QUESTIONS & ANSWERS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THE SOLICITATION

Question: Could you clarify if the solicitation is to include bulk liquid Oxygen (for dewars) and bulk liquid Carbon Dioxide for Microbulk fills. If so, what are the quantities?

Answer: There is so Bulk Liquid Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide (see CLINs 0002 for Bulk Gases required).

Question: Re CLINs 0003AB/1003AB/2003AB/3003AB/4003AB, the Solicitation references a dewar for liquid Argon Nitrogen and Liquid Oxygen but we do not see any area to quote Oxygen.

Question: Likewise, CLIN 0003AC/1003AC/2003AC/3003AC/4003AC references liquid Argon, Carbon Dioxide, and Nitrogen Microbulk systems, but we do not see any area to quote Carbon Dioxide.
