PSA-14-R-000012, Amendment No. 0002

Immunoassay Reagents and Instrumentation

The Government hereby amends the solicitation to answer the below questions:

Question #1:

The amendment to this RFP, the one page document prior to the 58 pages, in the first paragraph beginning with “The Pre-Trial Services Agency of the District of Columbia in Washington requires an automated…” seems to be in conflict with §2.1 Salient Characteristics. We understand that the requirements of §2.1 will prevail over any conflict between the two sections.

Government Response:

That is correct, the requirements of §2.1 prevail.

Question #2:

The amendment to this RFP, the one page document prior to the 58 pages, in the second paragraph states that he NAICS code 334516 is “100% set aside for small businesses.” We understand that large business (greater than 500 employees) will not be disqualified from responding to the RFP if they meet all other aspects of the RFP requirements. And that the

NAICS code set-aside will come into play as a tie-breaker when a participating small business is also able to meet the requirements.

Government Response:

This solicitation is open to ALL business size concerns (i.e., “unrestricted”). Also, the following

FAR clause is checked:

52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Jul 2013) (15 U.S.C. 637(d)(4).

Question #3:

We understand that the reagents listed in section 1.1 of the Statement of Work are to be supplied directly from the manufacturer. As such any assays unavailable directly from the awarded contractor (e.g., third party assays run on open channels) would be purchased directly by the customer from the third party manufacturer.

Government Response:

This solicitation will result in a SINGLE award for the services outlined within Attachment I

(i.e., Description / Specification / Statement of Work).
