Amendment 0007

The purpose of this amendment is to answer contractor’s questions with regard to the dimensions of the outer container and the inside cavity.

1. The contractors shall use the dimensions stated in the latest Commercial Item Description A-A-005919G dated 22 October 2015.

2. Replace Amendment 0005 Attachment 1 – Schedule of Supplies with revised Attachment 1 – Schedule of Supplies.

3. Replace Amendment 0005 Attachment 3 – Commercial Item Description A-A-0059195F dated 23 September 2015 with revised Attachment 3 - Commercial Item Description A-A-005919G dated 22 October 2015. (NOTE: the changes are made to Paragraphs 3.3, 3.4, Table I Thermal Shipping Containers, and Figure 1).

4. Amend Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (Oct 2014), Factor 1, Technical Capability, Paragraph C. Functional/Physical – Visual, as shown on page 22 of the solicitation, to read:

From:

• Visual: The Government will verify all components fit into the Cavity (Cargo Space) and the container can be sealed without bulging the top, bottom and sides.

To:

• Visual: The Government will verify all components fit into the Cavity (Cargo Space) and the container can be completely sealed on the top, without bulging on the bottom and sides. For the Small and Medium boxes (per the engineering design), the packaging is expected to compress by approximately 0.75" to 0.25" in height, respectively, through the inherent flexible characteristics of the foam plug material, as well as the non-rigid nature of the gel packs in their refrigerated (non-frozen) state. Although the height dimensions for these two specific sizes, when added, cause the foam plugs to sit slightly higher than the container openings, the packaging is designed to be that way. The pack-outs are designed to produce a tight fit that is part of the thermal design. Once the box is packed and the foam plug is pushed down, the cavity will be secure, although there may be a slight bow on the top side.

5. Extend the closing date of the solicitation until 09 November 2015, 11:00 am EST. All offers must be received by this date and time to be considered for award. NOTE: As previously stated on page 21 of the solicitation, the proposal and bid samples shall be sent to:
