No Industry Question U.S. Government’s Answer

1 How many units does it require? BPA Master states the price listing for one unit: latrine, holding tank

(fresh water and grey water), handwashing station, and dumpster. This enables the MICC to validate and establish the pricing of each individual unit. The follow-on BPA calls will specify the number of units the customer needs to include dimensions of dumpsters based on the company catalog, identifying what can be provided by the vendor within the BPA Master. The MICC did not specify dimensions for dumpsters in this RFQ for competitive purposes and to not exclude vendors from competition. Put your lowest priced dumpster. If you have the ability to provide a dumpster the vendor is competitive. Please ensure you submit your company’s catalog pricing for all units and servicing because this will be emplaced into the Master BPA and updated annually.

3 In the pricing matrix, does "Price of one servicing per latrine (daily)" mean the daily price for 1 latrine, serviced

1x per week? Likewise, does "Price of two servicing per latrine (daily) mean the daily price for 1 latrine, serviced

2x per week?

Yes, the pricing matrix for the CLIN structure specifies daily servicing per one (1) latrine. The follow-on BPA calls will specify the number of units to include servicing needed for the units. For example, a BPA call can request for two (2) weekly servicing on six (6) latrines which translates to one (1) daily service on two separate days for six (6) latrines. Customers will specify the period of performance and needs for their requirement which will be identified in the BPA call. The needs of the units will vary. Customers will request for different number of servicing and number of latrines, but the vendor must result to their daily unit and servicing rate. Please ensure you submit your company’s catalog pricing for all units and servicing because this will be emplaced into the Master BPA and updated annually.

4 Am I able to provide the price for mobilization and demobilization in the pricing matrix? Or should that be addressed separately?

Address any delivery fees or mobilization/demobilization fees into the unit cost. Please do not add any separate CLINs that are not addressed or identified in the RFQ.

5 Is there an incumbent to this contract?

Refer to the Answer #2 above.

6 For each BPA Call, what is the expected quantity of portable units requested (latrines, hand washing stations, holding tanks, and dumpsters)?

It varies based on the mission. The follow-on BPA calls will specify the number of units the customer needs to include dimensions of dumpsters based on the company catalog, identifying what can be provided by the vendor within the BPA Master. Please ensure you submit your company’s catalog pricing for all units and servicing because this will be emplaced into the Master BPA and updated annually.

7 What is the anticipated frequency of servicing these units and removing waste/grey water from the holding tanks per BPA Call?

It depends on the nature of mission and exercises. Refer to the Answer

#2 above.

8 Sec.1.6 Purchase Limitations. In the past three years how often was the Micro purchase Limit applied?

a. Is a Historical Service record available which would show the inventory levels and service frequency for a set period (month, year, etc)?

b. Based on historical calls, what is the minimum number of portable latrines that will be ordered under one Call Order, and what is minimum number of latrines that will be serviced at a single time? Same question for handwashing stations, holding tanks, grey water removal, and dumpsters.

Although micro purchase was occasionally made, a single BPA call will take precedence over micro purchase upto $250,000.

a. Historical data or call not available at this time.

b. There is no minimum quantity under the BPA. However, the minimum dollar limit for each call shall be $2500.00. All authorized BPA Call Orders that do not meet the $1000.00 threshold shall establish service using the unit’s Government

Purchase Card (GPC) as the service will be under the micro-purchase limit. The maximum dollar limit for each call is

$250,000.00.

9 Sec 4.(a) Intent to Award Four BPA’s. What is the

Government’s reasoning to award four BPA’s? Is there a scenario where the Government would award a single
