ADDITIONAL Q&A

1. Section L, paragraph 13 (page 106) states that offerors agree to hold prices firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, while FAR 52.212-1(b) (page 108) states 60 calendar days. Please confirm that the 90-day period in the Section L addendum governs.

Answer: Section L: Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 is accurate, The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers is the correct information. *Note FAR 52.212-1(b) states that the offeror agrees to hold the prices firm for 60 calendar days unless another time period is specified in an addendum.

2. Page 1 and Section M, paragraph 1 refer to a "single award." Please confirm that the

Government intends to make one award covering all CLINs, and that an offeror may not bid on or be awarded a subset of CLINs.

Answer: The Government intends to award one contract for all CLINs and an offeror may not bid on a subset of CLINS.

3. Section L, paragraph 4a and Section M, Factor 1 require a "capabilities statement" demonstrating logistics, hauling capacity, supply-chain readiness, and the ability to deliver all aggregate types. Please confirm the required contents, format, outline, page limits, and whether the Government expects supporting documentation (e.g., equipment lists, source gradations, past delivery records) to be attached.

• Answer: The Capabilities Statement must not exceed five (5) pages and must be submitted in

PDF format. It must demonstrate the offeror's feasible logistics, hauling capacity, and supply chain readiness to meet the ten (10) calendar day advance delivery notice timeframe. It must also demonstrate the ability to supply and deliver all four required types of aggregate materials

(AB-3, SA-1, SS-5, and FA-3) under FOB Destination terms directly to the designated Fort

Riley, Kansas locations. No physical material samples are required during the evaluation phase; laboratory certification documentation is sufficient. While equipment lists, source gradations, and past delivery records can be included to demonstrate logistics and supply-chain readiness, they must fit within the strict 5-page limit of the PDF Capabilities Statement.

4. Please confirm whether the Government treats this strictly as a supply contract (NAICS

212321), with hauling and delivery considered incidental to the supply. If so, please confirm that the supply-based thresholds under FAR 52.219-14 (Limitations on Subcontracting) apply (meaning the prime contractor must perform at least 50% of the cost of manufacturing/supplies), rather than the service-based thresholds.

Answer: The Nonmanufacturer Rule (13 CFR § 121.406 and FAR 52.219-33) applies. As specified in SOW Section 1.1, the contractor must supply aggregate materials that are mined, quarried, or produced by a domestic small business-owned quarry (as there is no SBA class waiver for NAICS 212321).

The supply-based limitations under FAR 52.219-14(e)(2) apply rather than service-based thresholds. Under a supply contract, if the prime contractor is a nonmanufacturer, they must comply with the Nonmanufacturer Rule requirements to supply the product of a small business manufacturer or producer.

5. Is the contractor required only to dump and stockpile materials at the designated sites, or will tailgate spreading be required at any delivery location?

Answer: Contractor is only required to dump and stockpile materials.

6. The 114-page Combined Synopsis/Solicitation was posted as an image-only PDF. Could a text-searchable copy be posted on SAM.gov?

Answer: The Government will not be posting a newly formatted version of the solicitation.

7. Could you also confirm the authorized commercial truck entrance and access route for each delivery location?

Answer: All commercial deliveries and aggregate haulers are restricted exclusively to the

12th Street Access Control Point (ACP) / Gate, except for Delivery to MPRC. No commercial access is necessary as the Main Range complex is off Hwy 77 in Riley County.

8. Can you provide the exact GPS coordinates or map pins for the following delivery points:

Range 18 – Tank Gunnery Range South, Vinton School Road

MPRC – Tank Gunnery Range North, US Highway 77

Main Post – Building 352, Public Works Yard

Main Post – Building 318, Salt Barn

Answer: The Government will not release exact GPS coordinates for delivery points, however the maximum one-way distance from the commercial entry gate to the furthest delivery point is less than 6.5 miles.
