MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Solicitation W912D0-17-T-0001, Questions and Answers

Question: What is a Blanket Purchasing Agreement?

Answer: Please see FAR Subpart 16.7—Agreements and DFARS Subpart 216.7— Agreements http://farsite.hill.af.mil/

Question: Could we get a list of the vehicles for the fittings and how many?

Answer: Please look at amended solicitation. The requirement is to establish a Blanket Purchasing Agreement (BPA) for future projects. Thus, I do not have this type of information for vehicles. This is a request for proposal to identify capable vendors and identify what type of overall discount you will provide on equipment/installation services.

Question: Would you like me to quote the most cost effective solution that meets specification of a "Lightbar" or should I quote what the bases have a history of buying? The same concerns could be applied to several of the line items, driving Lights for example. Again, I could quote a cheap import product, or something a little higher quality.

Answer: Please look at amended solicitation; this information is no longer requested.

The item list identifies the types of products/services that may be required in the future.

This information is provided so you can determine whether you are interested. At a minimum, the government is requesting a discount and we want the discount to be identified as part of your proposal.

Question: How would you like me to quote the installation prices?

Answer: Please look at amended solicitation; this information is no longer requested.

Question: I do not see a field to provide the specification related to the offer. How will you determine the suitability of the proposed item?

Answer: Please look at amended solicitation; this information is no longer requested.

Question: If the proposer prices a specific model that is not what is eventually specified, how will the Army account for the difference in price later when there is a specification?

Answer: Each retrofit of a vehicle will be evaluated by the requiring activity on a case-by-case basis to determine the specific needs of that vehicle. This will be identified at the time of need

Question: What is intended by “Radio Communications”?

Answer: Vehicle mounted radios and associated accessories
