About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document addressing contractor inquiries regarding a dry ice delivery contract at a government facility (CCAD).
Container and Delivery Requirements: The contractor must furnish three ultra-cold-temperature-engineered containers with a minimum capacity of 240 pounds of dry ice and dimensions of 42" x 28" x 35.2" (or 27½ x 39 7/16 x 43), to be stationed at DCRF, Building 8 (P62B4 T-700 Compressor Shop), and Building 49 (P61B1 Rotary Wing 1/1st floor in 1st booth). The delivery vehicle may remain inside CCAD for the entire route after the driver obtains proper clearance; no separate escorts are required. Invoicing and Verification: Payment is based on actual accepted pounds delivered, verified by supplier scale tickets rather than government scales or packaged net weight. Any quantity changes to Attachment 2 must be coordinated through the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR); contractors must not fulfill direct shop floor requests. Pricing and Access: Offerors cannot quote different per-pound prices for block, slab/block, and pellet CLINs—all pricing must be unified. The COR can provide temporary escorts for approved substitute drivers without DBIDS/CAC access, though CCAD requests contractors obtain required access as soon as reasonably possible; only one COR is currently available. Invoicing Schedule and Containers: Contractors may submit invoices weekly or monthly through WAWF, with the government preferring submission as soon as possible. No additional amendment or Q&A will be issued regarding final container requirements; the government requests containers suitable for long-term staging in south Texas weather conditions.
