Amendment One

Amendment One (1) of Solicitation USM-HQ-10-0053

The purpose of the Amendment One (1) to the United States Mint Solicitation USM-HQ- 10-0053 / Business Cards is to provide responses to the questions received by potential offerors.

Question #1: Is there anyway you can give us a number of potential employees who might order cards thru out the tenure of the contract? Will all the employees of the Mint be ordering new cards?

Answer #1: See C.3.3. - Frequency of Orders under Section C-Statement of Work/Specification. We can only guess at the number of employees who will be ordering business cards. The minimum is estimated at 120 but we can make no guarantee as to quantities to be ordered.

Question #2: There are two solicitations posted with different solicitation numbers but they appear to be the same, are there two requirements?

Answer #2: It is only one solicitation USM-HQ-10-0053 which applies to four NAICS codes: 323110, 323112,323115, and323119.

Question #3: I was reading over the Statement of Work for this job, and I was just clarifying that this has to be done through a sole printing company, meaning a primary contractor cannot subcontract a company to do the work?

Answer #3: See C.3.1- Subcontracting under Section C-Statement of Work/Specification.

Offerors that sub-contract printing will not be considered for award.

Question #4: I have a question regarding the solicitation. Would the US Mint consider digital printing for any of the run sizes?

Answer #4: See C.3.5.5 - PRINTING under Section C-Statement of Work/Specification.

Offerors may also propose digital for all run size however clearly make note that this is an alternate proposal.

Question #5: Any Idea what type of volume this represents? 10,000 cards 100,000 cards?

Answer #5: See C.3.3. - Frequency of Orders under Section C-Statement of Work/Specification. We can only guess at the number of cards that might be ordered.

The minimum is estimated at 30,000 but we can make no guarantee as to quantities to be ordered.
