- Description
- AMENDMENT 3 (May 14, 2020): Below please find a Vendor Question and Government Answer in response to the Chemical Mechanical Planarization System Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (Amendment 2): Vendor Question: Could you please confirm the dimensions for the system as it is being moved in? Government Answer: The dimensions listed in SOW (Page 3) are the correct dimensions for the system in its operating configuration.� When assembled, the tool will have a footprint not to exceed 72� width, 97� depth, and 92� height in order to fit within the laboratory space with required minimum clearances from walls or other structures.� For delivery however, the tool may be packaged by the vendor in several crates, the maximum dimensions of which will not exceed 57� width, 97� length, and 82� height (including means of transport).� The height restriction for components being moved in (82�) is less than the permissible height after assembly within the laboratory space because the components need to pass within the height of several doorways. The width restriction for components being moved (57�) in is set by the width of the narrowest doorway.� The length restriction for components being moved in (97�) is set by the necessity for a component to be turned at an angle to pass from a hallway into the laboratory through a laboratory door.�� AMENDMENT 2 (May 7, 2020): As a result of revisions to the Chemical Mechanical Planarization System requirements, the Combined Synopsis/Solicitation and Statement of Work have been updated and the quote response time has been extended to Friday, May 22, 2020 @ 4pm. Please find the attached documents for your reference: Combined Synopsis & Solicitation � CMP Tool (Amendment 2) � 7 May 2020; Revised Chemical Mechanical Planarization System Statement of Work; and Attachment A: Spare Parts Listing (to be submitted with quote in accordance with Statement of Work). All questions/clarifications must be submitted in writing via e-mail to shani.l.smith@nasa.gov no later than May 12, 2020.� Quotes are due no later than May 22, 2020 at 4pm Eastern Standard Time.

Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. However, the quote of an offeror with no relevant past performance history may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the responses of other quotes containing relevant past performance history.
