1) 500 pounds to be delivered to ROBERTSON BLOOD CENTER, Bldg. 2250, 761st Tank Battalion Ave, Fort Hood, Texas 76544.

2) 500 pounds to be delivered to CARL R. DARNAL ARMY MEDICAL CENTER (CRDAMC), Building 36065, Room 42-415, Specimen Processing, 2nd Floor, 590 Medical Center Road, Fort Hood, Texas 76544

** Provide dry ice (CO2) which is solidified carbon dioxide (CO2). Distinct from regular ice, which exists at temperatures of 32F (0C) and below, dry ice is extremely cold, 109F (-79C). Unlike water ice, dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas), releasing CO2. Carbon dioxide vapor is substantially heavier than air.

Access. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within Army controlled installation, facility, or area. Contractors and all associated sub-contractors employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or CRDAMC Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by the Department of Defense (DOD), Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

W81K0026QA2220001

Contractors that do not require Common Access Card (CAC), but require access to a DoD facility or installation. Contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with adjudication standards and procedures using the National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index (NCIC-III) and Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) (Army Directive 2014-05 /AR 190-13), applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by government representative), or, at Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS) locations, in accordance with status of forces agreements and other theater regulations.

iWatch Training. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within an Army controlled installation, facility or area. The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall brief all employees on the local iWATCH program. All personnel on CRDAMC property must understand to contact 288-COPS (288-2677) or the CRDAMC Provost Marshal Office at 553-9832 if any suspicious activity is observed. This training shall be completed within five (5) calendar days of contract award and within five (5) calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) no later than (NLT) ten (10) calendar days after contract award.

Dry Ice - Questions and Answers

1. Are the insulated containers expected to remain on site with the Government after each weekly delivery (consumable), or are they to be exchanged/returned on a recurring basis (contractor drops full containers and retrieves empties at the following delivery)?

Answer- Containers are exchanged for a new filled container on a weekly basis.

2. If the containers are to remain on site, does the Government intend to accumulate containers over time, or return them periodically for reuse?

Answer - Containers are not accumulated as they are traded for a new one weekly.

3. Are there any Government specifications for the insulated containers (size, material, capacity, or labeling requirements), or is container selection at the contractor's discretion so long as the dry ice is maintained in acceptable condition through delivery?

Answer - it is contractor's discretion for the type of container they use, as long as it fills the required amount of dry ice that is required to last a week.

4. Are the insulated containers required for each delivery of single use, or does the government expect them to be returned and reused on subsequent deliveries?

Answer - Containers are exchanged for a new filled container on a weekly basis.

5. Is there an incumbent contractor currently performing this requirement, and if so, can you confirm the current delivery arrangement?

Answer - Yes, there is an incumbent contractor, the current delivery arrangement is as the solicitation is written.

6. Has the SBA issued a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule applicable to this procurement?

Answer - Yes, the SBA Non-Manufacturer Rule class waiver uncer NAICS code 325120 for GASES industrial (i.e. Compressed, Liquefied, solid), Manufacturing.

7. If no waiver exists, must the offered dry ice be manufactured by a qualifying U.S. small-business manufacturer?

Answer - SBA Non-Manufacturer Rule class waiver uncer NAICS code 325120 for GASES industrial (i.e. Compressed, Liquefied, solid), Manufacturing.

8. Will insulated containers remain at each delivery location or be exchanged with each delivery?

Answer - Containers are exchanged for a new filled container on a weekly basis and containers are not accumulated as they are traded for a new one weekly.

9. Is the required quantity measured upon acceptance after transportation-related sublimation?

Answer - No.

10. May delivery and fuel costs be included in the product pricing, or must they be quoted separately?

Answer - it is up to the offeror on how they want to price their proposal, however the proposed price has to be found to be fair and reasonable.

11. Are there any installation access requirements or vehicle restrictions contractors should consider?

Answer - Yes, the vehicle will need to enter a military installation with approved access to the military installation to reach the three (3) delivery locations.

Access. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within Army controlled installation, facility, or area. Contractors and all associated sub-contractors employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or CRDAMC Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by the Department of Defense (DOD), Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

12. May one vehicle service all three delivery locations during the required delivery window?

Answer - That is the contractor's discretion as long as they can fulfill the requirements as stated in the solicitation.

13. For the delivery of dry ice to the three locations, what size container(s) if multiple are the dry ice deliveries meant to be divided into? Since there are three deliveries (500, 500, and 100 pounds), should we deliver this amount in a single 500 lb insulated container or in smaller units?

Answer - Single 500# insulated containers for each location.

14. The solicitation lists Thursdays as the delivery days. We have multiple federal holidays that overlap with Thursdays during the solicitation period. For those weeks, should we deliver on that day, deliver ahead of that day, deliver extra the week before and extra the week after, or use another alternative?

Answer - Delivery would be the day prior to the holiday.

15. If we change drivers, how long will it take for them to complete the authentication process to access the installation?

Answer - We don't have an answer to that question because the installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or CRDAMC Security Office handles access to the installation.

Access. This standard language is for contractor employees with an area of performance within Army controlled installation, facility, or area. Contractors and all associated sub-contractors employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or CRDAMC Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204-9, Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by the Department of Defense (DOD), Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Paragraph (a) is hereby replaced with the following:

Award will be made using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose quote meets all Technical evaluation factors and whose price has been determined fair and reasonable. Award will be made to the responsible offeror on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

Award may be made without discussions with offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

EVALUATION PROCESS:

The government will initially list offers from lowest to highest price. The government will evaluate the lowest priced offer first. If that offer is determined technically unacceptable, the government will evaluate the next lowest priced offer and continue in that manner until an offer is rated Technically

Acceptable. If an offer is rated Technically Unacceptable, the Government will not evaluate any other subfactors. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVALUATE

ALL OFFERS.

The following evaluation factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical Acceptability: Offer will be found technically acceptable if the offer meets the performance requirements in the Special Terms and Conditions and all of the factors outline in the Solicitation.
