0004 15 SEP 2016

The purpose of this amendment 0004 is issued to provide responses to questions received from multiple Vendors in reference to solicitation SP3300-16-R-0021.

Closing time and date remain unchanged from Amendment 0003 (2:00 PM//23 September 2016.

The questions/issues are summarized below:

Issue #1: Potential Vendor states that they concluded that there is no laminate on these labels CLINs# 0004, 0007, 0008, 0009, 0010, 0012, 0013, 0014, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019, 0021, 0022, 0023 and that the Intermec material spec sheet for Duratran II thermal transfer paper (attached) makes no mention of laminate.

Vendor's Question: Could you please confirm if they need a laminated paper?

Government Response to Issue #1: CLINs# 0004, 0007, 0008, 0009, 0010, 0012, 0013, 0014, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019, 0021, 0022, and 0023 will need to be laminated.

Issue #2: It is mentioned that ThermaMax 1500 is a wax ribbon and ThermaMax 2200 is a wax and resin ribbon.

However in CLIN# 0006, ThermaMax 2200 is marked as full resin ribbon.

Vendor's Question: Could you please clarify which ribbon and material is required for CLIN# 0006?

Government Response to Issue #2: CLIN# 0006 should be a full resin ribbon

Issue #3: Salient Characteristics - Attachment 4, Page 6, Label (Sheet Stocks). It is mentioned that "hot melt pattern adhesive or pressure sensitive adhesive" should be used. Hot melt adhesive is inadequate for laser printers as it will cause "excessive bleeding around the edges".

Vendor's Question: Can the Vendor use a pressure sensitive pattern adhesive?

Government Response to Issue #3: A pressure sensitive pattern adhesive is acceptable.

Issue #4: Attachment 2 (First Article Testing), Page 2, CLIN 0005 - document calls for testing with CLIN 0003. However, in the Schedule of Supplies, CLIN 0005 is to be used with " Intermec full resin ribbon such as Intermec ThermaMax 3202 or as in Intermec 13634118". CLIN 0003 and Intermec Part # 13634118 are very different items. CLIN 0005 will not function well with CLIN 0003 and should be used with ribbon as described under CLIN 0005 of the Schedule.

Government Response to Issue #4: CLIN 0029 is incorporated into Attachment #1 (Schedule of Supplies, Rev.1 13, September 2016) and Attachment #2 (First Article Test Plan Process and Procedures, Rev. 1, 13 September 2016) to accommodate special labels.

CLIN 0029 Item Description: Ribbon of same as or equal to manufacture of Intermec ThermaMAX 3202 ribbon part number 13634118.

Quantity: 1 Roll

To be used with: Ribbon will be tested with CLIN 0005.

All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged.
