1.2. Will delivery locations require deliveries at different times of day? Will the awardee have to cook at staggered times?

DLA TROOP SUPPORT’S ANSWER:

Please refer to Attachment 8 Customer Delivery Schedule for the current delivery timeframe and delivery days for each customer. Each customer associated with this solicitation has their own dining facilities. The awardee will be responsible for making deliveries of catalog items within the required timeframes based on the customer requirements.

Please see Page 138 Paragraph 9. Delivery Destinations and Instructions. “Deliveries shall be F.O.B. destination to all ordering activities and delivery points. All items will be delivered to customer locations, free of damage, with all packaging and packing intact.”

VENDOR QUESTION No. 2:

Per Page 1 of the Statement of Work, “Proposals must be submitted using Times New Roman font, size 12, on pages not exceeding 8.5 by 11 inches in size and with at least one inch margins along all four sides of the pages.” However, the offeror does not need to reformat documents provided by DLA Troop Support such as the SF1449 and the Statement of Work.
