| 7. Please clarify the following: Question #19 asked "The binding options for each Band are typically for high end equipment. Are these binding options required or if they can not be met by a specific band, can the vendors note N/A in the blue cell?" The Answer provided was "YES" seeming to indicate a Best Value Evaluation where vendors do not need to meet every requirement to be considered for award. If this |
is true, then the answers to #8, #9, #10, #17, and #24 are unclear since each asked if a spec could be removed and the answer to each of these was "No". This seems to confirm that all features are in fact mandatory and entering an N/A would eliminate a vendor from competition. Page 37 of the Solicitation also states " This acquisition will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures.
| After futher review on Band 25-45 Bookletmaker with Face trim and Z fold have been removed. An entry of N/A could be cause for disqualification or not techically acceptable. | |
| 8. Many of the features/requirements in the RFQ are considered high-end production features and are not available on low end MFD models. According to our research, we have found no single manufacturer that can meet the specs below for all Bands which would result in minimal competition at best and a possible flawed procurement. We ask that if this is to be deemed a LPTA procurement, that the features below be removed to allow maximum competition. BAND 25: Face Trim and Z-Fold Capability BAND 35: Face Trim and Z-Fold Capability BAND 45: Face Trim and Z-Fold Capability BAND 55: Face Trim and GBC Punch Capability BAND 65: Removable/Interchangable Hard Drives BAND 75: Removable/Interchangable Hard Drives | GBC/19 hole punch, Bookletmaker with Face Trim and Z Fold have been removed for bands 25-45 but must be offered as an option with Bands 55-75. Removable/Interchangable Hard Drives msut be offered as an option for bands 25-75. |
