9A. AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION NO.

9B. DATED (SEE ITEM 11)

13. THIS APPLIES ONLY TO MODIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTS/ORDERS.

IT MODIFIES THE CONTRACT/ORDER NO. AS DESCRIBED IN ITEM 14.

A. The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers in response to questions received regarding the solicitation.

B. The following are the questions that have been received by the Contracting Officer and the Government’s responses to those questions.

QUESTION: In case of partial orders, how can we charge for the "DELIVERY & ONSITE LOADING"? Under which CLIN can we charge this?

DLA ENERGY RESPONSE: Yes, the Government expects to pay the cost of "DELIVERY & ONSITE LOADING" for all deliveries to include partial deliveries. Delivery and on site loading fees for each delivery would be included under whichever of the contract line items 0003, 0009, 0014 or 0022 titled "DELIVERY & ONSITE LOADING" applies where the Government would expect that a single fixed fee would be proposed to cover a full or a partial delivery. Should it apply, product costs for partial deliveries where the receiver takes partial delivery of 50% or less of quantity ordered shall be recovered under the contract line item titled "SERVICES, ABORTED QUANTITY" (CLIN 0005, 0011, 0016 or 0022, whichever applies).

QUESTION: When more than 50% of the ordered quantity will be utilized by client (eg. 70 out of 100); then how do we cater the costs for the balance 30%? Can we bill this under the "Aborted Quantity CLIN" (as this is not mentioned in the SOW)?

DLA ENERGY RESPONSE: As currently stated in the RFP SOO paragraph titled "Partial Quantity Deliveries" the Government will only pay the partial delivery per pound/MC fee under the CLIN entitled "SERVICES, ABORTED QUANTITY" (CLIN 0005, 0011, 0016 or 0022) when the customer receives 50% or less of the quantity originally ordered. There would be no aborted quantities for more than 50% deliveries, or in the case of this question, the costs for the balance 30%.

QUESTION: In case of cancelled orders, how can we charge for the "Delivery & Transportation & Cancellation fees"? Under which CLIN can we charge this?

DLA ENERGY RESPONSE: Cancelled Orders can be charged under RFP contract line item titled "SERVICES, DELIVERY CANCELLATION FEE" (CLIN 0004, 0010, 0015 or 0021) as per the RFP SOO paragraph titled "Order Cancellations" in lieu of charging the DELIVERY & ONSITE LOADING charge (CLIN 0003, 0009, 0014 or 0022).

QUESTION: The “Aborted quantity” CLINs will have to be a “PER LBS” instead of “EACH” unit; as the quantity will vary on a case to case basis.

DLA ENERGY RESPONSE: Correct. The Government is looking for a per-pound-basis for liquid nitrogen proposals and a per MC-basis for gaseous nitrogen proposals. This is a computer system problem as services are in a quantity of EA; however, the CLIN descriptions clearly delineate that the EA is defined as PER LB or PER MC. This will continue throughout the contract as there is no way to change the system.

C. The Solicitation Closing Date and Time remains unchanged on 15 SEPEMBER 2015 at 1600 Local Time.
