Questions & Answers Ferroniobium

SP8000-19-R-0009

The following questions were received in response to the issuance of Solicitation No. SP8000-19-R-0009 for the purchase of 137 metric tons (MT) of ferroniobium. An answer follows each question.

1. QUESTION: Under pallet design they call for ‘2 way entry’ which means there are no notches to enter from the side. They also say no wing and the pallet should be reversible in design.

ANSWER(S): Correct, there is only a two-way entry with no notches on the sides identified in Amendment 0001, paragraph 5.22, section entitled Pallet Design, of the Statement of Work (SOW).

Correct, no wings, and it says the pallet can be reversible in design, not should. This depends on the manufacturer, some build the bottom boards and the top boards identically so you cannot tell the top from the bottom. Others use less boards on the bottom than the top. Both designs are acceptable.

2. QUESTION: In the next section, Pallet Construction, they call for four way (meaning notches in the sides, wing (above they say flush, and non- reversible.

ANSWER(S): This is answered in Amendment 0001, paragraph 5.2.2. The pallet is a two-way design only and no wings.

3. QUESTION: I also don’t see how many deck boards they want. Can you get a picture?

ANSWER(S): Please see attached photographs and Amendment 0001, paragraph 5.2.2 for pallet information.

4. ORAL QUESTION (received at Pre-Proposal Conference): Are aluminum tags acceptable?

ANSWER(S): Yes, the aluminum tags are acceptable in accordance with paragraph 5.3.1(e) of the SOW.

5. ORAL QUESTION (received at Pre-Proposal Conference): Are there any tariffs paid to customs?

ANSWER(S): No tariffs are to be paid to US Customs according Paragraph 6, Tariffs of the SOW.

6. QUESTION: Will payment for material be made based on the contained weight of niobium?
