Amendment 0001

Amendment 0001 is incorporated into solicitation SP3300-24-Q-0005.

Amendment 0001 is being issued to provide answers to the below vendor questions, incorporate a revised solicitation which removes the following provisions (252.225-7035, 252.204-7008, 252.204-7019) and clauses (252.225-7001, 252.225-7036, 252.204-7009, 252.204-7012, 252.204-7020), and to incorporate a revised schedule of supplies that corrects several part number and description errors. The due date for quotes is extended to 29 November 2023 at 1:00PM EST.

Vendor Questions:

1. Do you have any stats on how many cases of copy paper, ribbons and labels the OCONUS location orders as a minimum during the 12-month period? There are no stats available to determine what the OCONUS location orders may be.

2. Due to the fatality and availability of copy paper, will you allow Economic Price Adjustment every quarter if necessary? Please refer to FAR 52.216-2

3. We noticed that a specific certification is required, UL/CSA certification. Can you provide us with the specific certifications that are required for the end use? Please specify where you are seeing mention of this certification so I can provide further clarification on it. Is it located within one of the ‘by reference’ provisions or clauses?

4. The Government's answers to questions might cause the vendors to have more questions. Can the Government accept and provide a due date for Round 2 questions? We will allow an additional 5 days for clarifications to answers provided.

5. What is the delivery schedule requirement for each order? Refer to paragraph 11 and FAR 52.211-9

6. Can you please confirm partial shipments are acceptable on orders shipping from multiple vendors? For example, labels and ribbons would be sourced from two different vendors. Is it acceptable to ship the ribbons separate from the labels? This will greatly impact freight costs. Yes, partial shipments are authorized.

7. Can the Government provide more detail on the actual applications? What are the labels being used for and what exposures will they see? What are the expectations for durability and longevity? For use with the various printers mentioned in the Schedule of Supplies. Durability and longevity must at least be equal to the Intermec products in accordance with First Article Testing.

8. Would the Government be interested in a recycling program for spent labels, liners, and/or ribbons? Not at this time.

9. Can the Government provide an example of how the EPA clause would work under this contract? Please refer to FAR 52.216-2

10. Does the EPA clause have to be initiated by the contractor or can the Government initiate the increase/decrease? Yes

11. "Variance in Quantity: Does the Government expect a price adjustment, up or down, based on the overages or underages respectively? If yes, will the delivery order be modified once the order has been delivered, receipted in, and invoiced? For example, it is industry standard practice for the contractor to invoice for the shipped quantity. If 1,000 labels were ordered and 1,100 were shipped - can the contractor invoice for the 1,100 and will the government pay the variance without modification to the delivery order? Similarly, If 1,000 labels were ordered and 900 were shipped - should the contractor invoice for the 900 only and will the government pay the variance without modification to the delivery order?" There will be no price adjustment on the unit price, but the Delivery Order will be modified on the quantity to match actual amounts shipped.

12. Variance in Quantity: OR is it the Government's intent to accept overages/underages but pay for the delivery order as originally issued? For example, if 1,000 were ordered and 1,100 or 900 were shipped - is the Government going to pay for the 1,000? The Government will be responsible to pay for actual amount shipped.

13. Pallet Requirements: Will the Government accept plastic pallets in place of heat treated pallets? No

14. We have past performance ratings in CPARS. Can the Government reference those for this solicitation in lieu of SPRS evaluations? The Government will utilize both CPARS and SPRS to determine a vendor’s acceptable past performance.

15. Reference CLIN x005, Line 12: Column C lists part number E17551. Column D references part number E04812 in the beginning of the description. Is this a typo? Yes, this was a typo. See Schedule of Supplies_Revision1

16. Reference CLIN x025, Line 32: Column C lists part number E09603. Column D references part number E06172 in the beginning of the description. Is this a typo? Yes, this was a typo. See Schedule of Supplies_Revision1

17. Reference CLIN x025, Line 32: Column C lists part number E09603. Column D provides a size description of 3" Wide X 4" Long. Part number E09603 is actually 4" Wide X 3" Long. Is E09603 the intended part number? If yes, can the Government update the description in the schedule of supplies to reflect a size of 4" X 3" (not 3" X 4"). Yes, this was a typo. See Schedule of Supplies_Revision1

18. "Reference CLIN x025, Line 32: Column C lists part number E09603. Column D provides a description of 1920 Labels/Roll. E09603 has 2000 Labels/Roll. Is E09603 the intended part number? If yes, can the Government update the description in the schedule of supplies to reflect 2000 labels/roll? NOTE: This discrepancy is due to the size issue (reference previous question). A 3"" X 4"" label would have 1920 labels/roll where as a 4"" X 3"" label would have 2000 labels/roll." 1920 labels is correct for E09603

19. ? Weekly/monthly, etc.? It will be determined by mission requirements. We are not able to determine actual frequency.

20. In addition to CPI based price adjustment, can the provider justify price increases due to change in cost or shortage of raw material for the products? Please refer to FAR 52.216-2

21. Honeywell is ceasing manufacturing of Intermec labels, label printers, and accessories, so we have been offering compatible products from our proposed OEM. Unfortunately, we have not been able to identify a source for CLIN X029 and X030. Would DLA consider removing the requirement for these items?

Similarly, CLIN X001 and X002 will need to be sourced separately and may be considered special order.

All items are required.
