W911RQ-19-R-0018 Questions and Answers 18 July 2019 Q1: Are you asking for a storage tank with the gas or a tank that can be installed in the suppression system? There is a vast difference and we need to ensure we quote the correct item.

A1: Purchase Description, RFQ W911RQ-19-R-0018, page 6 of 38, paragraph 1:

“Contractor shall deliver 72 hours after receipt of the first Delivery Order. Contractor shall pick up empty cylinders when deliveries are made for new cylinder(s)).”

The Contractor shall deliver the ordered quantity per delivery order of 1,200 pound cylinders containing the FM200 or equal and shall replace empty cylinders with full ones.

“Contractor shall not execute delivery without a delivery order that specifies the quantity ordered. At the end of the contract, the contractor shall pick up all remaining empty cylinders at RRAD.”

23 July 2019 Q2: From our interpretation of the Solicitation it appears that you are requesting pricing for FM200 Agent in Bulk Containers not System Cylinders. System cylinders are for individual installations and vary by manufacturer. In other words the System Cylinders are not interchangeable between manufacturers whereas Bulk FM200 is used to refill existing System Cylinder for any brand.

A2: Purchase Description, RFQ W911RQ-19-R-0018, page 5 of 38, paragraph 1:

“The contractor shall provide HEPTAFLUOROPROPANE, DuPont FM200 or equal in 1,200 pound cylinders.”

The Items are individualized cylinders, weight approx. 1,200 lbs. As the cylinders are connected, they provide material to fill fire extinguisher programs. As material is emptied from the cylinders they are disconnected awaiting for pick-up.
