About this file
This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document clarifying solicitation requirements for a dry ice supply contract.
The contract involves delivering dry ice in block or slab form to multiple delivery points on a recurring schedule. Annual quantities are 340,080 pounds across CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001, and 4001, with the quantities classified as estimated rather than guaranteed minimums. Offerors must submit separate unit pricing per pound for the base year and all four option years, with all costs including transportation, fuel, delivery, and handling incorporated into the quoted unit price rather than priced separately. The applicable NAICS code is 325120. Deliveries are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays during CCAD work hours of 0600–1530, with flexibility to reschedule federal holiday deliveries to other days within the same week or adjacent business days. The contractor is responsible for unloading and physically placing dry ice at delivery points. While the Government will provide containers at most sites, some sites will require contractor-supplied containers. Product specifications regarding slab weight (60 lb) and dimensions (2" x 2" x 10") are not mandatory, as the shop may break down blocks upon arrival. Quantities in Attachment 2 represent estimated quantities for planning purposes.
