3rd Document of Questions and Answers on RFQ-BARDA-08-17

This document does not amend the terms and conditions of the solicitation in any manner; potential quoters have the duty to seek clarification from the contracting officer if they believe answers herein are inconsistent with the solicitation.

Questions are numbered; answers appear below the questions in italics. Questions may have been combined and/or edited for clarity.

1. Our company prices activities differently than the structure of the requested line items. Do we have to propose/submit a price for each exhibit line item, or can we propose different line items?

Quoters must propose prices for the exhibit line items set forth in Exhibit A, and may propose additional line items as necessary to meet the requirements of the RFQ and Scope of Work.

2. I would like to clarify that the only Task Order/ Study Example we should have was attached to the Response to Questions for RFQ 08-19 which is the Immunogenicity. Our understanding is that we should use the requirements of this Task Order/study to provide the prices that make up the individual components of this study for Exhibit A Prices for 08-17 also, however that study does not require Histopathology or Clinical Pathology, but those items were listed in Exhibit A Amendment 001 as pricing components.

RFQ-BARDA-08-19 is wholly separate and distinct from this solicitation; nothing in RFQ-BARDA-08-19 applies to or impacts this solicitation. Therefore, quoters shall not price to or propose a solution for the sample task order provided for informational purposes under RFQ-BARDA-08-19.

3. Is there another Task Order/ Study Example for RFQ 08-17, Safety and Toxicology Studies that was to have been sent with the Response to Questions?

No. Quoters shall quote pursuant to the provisions of RFQ-BARDA-08-17, including the Exhibit A, Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs, and Attachment One, Scope of Work. Quotations shall be for an indefinite delivery/ indefinite quantity task order contract and shall not be proposed on the basis of any particular task order yet to be issued.
