Q: Is it permissible to provide Days After Proof Approval (DAPA) for delivery time?

A: Yes, Please do that as in the solicitation Q: Is the bid all or nothing?

A: Yes as stated in the first paragraph of the solicitation. Partial offers will not be evaluated Q: In regards to Made in America. Most of the items on the RFQ are made in China, and not usually warehoused in sufficient quantity, so the supplier will quote the vendor a price, but the item will come from China.

A: Per my spreadsheet, I ask for country of origin of the supply you are offering. We are aware that most items are made outside the U.S., but I must show compliance with the Buy American Act (BAA). If you don’t submit the Country of Origin (COO), I have no basis to make my determination, therefore your quote will be found unacceptable in the review process.

Q: Have any of the items been done before, and if so what was the winning bid?

A: some of the items requested have been procured on previous contracts, but not all. I will not give you the winning bid, or a breakdown of each item and the winning amounts.
