Please fill in the tables below regarding the types of set-aside categories your business qualifies for Business Name ______________________ Cage Code Small Business Veteran Owned SDVOSB WOSB 8A HubZone Other (Attach additional pages) Can you manufacture blouses? Can you manufacture Trousers? General Questions Could your firm support making both the blouse and trouser items simultaneously? If so, is your production capacity affected when manufacturing simultaneously? Given the production lead time of 180 days, would it be a hardship to extend the first term by 6 months, resulting in an 18 month base term, 1 18 month term, and two 12 month terms for a total of 5 years? If your firm were to be selected as an awardee, would scenario outlined above would best fit your manufacturing capability? Based on the lots presented, and excluding any sub-contracting, would you offer on one or more lots? If so, which one(s)? Based on the lots presented, and including any sub-contracting, would you offer on one or more lots? If so, which one(s)? Do you feel that the lots presented represent enough to be sustainable for your firm? Are they too small? Too Large? Are you currently manufacturing under other contracts that may affect your ability to meet the above outlined requirements? What is the minimum monthly production quantity required to be economically producible? What is the maximum monthly production quantity without incurring additional costs? The production lead time associated with this item is 180 days. Is this realistic? Can you provide better terms? Terms _____________ What is the material/labor ratio (as it is related to costs) for manufacturing this item? Would you be able to provide pricing on the item(s) for the base contract year (1 year) and any option year(s)? That is, could you price items out 2 years, 3 years, 4 years or 5 years? If no, please state why. The Government typically requires 30 days for the manufacture and delivery of the first article for this item. Is this an adequate amount of time for this item given the ordering and receipt of components? If not, please provide a more appropriate amount of time and provide the reasons why you need the additional time. The production lead time (PLT) for this item is 180 days. Given the 30 day delivery time and additional 30 days for government testing, would delivery of the initial order be affected or is 180 days a sufficient PLT? Can your company accommodate a Surge Requirement in which your company would be required to satisfy requirements for emergency situations (i.e., ramp up to meet early requirements (surge) and/or requirements that may exceed estimated annual quantities)?
