- Description
- 1)Question: What is the expected annual delivery requirement for the 36% Ferric Chloride? 1)Answer: The usual delivery of ferric chloride is three to four a year approximately 2000 gallons each delivery. 2)Question: The solicitation states that approx. 1500 gallons of 50% Ferric Chloride will be needed. However, the question answered in the amended version suggests that yearly consumption is up to 8000 gallons. 1500 gallons is only ~19% of the yearly usage. Is the 1500 gallon figure accurate? 3)Answer: Yes, I could use approximately 8,000 gallons in a year. However, there is only enough capacity for 3,000 gallons. Therefore, I place orders in the amount of 1,500 to 2,000 gallons on each delivery. The combined synopsis/ solicitation number is W91ZLK-11-T-0127.

The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103.
