ETSSLS Solicitation W911QY19R0003 Questions & Answers

1. Section B, CLINs 0001, 0005 and 0006: In Section B, these 3 CLINs are FOB Destination, but in Section E these three CLINs are listed as FOB Origin. Which is correct?

Answer: FOB Destination is correct, as is Inspection and Acceptance at Origin for CLINs 0001, 0005 and 0006. Shipping is required during the performance of the requirement. However, these costs cannot be accurately forecast at this time due to the uncertainty of where the finished units may be required. Therefore, shipping will be negotiated at the Delivery Order level when shipping destinations are known.

CLIN 0008 has been added to the solicitation to support shipping costs against individual delivery orders.
