SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002 REPONSE TO RFIS

Leased Vehicle Support, Israel

Amendment 0002

Requests for Information (RFIs)/Questions

QUESTION RESPONSE Amendment 21 Are crossover vehicles such as the

Toyota Rav4 which is considered a Crossover vehicle between a Sedan and SUV acceptable?

A crossover vehicle is acceptable as long as it meets all other RFQ Performance Work Statement requirements.

22 After award can we have the names of the people that will operate the vehicles?

Refer to the RFQ requirements and the response to Amendment 0001 Question #15.

23 Response to Question 10: The response references 2019 model year as the requirement. Most manufacturers closed out 2019 production in July/August.

While it may be possible that providers have 2019 vehicles in stock that meet all of the criteria, any vehicles ordered to your specifications would arrive as 2020 model year. Can we safely assume that 2020 models are acceptable if we wish to provide brand new vehicles?

Refer to the RFQ Performance Work Statement (PWS) which states: “At award for the Base Year, the vehicle manufacturer date shall not be less than a model year 2019 at the time of delivery and with no more than 6,250 miles or kilometer equivalent of 10,000 kilometers.” A 2020 model year vehicle therefore would be acceptable.

24 Page 39, DFAR 252.229-7000 (229.402-

1) and 252.229-7001 (229.402-70(a)) only apply when a contract is awarded to a foreign concern for performance in a foreign country. On the RFQ page 55, Instructions to Offerors says “this procurement will be restricted to U.S.

firms only”, it appears these clauses may not apply to this procurement. If the clauses excluded VAT from being included in the rate or included on an invoice, and the US Government under the SOFA (Pg. 40, Item 2) is exempt from paying Israeli taxes, how should VAT now be reflected?

Remember this is a Foreign Military Sales funded contract, requiring only award to a US Contractor. The VAT requirements apply to the US Contractor’s payment of VAT and their entitlement to reimbursement of VAT in accordance with the process and procedures provided in the RFQ.

Pertaining to VAT, the proposal submission and invoicing after award shall be completed in accordance with the

RFQ.
