- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate additional questions and answers to this solicitation.� All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Will Tax Exempt be provided? Yes, tax exempt form can be provided upon request Since we are a third-party company that will subcontract a caterer, do we have to pass the New Jersey Army National Guard�s Food Safety Officer�s inspection? If the caterer that we outsource is certified, will this be sufficient? The G4 Food Program Management Office will inspect the vendor who is pre-determined contract award.� For the subcontracted companies as long as they have a current ServSafe Certification Certificate and a Satisfactory rating from the Health Department they should be good. However I (NJ ARNG) will spot check or sample different third party vendors for compliance with food safety and sanitation practices. Are the head counts a reflection of how many meals are needed per month? Example: Woodbridge 625 Main Street Woodbridge 117th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion C-Co 2-113th Infantry Battalion: Head Count: 50, 125. Do the two separate numbers represent the amount of food needed for two separate event dates? Or would we combine both 50 + 125 for 175 meals per month? Headcounts are submitted on a monthly basis and are determined by unit training requirements. Numbers will fluctuate each month. Headcounts are submitted by Unit and location. Woodbridge may require 50 meals and Sommerset may require 150 meals. Requests should be submitted to the supporting Vendor no less than 30 days. Is there an estimate on how many days of catering will be needed per request? Do requests typically last longer than 5 days? Units train an average of 3 days per month but will vary depending on the training requirement. Annual Training exercises are typically 15 days periods. Is there a current awardee for this requirement? There is no current awardee.� This is a new requirement. Will all units require meals at the same time? Unit feeding times will be determined by the training schedule. One unit may require a breakfast meal at 0430 while another unit only requires a Lunch meal at 1100.� Units train at multiple locations and have different training requirements.� Feeding times will vary by location and by unit. Is this a new requirement or an existing requirement? This is a new requirement How many incumbents are there performing this work? NA, this is a new requirement What are the incumbent names, contract #s, and revenues received under the incumbent contract? NA, this is a new requirement How many FTEs were on the previous contract?� Has the PWS changed? NA, this is a new requirement What did you like about the previous contract? Dislikes? NA, this is a new requirement What is the governments estimated budget? There is no budget at this time What are your KPIs? The only metric besides providing the requested meals is the passing of the food inspection prior to performance If we have a teaming agreement with a subcontractor, does the subcontractor's experience count as experience for the prime? Yes but note that if the work is to be subcontracted out, and if at any time a subcontractor is swapped out for another, they will always require a food safety inspection prior to them beginning performance.� It is the passing of inspection that determines if a contractor and/or subcontractor is suitable.
