Vendor Question Government Response

1. If both sides agree on the terms so that we can collaborate we would like to know if it works for you that we as Company X will be the contractor to you, however we will instruct a third party which will take care of the work?

1. It is Company X’s business decision whether to subcontract work. During performance of the contract, the Government will communicate only with the Prime Contractor.

Note: Para 3.a. FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items states: “Quotes will be evaluated to determine compliance with all requirements of the solicitation…” Para 3.c.

states: “To be considered for selection a quote must conform to all terms and conditions contained in the solicitation.”

2. - did we get it right that the annual turnover has to be 750.000 EUR? If yes, is it fine that our contractor reaches the turnover?

2. With reference to the Technical Experience and Past Performance requirements, the amount 750,000.00 € refers to the value of each reference contract in the reference sheet.

It is NOT the contractor’s annual turnover.

This amount may also be your subcontractor’s reference.

3. We would greatly appreciate if you can provide us with a three-week extension of the deadline for the subject referenced solicitation…

3. At this time the Government will not extend the date and time for submission of quotes.
