2. Is our reading correct that once the tank has been delivered to the AB and offloaded, the demurrage (if past the 45 days) ends and we are solely responsible for the tank at that point? If so, assume we are not required to us a US flagged carrier for the backhaul?

5. I see where we are required to clear customs. As this is military fuel, with a diplomatic note from the Embassy we are exempt from customs. Can you confirm?

DLA Energy Response: The contractor shall ensure that the containers meet certification requirements for the designated transportation mode.

DLA Energy Response: Offeror bids should not be based on the TBD contract value amount in FAR clause 52.216-19. Offerors bids should take into consideration Table 1 Pricing Schedule (estimated qty per CLIN) and your commercial expertise of the requirement as described by the PWS.

13. Other than door to port and port to door services, will the contactor incur any billable cost for ocean vessel movement if Surface and Deployment Distribution Command (SDDC) is arranging ocean vessel bookings?
