| SP7000-16-Q-0046 Question and Comment Form Page 1 of 1 | ||||
| Question | Date | Reference Document, | ||
| Section/ Paragraph | Response / Comment | Proposed Action/ Change, if applicable | ||
| Do you know if the toner was listed that it has to be OEM /genuine toner ? | ||||
| It can void warranty if not so just wanted to check. | 4/29/16 | Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition IAW FAR 13.5 | Yes, the toner cartridges must be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in accordance with the manufacturer's user guide and warranty. See the Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition IAW FAR 13.5 uploaded in the solicitation package for additional information. | N/A |
| Regarding the above RFQ - XXXX DOES offer this same PRESCRIBE capability - can you remove your Justification for other than Full and open so we can bid? |
PRESCRIBE emulation option for XXXX laser printers is an extended version of the firmware that includes a PRESCRIBE language processor. It enables the printer to be an effective replacement for Kyocera printers in select large accounts where the PRESCRIBE printer language is used. Since Kyocera does not offer a single standard version of PRESCRIBE across all of its products, the emulation compatibility of this version is based on testing with customer application test files and an extensive set of engineering command level tests.
| 5/02/16 | Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition IAW FAR 13.5 | Thank you for this information. We are planning on revising this Request for Quote from brand name only to brand name or equal to the Kyocera FS-C5250DN. The salient characteristics and additional information / updates to the solicitation are being composed and will be forthcoming. | Amendment to the combined synopsis-solicitation (forthcoming) |
| Regarding solicitation SP7000-16-Q-0046, do the bidders have to be on schedule 70 or will you open the solicitation to bidders with TAA compliant devices? |
Also, the RFQ references a simplex print speed of 28 pages per minute. However, I did some Internet research on the Kyocera printer that is referenced in the bid and it is 26 pages per minute.
Will you accept other TAA compliant printer brands that meet or exceed the specifications of the Kyocera model referenced in the RFQ?
5/03/16 Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition IAW FAR 13.5 This is an open market request for quote and therefore not subject to schedule 70 / GSA. Regarding the printer brands and specs, this requirement is being revised from brand name only to brand name or equal to the Kyocera FS-C5250DN.
The salient characteristics are being composed and will be reflected in the amendment to the solicitation, but I can tell you unofficially the predominant reason for the brand name or equal is the PRESCRIBE technology referenced in the brand name justification posted with the solicitation package. This technology is inherent to our system and processes at this time. Again, additional information and updates to the solicitation will be forthcoming.
| Amendment to the combined synopsis-solicitation (forthcoming) | |||||
| Will you also extend the due date due to this change? | 5/03/16 | N/A | A determination on whether or not we will extend the solicitation and for how long will be made when the amendment to the solicitation has been prepared and is ready for posting. | Subject to the amendment made to the combined synopsis-solicitation | |
| Is this still due today at 1 PM? | |||||
| Will a modification be coming out or not? | 5/05/16 | Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition IAW FAR 13.5 | The solicitation closing date is being extended to 9 May 2016 at 1:00pm. The other planned changes to the solicitation (brand name or equal) is currently awaiting approval. | Amendment to the combined synopsis-solicitation (forthcoming) |
