The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDMENT NOTES

1. The purpose of this amendment is to provide revised answers to contractor questions, attach a revised statement of work, provide a copy of the ISO 14001‐2015 certification, and to extend the closing date of the solicitation.

2. The answers to questions 1‐6 and 9 have been revised. The answers are below.

3. The revised statement of work has added as an attachment to the solicitation post. Document is name Attachment 1 Statement of Work (7‐17‐23).

4. The 2022‐2025 ISO 14001‐2015 Certification has been added as an attachment to the solicitation.

5. The solicitation closing date has been extended to 24 July 2023 at 10 am Central Standard Time.

6. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Revised Answers

1. Section 2.4 of the SOW requires a gap analysis report. Such a report is provided by consultants and not accredited Certification Bodies (CBs). The Audit Report contains all nonconformances, observations, and areas of conformance. The SOW should be revised to remove the gap analysis report.

Please see Section 2.4 of the amended SOW. The requirement of a gap analysis report has been removed.

2. Section 2.5 of the SOW indicates a “Master Lead Auditor”. There is no such term in our industry. Auditors are Certified as Lead, Auditor, or Provision Auditor. The SOW must be revised to remove this term.

Please see Section 2.5 of the amended SOW. The reference to a Master Lead Auditor has been removed.

3. Section 2.5.1 is overly restrictive and is not relevant to the ISO 14001 certification. Federal installations including ANAD are not required to comply with state or local environmental laws or regulations. Federal laws apply.

Please see Section 2.5.1 of the amended SOW. ANAD is subject to and must comply with all state environmental laws and regulations, which are managed by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Consequently, significant experience with Alabama environmental laws and regulations is essential in assessing ANAD’s environmental management system in conjunction with an ISO 14001 environmental management system surveillance audit.

4. Section 2.5.3 is overly restrictive and limits fair and open competition. This requirement is not necessary for an auditor to perform ISO 14001 certification audits.

Please see Section 2.5.3 of the amended SOW. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is the most significant governing environmental regulation that ANAD must follow and has the highest risk to ANAD’s operating industrial base. Consequently, significant experience with RCRA is essential in assessing ANAD’s environmental management system in conjunction with an ISO 14001 environmental management system surveillance audit.

5. Section 2.5.4 is overly restrictive and limits fair and open competition. This requirement is not necessary for an auditor to perform ISO 14001 certification audits.

Please see Section 2.5.4 of the amended SOW. The Clean Water Act (CWA) is one of the primary governing environmental regulations that ANAD must follow, and ANAD must comply with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. Consequently, significant experience with environmental water programs to include water quality, wastewater, stormwater, CWA and NPDES permits is essential in assessing ANAD’s environmental management system in conjunction with an ISO 14001 environmental management system surveillance audit.

W911KF23Q0036

6. Section 2.5.5 is overly restrictive and limits fair and open competition. This requirement is not necessary for an auditor to perform ISO 14001 certification audits.

Please see Section 2.5.5 of the amended SOW. ANAD’s industrial operations include low-level radiation and radioactive waste storage that have a potential environmental impact. Consequently, significant experience with radioactive waste storage facility environmental regulatory compliance is essential in assessing ANAD’s environmental management system in conjunction with an ISO 14001 environmental management system surveillance audit.

9. Please provide a copy of the current ISO 14001 certificate issued to ANAD. The certificate is a public document and not subject to FOIA. Please do not respond that this certificate is not needed at this time or that it will be provided post award. All CBs must verify the authenticity of a certificate at the time of bidding.

A copy of the current ISO 14001 certificate issued to ANAD is provided as an attachment to the amended Solicitation.
