About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document dated August 6, 2025, addressing contractor inquiries about a federal Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) solicitation for supplies including electrical and hardware components. The document clarifies that no detailed parts list is provided upfront, as specific supplies will be identified per individual BPA calls issued under the agreement. Contractors seeking multiple BPAs may submit the same Customer Past Performance Questionnaires across applications, with completed questionnaires required as part of proposal submission per Section M Paragraph 3.0 B(2)(b).
The Q&A resolves confusion about proposal structure, confirming there are three volumes required: Volume I Technical (Corporate Capacity and Key Personnel), Volume II Past Performance, and Volume III Price (Standard Form 1449 and pricing schedule per Attachment 01). The government references Section L for proposal preparation instructions and indicates a revised Section L will be provided to clarify the volume requirements. No specific number of past performance questionnaires is mandated, and no example formats are available beyond what is specified in the solicitation instructions.

Questions and Answers Document
06 Aug 2025
The following questions and answers are provided for informational purposes only:
Question 1: I have reviewed the documents but have not found a detailed list of the parts required. There is only a general listing under the continuation. Please advise if there is a document that I have missed.
Answer 1: No documents are missing. Correct, the continuation of description, under Section #2, Requirement, lists the required supplies. Specific supplies will be provided per BPA call issued. Please reference Section L – Proposal Preparation and Submission Instructions.
Question 2: How many client past performance questionnaires will need to be submitted with application?
Answer 2: There is no specified number.
Question 3: Is there an example of the format that is required?
Answer 3: No, we do not have an example format that we can provide. However, please reference Section L – Proposal Preparation and Submission Instructions, Section #2, Proposal Preparation Instructions for the required format.
QuesƟon 4: If a contractor is going aŌer more than one BPA (Electrical, Hardware, etc.), can the contractor use the same Customer Past Performance QuesƟonnaire for each one?
a. We are trying not to completely overwhelm our customers with a requirement to fill out 5 PPQs and send them in 5 separate emails within 2-3 weeks.
b. Our preference would be for the customer to fill out one PPQ with data from each of the up to 5 BPAs in the AdministraƟve data at the top. And then be able to send out a blanket email with each of the BPA POCs (like yourself) in the ‘to’ line. The only concern here would be the subject line.
c. Would the Government be amenable to this?
d. If we were authorized to do this, how would the Government like the subject line to read?
Answer 4: Completed Past Performance QuesƟonnaires should be submiƩed with your proposal as stated in SecƟon M Paragraph 3.0 B(2)(b.)
QuesƟon 5: In the Addendum to 52.212-1 InstrucƟons to Offerors, SecƟon L, Proposal Content, the Government states there are 2 volumes under paragraphs 3.1 Volume I - Technical Proposal and 3.2. Volume II – Price Proposal.
However, in the Addendum to EvaluaƟon, SecƟon M, Paragraph 3.0 EvaluaƟon Factors it lists 3 volumes –
• FACTOR 1 VOLUME 1 Technical - Offerors shall describe their Corporate Capacity and Key Personnel.
• FACTOR 2 VOLUME 2 Past Performance - Offeror shall demonstrate past performance.
• FACTOR 3 VOLUME 3 Price - Standard Form 1449 and pricing schedule (Reference AƩachment 01).
a. Will the government clarify how many volumes there are and what is in each one?
Answer 5: See attached revised Section L.
