Question:

We notice the solicitation includes DFARS 252.204-7008, Compliance with Safeguarding Covered Defense Information Controls. We assume the selected subcontractor be required to be compliant with all 110 requirements in NIST Special Publication 800-171. Is this correct?

Answer:

This Provision is being removed from the solicitation.

Question:

What is the method (forklift, pallet jack, or other) of loading and unloading the pallet?

Answer:

Forklift is the method of loading the material onto the machine.

Question:

If you’re unloading with a pallet jack, what is the height of the ramp that is provided? Can you provide in detail the typical load configuration?

Answer:

As long as the machine supports 4k weight loads and has the specified turntable size that allows for a wrap to be applied it will be sufficient.

Question:

Will the equipment area have preconfigured electrical or air supply, or will the vendor be required to integrate directly into facility infrastructure?

Answer:

The machine should not (and we do NOT want one that does) require an air supply.

Question:

Will there be an electrician on site?

Answer:

Electrical connections will be in place at each site.

Question:

Do we have a list of approved countries?

Answer:

Take a look at the FAR clauses that are in the CSS.

Question:

The RFQ is written for a Cousins LP2100SRT machine with a low profile turntable; however, two of the salient characteristics are for the high profile machine.

Answer:

It is low profile and no ramps are required as long as it’s low profile as specified.

Question:

Please clarify if installation/training on site is also required or just supply of the specified 6 Stretch Wrap Machines with Scale.

Answer:

Yes, please include both.

Question:

Do we want High Profile turntable? Do we want 8 hours of training for each location or total for the 3 locations?

Answer:

We absolutely do not want High Profile, it must be low profile. Yes please include training at each location. With employee turnover there is no guarantee that just because the machines have been purchased in the past the current employee force has received proper operator training on the equipment.

We prefer to stick with what was listed in the interest of keeping every location using the same equipment. It would only be acceptable if what you have meets all specifications.

The closing date for submission of quote is extended until 3:30 PM EDT ON JUNE 23, 2020.
