All other terms and conditions are unchanged as a result of this modification. Jeannie Ortiz Contracting Officer Page 4 of 4 The SOW's quarterly SPS work lists three mixed-bed tanks, part W5TDIMB10360FSP, and replacement based on monthly evaluations. Base CLIN 0006 lists four. What tank quantity and evaluation/replacement frequency should bidders include each year? ANSWER: We evaluate daily, in-house, and swap as needed. We seem to go through about 1 a month, but when water usage is heavy, it can mean swapping tanks more than once a month, which would mean up to 4 a quarter we need to have provided to us. Historically we have them deliver 2-3 at a time to have staged and ready to replace the ones that are currently in use as they become expended. The SOW's annual SPS work lists one W2T915015 vent filter, while base CLIN 0002 lists four. Which annual quantity controls, including the option years? ANSWER: Price your offer at a quantity of 4, as listed in the SOW. The Government only pays for what is under contract and only for what is actually rendered, therefore, should only one of these be needed, any excess funding under contract can be deobligated at the end of the base year. The service-personnel section refers to training, licenses/certifications and a minimum experience level. Which specific technical credentials and minimum experience are required for technicians and their supervisor? Section D requires all required certifications with the offer, while the SOW requests copies within three business days after award. Please identify what must accompany the offer and what may be provided after award. We understand VA privacy training is required before or at arrival. ANSWER: The Contracting Officer s (my) requirement is with the offer for evaluation purposes. Who is the current contractor, and could you share the current contract number? ANSWER: There is no current contractor. Is the equipment Evoqua/Mar Cor, and do the technicians need to be certified by the maker? ANSWER: The equipment is Evoqua equipment and as these are no longer under warranty, no, technicians do not necessarily need to be certified by the OEM. Will a company with no federal past performance receive a neutral rating? ANSWER: Per FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv), offerors without a record of relevant past performance will receive a 'neutral' rating. Under federal procurement rules, an agency cannot evaluate an offeror favorably or unfavorably simply because they lack prior contract
