1 Addendum to Section M (Solicitation doc

pg. 91-92)

Section M - Factors for Award states "The government will evaluate offers and make an award decision considering technical acceptability, price, and other information available to the

Government including past performance information obtained from CPARS or other sources", however it then states "Past performance is not an evaluation factor but will be reviewed as part of the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination under

FAR Part 9". Will the government confirm that Past Performance is

NOT an evaluation factor and will only be used IAW FAR Subpart

9.1 to determine responsibility of the firm AFTER evaluation and prior to award?

Past Performance is not an evaluation factor but will be reviewed as part of the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination under

FAR Part 9.

Prior to award, the Government reserves the right to conduct a responsibility determination in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.1. As part of this determination, the Government may review past performance information for the apparent successful offeror from sources such as CPARS and the Supplier Performance Risk System

(SPRS) to assess performance risk. An offeror without a record of relevant past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably.

20 General I just wanted to clarify the maintenance frequency. After reading through the contract. I didn’t notice any specifications regarding monthly maintenance. Can you please clarify if monthly maintenance on all units are required? In reading this this paragraph below, it doesn’t specify monthly maintenance. So if I was to bid this with this current language I would not bid it with monthly maintenance. It will need to specify monthly maintenance.

Frequency of Preventive Maintenance is to be Montly; applicable to

ALL units listed in referenced Technical Exhibits (TE) 1 thru 6, as mentioned in PWS Section 8.2.

Updates to PWS Section 8.2, 8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.2.3, 8.2.4 titles.

8.2 Monthly Preventive Maintenance (PM)

8.2.1 Monthly Preventive Maintenance Schedule

8.2.2 Monthly Preventive Maintenance/Inspection and Minor

Repairs (Hydraulic/Traction Elevators and Lifts)

8.2.3 Monthly Preventive Maintenance Requirements

8.2.4 Monthly Preventive Maintenance Report

21 General While reviewing the bid documents, I noticed that the attached

Standard Form 1449 contains a "DRAFT" watermark. Would it be acceptable for us to complete and submit the form as provided, or would you prefer that we use a version without the watermark?

Solicitation Amendment 0001 has an updated SF1449 without the

DRAFT watermark for interested vendors to submit their offers. Please submit offer on Amended Solicitation document - W912CN26QA031

Solicitation Amendment 0001 28JUL2026.

22 General Are we to use SF1449? It currently shows the Draft. Please advise. Solicitation Amendment 0001 has an updated SF1449 without the

DRAFT watermark for interested vendors to submit their offers. Please submit offer on Amended Solicitation document - W912CN26QA031

Solicitation Amendment 0001 28JUL2026.

23 General Is it possible to get a copy of the most recent bid results for this portfolio?

No. We will not be distributing past bid results to interested vendors.

24 General Could you please clarify the criteria that distinguishes a minor repair, which is included under the Preventive Maintenance and

Service Call CLINs, from a major repair under CLIN 0008?

Could you please identify the Government's criteria for determining when a repair requires a separate proposal and Task Order?

PWS 8.2 Monthly Preventive Maintenance CLINs are to conducted based on the vendors suggested schedule.

PWS 8.5 Urgent/Routine Call CLINs are for Services Call outside of the

Monthly Preventive Maintenance schedule. PWS 8.6 is the similar to

PWS 8.5 with Emergency response times.

PWS 8.5 "If repair work goes beyond a routine service call..." the call then gets elevated to PWS 8.7. PWS 8.7 criteria applies when work is beyond the scope of PWS 8.2 and/or 8.5.
