Questions and Answers

Q1. Will vendors be able to update information found on the Federal Vehicle Standards website from Auto Vendor? I cannot find where that is possible and we would like to update a few minor items prior to the submission of our response. Several vendors have a significant amount of data missing from this website.

A1: Vendors will have an opportunity to update data that has changed later before any awards go live in Autochoice in March. This is a LPTA solicitation so there will be no problems as long as the vendor meets or exceeds related GSA minimums. Vendor data is shown for customer information when ordering. If any vendors are taking exceptions to the GSA Minimums, those exceptions will need to be detailed in their offer and may result in the offer being rejected.

Q2. Is the electronic submission preferred per volume? There are references in the solicitation that refer to submitting different document formats (pdf, .doc, etc) and there is also a reference to the response being submitted with page numbers. Would you prefer that we submit an individual zip file per volume, with one single document for the Administrative, Technical and Price sections?

A2: Only electronic responses will be accepted. It is preferred that files supporting each volume are arranged in the email(s) in a coherent manner (i.e. one email per volume with the files associated for that volume is acceptable). Zip files are acceptable as long as files are separable by specific volumes (i.e. files should not be created such that they would included in two or three different volumes) or you can submit a Zip File for each volume.

Q3. Just wondering why if DC Public Schools told me they purchased about 50 Type A units off this bid last year, the file you sent me only shows a combined volume of about 15 units for FY15 and around the same for

FY14.

A3: DC Public Schools do not purchase from the GSA Bus contract.
