I. The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to vendor questions and to extend the close date of this solicitation.

II. The following Vendor questions are hereby answered.

Question 1: For a more accurate quotation, would it be possible to get the addresses of the receiving locations.

Answer: See Combined Synopsis / Solicitation Attachment 2 - Zones and Delivery Addresses

Question 2: The quantities that are listed on the schedule of supplies, are these the monthly quantities that would be ordered or are these the quantities over a year period?

Answer: The quantities that are listed on the schedule of supplies are estimates for the year.

Question 3: After reviewing the specs of the stretch wrap currently supplied, i.e 20" x 80-guage, 20" x 90-guage, etc. I would like to present a stretch wrap that is engineered to improve strength while reducing waste and cost - taking a smarter approach to optimizing costs per roll, pound and pallet.

To help yield the best results possible, would there be an opportunity for us to performance a Stretch Film Analysis?

Answer: Stretch Film Analysis are not necessary so long as the product being offered has clear documentation that it meets or exceeds the salient characteristics. No Trade Offs or Negotiations will be conducted as it relates to this requirement.

Question 4: Do the stock/material numbers referenced in the schedule of supplies refer to single brand/item, or are they a broad catchall. In other words, does the DLA want an exact product or will they accept equal based on the specifications?

Answer: This Request for Quote has not been established as a “Brand Name or Equal. In order to be considered Technically Acceptable, quoters must submit a quote in accordance with the instructions in FAR 52.212-1 and meet all salient characteristics required.

Question 5: To get a better understanding of the scope for the delivery zones; will supplies be delivered to each base? Or will the supplies be delivery to main bases then disperse amongst the other facilities from a main site?

CUI

Answer: Each Delivery Order will list the specific delivery address (in accordance with Attachment 2 – Zones and Delivery Locations) for that specific order against this Contract. All quantities and locations are estimates based on past Government purchases.

Question 6: We have checked with 7 manufacturers and none of them have a small business cert. Do we need the Cert and # or can we qualify through a survey of the business model?

Answer: The offeror shall provide evidence the manufacturer does not exceed the small business size standard for the RFP NAICS 326112 which is 1000 employees.

Question 7: . I want to make sure we don't get disqualified this year so I want to confirm a couple of details regarding percentages we can use on small vs large mfrs and if we have to use US manufacturers only or can we use Canadian mfr's also?

Answer: Per FAR 19.505(c)(1), any concern, including a supplier, that is awarded a contract or order subject to the nonmanufacturer rule, other than a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce (i.e., a “nonmanufacturer”), is required to-
