QUESTIONS:
1- The request is for one year with four options, are the options binding or, in the event of award and significant price changes, the options can be waived or revised?
2- Would it be possible for the Government to consider opening the solicitation to additional approved water bottling plants in order to increase competitiveness of this RFQ?
3- Would it be possible to respectfully request for a one-week extension of the submission deadline? Brief extension would allow bidders to submit more competitive quotation.
4- Could you please confirm that you only need 700 cases per quarter or better say 2800 Cases per year delivered to your NAVSUP Location in Gaeta Italy? Can one delivery of 1400 cases be made every time an order will be placed to reduce transport movements and to provide most competitive pricing?
