PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

(1.) Will you accept the response electronically?

Government Response: Instructions on how to submit a proposal are stated on page 86 of Amendment

10. Offerors SHALL provide copies of all submission material on two CD-ROMs (or DVD’s) and two physical copies.

(2.) Why can’t we be part of the consolidation?

Government Response: Only current contract holders under Solicitation SPE2D1-15-R-0001 may submit an offer for the items listed under a consolidation for the aforementioned Solicitation.

(3.) What do we sign to submit an offer?

Amendment 0010 hereby deletes and replaces all attachments and only the attachments (#1 through #5) included with Amendments 0010 shall be used for proposal submission. (4.) Vendors shall complete and sign the original solicitation page 1 and Amendment 0010. Vendors do not have to complete and sign Amendments 0001 through 0009.

Government Response: No.

(5.) Will travel for training by vendor be paid for by the government or should that be included in a quote to Government?

Government Response: If training is offered, the line item must only include the cost of tuition.

Government employees use agency specific travel procedures and resources to make their own travel arrangements.

Government Response: Confirmation of receipt by DLA personnel will not be provided. It is suggested that the sender request signature and delivery confirmation from the selected carrier.

Government Response: There is no preference in shipping company, however it is suggested that offers are submitted early enough to allow for proper transmittal and processing by DLA post office personnel.

Government Response: Leasing is within scope of the solicitation. However, the program has not traditionally been used by DoD and VA customers to lease equipment, who typically lease locally.

(9.) Are clinical and professional services to operate equipment acceptable under the program?

Government response: No, these are not in scope of the program which only supports providing medical supplies.

(13.) As a dealer, what kind of price support information can we provide?

Government Response: Commercial quotes and invoices are preferred. If these are not available, then other kinds of other than cost or pricing data can be provided such as the price paid to the manufacturer, manufacturer commercial price list and manufacturer invoices or other manufacturer supplied price support data. Dealers also need to supply the pricing terms from their agreement with the manufacturer.

(14.) Is there a limit on how many awards will be made under the program?

Government Response: There is no limit

(15.) Are operating systems other than Microsoft acceptable?

Government Response: Yes, any supported operating system is acceptable.

Government Response: Vendors should carefully read the entire Amendment 0010 which provides instructions on what is required. Vendors should pay particular attention to pages 86 through 88 of Amendment 0010 as that provides instructions on the most important submission requirements.
