Description

Amendment 0001 Pre-Solicitation Notice Building 4, Del Din, Vicenza, Italy W912GB-15-R-0025 Amendment 0001 to Pre-Solicitation: The purpose of this amendment is to answer requests for information and update the pre-solicitation notice. 1.Question: I am contacting you to show some interest in the subject opportunity. We have been analyzing the Solicitation and we are kind of concern about the SOA requirement. As the host country (Italy) belongs to the European Union, you may know that all the Member States are in the Common European Market, so all the countries shall have the fair opportunity to compete for this effort. We would like to remark that Company X has a Branch Office in Italian soil from which it operates in the whole country. However, despite of having all the official documents needed: Documento Unico di Regolarit Contributiva (DURC), Certificato Anti-mafia, Nulla Osta, Registro a la Camera di Commercio etc... we do not hold the Italian SOA because we can use the Spanish classifications, which are equivalent. Being said that, instead of the SOA Certification, which is only for Italian companies, we would like to request the possibility of including in lieu of the SOA Certification, an equivalent document, issued by a competent authority of any member country of the European Union. A third competent party shall certify (in English) that the document is equivalent to the Italian SOA classifications required for this bid, just as we have been addressed to do in other projects within the US Department of Defense. Additionally, we can include the Italian classifications through a Letter of Commitment with a Designated Subcontractor. Answer: The Italian pre-qualification requirements may not be satisfied with the submission of European Union certifications instead of Italian pre-qualification requirements. Therefore, the Offerors must provide copies of its Italian certifications. The SOA registration is required by Italian Law. The SOA registration cannot be avoided and the Offerors must provide copies of its Italian certifications. 2.Question: We would be grateful if you could confirm that the documents requested to demonstrate compliance with the qualification requirements are to be provided at the next stage (prequalification stage) of this procedure. Otherwise, please inform us what documentation we need to submit at this stage. Answer: As stated in the pre-solicitation notice: quote mark Pre-Qualification: All interested firms are requested to demonstrate compliance with the qualification requirements as stated below in this document. Firms shall submit material as stated below that demonstrates that they meet the qualification requirements, not later than 1500 hours Central European Time (CET) on 30 April 2015. quote mark 3.Question: Pursuant to the public notice, all Offerors interested in such procedure must furnish all documentation complying with the following specific clauses: 1. 52.000-4090, 2. 52.000-4091, 3. 52.225-4002. I wanted to know if the following documentation is suffice to meet the requirements set out in the aforementioned clauses or if specific forms have been set out and must be adopted by the Offerors. 1. 52.000-4090 - copy of SOA certification provided by the competent certified body; 2. 52.000-4091 - a declaration ( quote mark autocertificazione quote mark ) signed by the company's legal representative confirming that the company meets such requirements; 3. 52.225-4002 - a declaration ( quote mark autocertificazione quote mark ) signed by the company's legal representative confirming that the company and all the relevant people meet such requirements.
