SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

Q&A'S

Questions Responses

Q-1) I noticed "Multiple purchase orders may be issued to various vendors based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quote" - does this mean that the gov't can cherry pick individual products (listed in TECHNICAL EXHIBIT A) line-by-line based on lowest price and award (only) those to the bidder?

A-1) The requirement is being advertised for the third (3rd) time.

RFQs # W9114F-20-Q-0064 and RFQ # W9114F- 20-Q-0098 were issued to award one (1) single Purchase Order to one (1) Quoter, for ALL items listed in Technical Exhibit A.

Both RFQs were cancelled, as no vendor was able to submit a Technical Acceptable quote for ALL items.

Quotes in response to this RFQ will be technically evaluated by the end-user.

Based on quotes/items technical acceptability, the US Government reserves the right to offer multiple Purchase Orders for partial deliveries, to vendors that have proven submission of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable quotes.

Vendors will retain the rights to accept or decline the offered purchase orders.

Q-2) In the solicitation (page 37) EVALUATION FACTORS FACTOR 1: Technical Factor has three

(3) sub-factors.

FAR 52.212-2 states:

(i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement;

(ii) price;

(iii) past performance.

Our question: what are the requirements for past performance? (how many, how recent, at what value, etc etc?)

A-2) In accordance to FAR Provision 52.212-2 evaluations will be based on:

- FACTOR 1 – Technical

- FACTOR 2 – Price

Factor 1- Technical, has three (3) sub-factors.

Past Performance is not listed in any FAR Provision 52.212-2 factors or sub-factors.

W9114F21Q0007

Q-3) Page 38 states: The technical quote shall not exceed 20 pages, font size 12.

Page limitations shall be treated as maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the quote. Your technical quote shall be structured as a written narrative to address what the Government is asking for in the afore-mentioned technical factors and sub-factors.

Our question: what do we need to write to / what is the gov't expecting from bidders in order to satify this requirement?

A-3) Technical Exhibit A lists more than 400 items.

Vendors have the opportunity to submit selected manufacturers’ catalogs, pictures, and items descriptions, up to 20 pages.
