Capability (3.1b): Does the required example in (b) need to be related to what is submitted in (a)?
ANSWER 6: The required example in (b) does not need to be related to what is submitted in (a).
SECTION G:
1. Insert provision G-232-H004 GOVERNMENT PURCHASE CARD METHOD OF PAY (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018).
SECTION L:
1. As a result of Answer 2, Section L Instructions to Offerors 3.1(b) is revised to reflect and incorporate this language.
