SPM300-11-R-0005 Amendment 0002 Page 2 of 7

Section I: Clarification to DLA Troop Support responses to vendor pre-proposal questions

The following four questions/answers were previously responded to in Amendment 0001 dated 23 November 2010 and are changed to read as follows:

#42. SOW XIV Categories of Items Normal Distribution Prices page 88. Category Number 73. Please confirm for pricing purposes if the UOM defined as case is in fact for 2 cases as intimated in the nomenclature.

DLA Troop Support Response: Distribution categories 72, 73, and 81 have been revised in this amendment under Section II, number 3.

#44. SOW XIV Categories of Items Premium categories page 88. For category 98 please confirm the UOM is net weight i.e. product weight only and not gross weight i.e. including packaging and ice.

DLA Troop Support Response: Yes, the UOM should be based on net weight i.e. product weight only.

#55: Referring to page 63, future Operational Rations storage requirements Country/Region Number of Dry Pallets Number of Reefer Pallets Bahrain 100 50 Qatar 100 50

UAE 6000 500

Djibouti 100 50

Please indicate if the quantities indicated refer to the base period (24 months) or if it includes also the 2 option periods. The quantities indicated for UAE seems extremely high, especially when compared with the information retrievable from the schedule of items for zone 2. For the base period in fact it is indicated:

a) 8970001491094 MEAL, READY-TO-EAT, IND, TPK-2 ITEM, MENU 1-12, 1/12 MEAL CT BX, ACR-M-026, 35707 BX (approximately 790 pallets)

b) 8970015256856 GFM UGR-A PERISHABLE, 9 EA/CS (1 pallet)

c) 8970015394598 GFM UGR-E, EA/CS (1 pallet)

DLA Troop Support Response: Operational rations storage requirement numbers are revised under this amendment in Section II, number 5. Quantities are representative of a continuous requirement. This means for example that the 100 American sized (48 x 40 inches) dry pallet spaces required for customers in Bahrain will need to be available at all time during the life of the contract.

#79. Does the 60-day stock requirement need to be maintained in each respective country or can the stock be maintained at a regional location? Request clarification

DLA Troop Support Response: The stock does not need to be specifically maintained in each respective country. However, the offeror will need to account for required delivery lead times and stock requirements for each customer when establishing their proposal and selecting warehouse locations.

B. Obtaining a PKI certificate

However, OCONUS vendors may have some difficulty in obtaining a PKI certificate, and while this is a requirement under special circumstances exceptions can be made. Additionally, the potential cost involved in obtaining a PKI certification should be considered when offerors establish normal distribution prices.

DoD PKI certificate from one of three External Certificate Authorities (ECAs). The ECAs are vendors who provide digital certificates to DOD’s industry partners who are using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities. A list of ECAs is available at http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/. Each contractor employee accessing CPARS will need an Identity Certificate (An Encryption Certificate is not required).
