Vendor Questions and Answers Ft Hood Building Convection Microwaves 9420-9425

W912DY-26-Q-A049

17 February 2025

1. Regarding Attachment 2, Section 8.3 (AP08), the current specification requires a minimum capacity of 1.2 cu. ft.. While the government has indicated a preference for certain dimensions, our market research has identified a 1.6 cu. ft. convection model that meets or exceeds all other technical salient features, including the 900W minimum power and stainless steel finish requirements.

Importantly, we can secure this 1.6 cu. ft. unit at a lower total cost to the government than the 1.5 cu. ft. models currently available in the commercial marketplace.

Could you please clarify if the government will accept a 1.6 cu. ft. unit as a "Technically Acceptable" substitution, provided it meets all other SOW requirements and offers a better value/price point?

HNC RESPONSE: Vendor shall submit a microwave that meets or exceeds the FID requirements while also staying within the dimensional requirements.

2. Existing Appliances

Please confirm whether the contractor is required to disconnect, remove, and dispose of existing microwave units in Buildings 9420–9425, or whether existing units will be removed by the Government prior to installation of the new microwave convection ovens.

HNC RESPONSE: There are no existing microwaves to be removed.

3. Microwave Configuration Please confirm that the required microwave convection ovens are freestanding countertop units, and that no over-the-range mounting or venting is required under this scope.

HNC RESPONSE: These units will be placed on a shelf above the countertop, but do not require any special venting.

4. Material-Handling Equipment

Table 1 notes that forklift use is permitted at the site. Please confirm that all material-handling equipment, including forklifts if required, is to be provided by the contractor as part of contract performance.

HNC RESPONSE: Yes, vendor will need to provide all their own equipment for the material handling.

5. Electrical Accessories Please confirm whether the contractor is required to furnish all power cords and accessories necessary to provide fully operational microwave convection ovens at installation. This does not include the power cords that already a part of the appliances.
