2. FAR 52.225-2 Buy American Certificate (May 2014) is hereby deleted from this solicitation.

8. The Government has received questions concerning the solicitation and hereby provides answers to these questions.

Questions may be of general interest of all Offerors/Government. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors for information purposes only.

Offeror must acknowledge receipt of this amendment by the date specified in the solicitation (or as amended) by signing block 15 below, by acknowledging receipt of this amendment on each copy of the offer submitted or by separate letter or telegram which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers. FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AMENDMENTS BY THE DATE AND TIME

SPECIFIED MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR QUOTE.

All other terms and conditions remain the same.

Questions and Answers The Government has received the following questions concerning the solicitation and provides the following answers to these questions:

Question #1: Does the Trade Agreement Act apply to solicitation number W912BU-15-R-0027, waiving the Buy American Act requirements for good coming out of Trade Agreement Act countires?

Answer #1: Pursuant to FAR 25.402(a)(1), this acquisition is covered by DFARS 252.225-7021, Trade Agreements. Please see page 46 of the RFP which includes this clause by reference. An amendment will be issued to add DFARS 252.225-7020, Trade Agreements Certificate, which was inadvertently not included in the solicitation. We will also delete FAR 52.225-1 & 52.225-2. There will not be a time extension associated with this amendment.

Question #2: On page 98 section (1)(b) the Government asks for SF 33 to be duly executed and to include offerors CAGE code and DUNS number in block 15. The problem is that the Government used SF 1449 instead of SF 33. In addition, in section (1)(c) located on page 98, the Government references SF 33 as well for acknowledging the amendments. Can you provide direction and clarity?

Answer #2: The contractor shall include contractor’s CAGE number, DUNS number, and signature by an official authorized to bind the company on block 30 of the SF 1449. The contractor must also acknowledge all amendments in the space provided on the SF 1449 or by signing block 15 of the SF30 and include as part of their proposal. This amendment will correct the language in the RFP.

Question #3: On page 99, in section II(a), the RFP states that the offeror to complete and submit section B in its entirety. The RFP does not have a section B but the SF 1449 does have continuation sheets. Can I assume the continuation sheets are section B?

Answer #3: Yes, the contractor shall complete and submit the continuation sheets in its entirety. This amendment will correct the language in the RFP.

Revised Paragraph (1)(b)

The SF 1449 duly executed with an original signature by an official authorized to bind the company. Include the Offeror’s CAGE and DUNS number in Block 30.

Revised Paragraph (1)(c)

Offeror must acknowledge all amendments by the date specified in the solicitation (or as amended) by one of the following methods: in the space provided on the SF 1449, or by signing the block 15 of the SF30 and including as part of their proposal.

Revised Paragraph (2)(a)

The offeror shall complete and submit the continuation sheets in its entirety.
