Q1. Reference W912GB19Q0009, page 8 of 41, 52.000-4090 S.O.A.s, it is stated: “the offerors must comply with D.P.R. n.34 of 25 January 2000…” and must furnish documentation within their proposal. In addition, “offerors must provide their S.O.A reflecting eligibility to bid on the work solicited, […] the prevailing work categories and classification are described in the pre-solicitation notice and in this solicitation”. There is no pre-solicitation notice regarding this opportunity and nowhere else in the solicitation there are specifications about S.O.A., please confirm that no S.O.A. qualification are required.

Government Answer:

Q2. Reference Scope of Work, Freezer and Oven requirements: “manufacturer’s warranty shall be a minimum of 10 years”. In the industrial and commercial European market, the warranty is of 1 year only (IAW legal requirements). Manufacturers do not extend the standard warranty up to 10 years. A revision of this requirement would allow all bidders to be in compliance with SOW based upon actual up to date standards. Could the Government revise this requirement accordingly?

Government Answer: With regard to warranty, there are different requirements depending on the region that the products are purchased from. Gewaehrleistung is required by law (Buergerliches Geseztbuch) to have a 24 month warranty period for new products. For Garantie, it is offered by the seller, normally for 12 to 24 months. The same appears true under Italian Law (Codice del Consumo). As such, two options have been added to the solicitation. Please submit a price for a normal warranty (2 years) and one which provides an extended guarantee (10 years). Please provide a statement of the conditions and terms for each warranty. If one or neither warranties are feasble, provide the documentation as to why with the proposal. Award to one of the options will be made at award based upon what is most favorable to the government.

Q3. Reference Scope of Work, Freezer requirements:

1. “injected high-density foam panel unit construction 120 mm plasticized galvanized steel”

2. “The freezer shall be rated for exterior use in the climate that it will be installed. It shall be weatherproof or provided with a secured protective covering to deflect weather from damaging the unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions”.

Freezers equipped with high-density foam panels shall not be installed outdoors, actually the exterior use is not recommended, nor are they meant to be directly exposed to weather.

With the sentence “…provided with a secured protective covering…” is the Government expecting offerors to price the installation of a shelter on top of the freezer?

Government Answer: The primary intent of the scope of work is to provide an exterior walk-in freezer capable of achieving the specified temperature range identified. So long as the Offeror provides an exterior rated freezer, the Government does not anticipate a shelter. The intent of a protective covering would be limited to any weather sensitive components such as wiring connections, switches, etc. It is recommended that the Offeror submits his quote IAW the technical specifications clearly citing any variations in product requirements such as a different insulation type. This will be further reviewed during the submittal review process.

Q.4 If the answer to Q3 is Yes, please provide specific requirements for a protective cover in order to allow all bidder to quote the same item with their offer.

Government Answer: Not anticipated.
