QUESTION & ANSWER PART TWO

QUESTION #1: I’d like to request clarification on pricing, as we don’t feel it’s clear as to what makes up the amount to be placed in Item No. 0001.

There is a chart found on Pages 4 and 5 listing ‘Common Sample Analysis Requested’. Are we to put a per cost for each analysis and put the total amount of all of those in Item No. 0001? If this is not the case, can you please clarify what makes up the number to go into Item No. 0001.

ANSWER: Historical Data of tests conducted is noted in the below chart for a time period of one year. The pricing offered would be the total dollar amount that a vendor charges over a one year period based on the historical data.

The pricing would be notated as one job with the dollar amount decreasing each time an invoice was generated after testing has been performed.

QUESTION #2: There is a huge difference in cost between IH analyses, in general. Specifically for this RFQ, between air and surface samples vs a full Allergen Panel.

ANSWER: Allergen Panels are NOT a routine test, all vendors may provide their individual pricing list for what you would normally charge for any test that you consider to be specialty testing.

QUESTION #3: Will you provide volumes for each test annually? If not, can we provide pricing in a file for each test for first year and each option year?

ANSWER: Yes, you may provide your individual company pricing in a file, and if you choose, to include the TAT

(turn-around time) for all tests. Please refer to above chart for historical data for a one year period.

QUESTION #4: As this contract reads there is no requirement for manpower. Are we supposed to only quote laboratory services?

ANSWER: This requirement is for laboratory services only, there is not a requirement for manpower services.

QUESTION #5: Is this contract for laboratory services to provide analytical testing? However the PWS is addressing repair of instruments.

ANSWER: This was addressed in Amendment 0002.

QUESTION #6: Is this an IDIQ contract?

ANSWER: No

QUESTION #7: Will you cut task orders off the contract?

ANSWER: NA

QUESTION #8: How will you issue the task orders?

QUESTION #9: If it is an IDIQ what is the min and max?

QUESTION #10: Is their (sic) a contractor currently in place doing this work?

ANSWER: Yes there is an incumbent.

QUESTION #11: If so, can the government PM provide a quantity of the historical data?

ANSWER: This is addressed previously in the first question with the chart of historical data over a one year period.

QUESTION #12: Does the FAR requires a quantity for a task order contract based on historical data?

QUESTION #13: What is the be (sic) the Government base line if there is no quantities?

ANSWER: This is addressed previously in the first question with the chart of historical data over a one year period.

QUESTION #14: There are no estimates on quantities of samples for each analysis to be able to give an accurate total costs for Line items 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, 2002, 3001, 3002, 4001 and 4002. Can you provide estimated quantities of samples for each TAT listed for each service listed in the work performance so that we can give an accurate net total for services?

ANSWER: This has been previously answered in Amendment 0001. The amount of costs are due to the total volume of tests to be performed. However the number of tests is unknown until an onsite assessment is conducted. Therefore the total dollar amount may vary due the TAT (turnaround time) being based on the assessment findings and how soon results are required.

Historical data is noted above in the chart for a time period of one year. The pricing offered would be the total dollar amount that a vendor charges over a one year period based on the historical data. The pricing would be notated as one job with the dollar amount decreasing each time an invoice was generated after testing has been performed.

REITERATION: Yes, you may provide your individual company pricing to include the TAT for all tests.

QUESTION #15: Provide a more detailed explanation of how to price out this solicitation.

ANSWER: Pricing is based upon how a vendor determines they may charge for bulk testing for a year. Please note that the quantity is the total price at $1.00 each with multiple invoices being charged against the total dollar amount.

This has been more thoroughly discussed in the first answer.

QUESTION #16: Clarification of 2.5 within the Performance Work Statement. “2.5. The samples submitted for analysis are not limited to the below requests as outlined in the table. Additional non-common samples from vendors Directory of Service may be requested.”

ANSWER: Non-common samples are rarely requested. However vendors may provide their company pricing for any non-common test, such as for example: viable bacteria, fungi test and/or sewer screens.

QUESTION #17: Clarification of 3.2 within the Performance Work Statement. "3.2. Any analysis requests for samples that are not listed on the common sample sheet but that are listed in the vendor current Directory of

Services to be priced with stated standard discount.

ANSWER: Non-common samples are rarely requested. However when requested these services are to be offered with any stated standard discounts that are available to the government.
