Gordon Contracting Officer Page 4 of 4 SOLICITATION: 36C79123Q0011 REQUIREMENT: Commercial Custom Shipping Boxes and its Associated accessory PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: The purpose of this amendment is to make the following changes to the solicitation: Post questions and answers received in regard to the current RFQ 36C7923Q0011 Commercial Third Party Automobile Insurance Policy. The answers are in red. Post questions and answers Is this solicitation for GSA holders only? Yes If so, is it mandatory we have each item on GSA at time quote is submitted? Yes Will you accept open market quotes? No We currently have a GSA Schedule but are also in the process of obtaining a new one, as the life of our current contract comes to its end in 2025, so would love to be able to quote this not thru GSA, if possible. This BPA orders is for vendors with GSA contract vehicle. The solicitation document would inform you of what the process is if your GSA contract expires. Do you know how often this facility orders, is it weekly, monthly, bi-weekly? Since this is BPA, orders will be as needed up to the maximum yearly. Is there an incumbent, and No if so, who was it and what prices? For CLIN 46, in the solicitation the size is 18 x 16 x 4, but in the price schedule the size is 12 x 12 x 1/8, can you please confirm size: The 18 x 16 x 4 is the dimensions of the box we use to ship the Cardio Scale, the 12 x 12 x 1/8 is a custom insert that breaks into strips and folded into corners within the 18 x 16 x 4 to secure the Cardio Scale. CLIN 0046 The Contractor shall provide a Cardio Scale insert/set Suspension and Retention inserts with dimensions of 12 x 12 x 1/8 . These inserts should hold product tightly and securely in an 18 X16 X4 , shipping box. 25 per bundle. For CLINS 40 and 41, not sure what these are, they look to be the same size, with different descriptions. Can you please send a picture of both of these boxes, so we can quote accurately. We receive these boxes in a flat state. We then fold these into boxes, as needed. We will be attaching pictures for these. Are the quantities given guaranteed annually or are they estimated? They are estimated quantities. For CLIN 0029, can you please confirm size of box, as well as board grade? If this is a 48 x 40 x 60 box, the specs are probably different than the other size boxes. Below is a picture of a 48 x 40 x 60 sleeve (not a box), and as you can see, it is very large. Not sure what they ship in these size boxes, but maybe we can help with a better option. Only 1 end of these boxes close, the other end stays open. We use these to ship our E-cycle. For CLIN 43, Jiffy Mailers, the Unit of Measure is 500 per box in the solicitation, but in the detailed description on page 70, it has 800 per box. Can you please confirm which is correct? The Jiffy Mailers we use have 500 per box. For delivery requirements under B.3.2, page 66, it states deliveries shall be within 30 calendar days, however, under B.3.5, page 71, it states 10 days, can you please confirm which is correct? Deliveries shall be 10 business days. Information on styles, such as, ""RSC"" - Regular Slotted Container, etc. Information on board grade(s), such as, ECT/Mullen ratings Please read the solicitation document in its entirety. Type of corrugation, such as, A, B or C Please read the solicitation document in its entirety. Type of wall, such as, Single (SW), Double (DW) or Triple Wall (TW) Are the quantities listed annually? or the amount, they will be ordering will be (for example) 500 - 24x12x12 boxes every 4 weeks? It would be ordered as needed. Would this be a BPA or how would they order the for items during the year? This is a BPA. Can you confirm that the items listed on the above solicitation are ""each""? I was reading through the solicitation and noticed the total value and potential length of the contract and wasn't sure if that was an opening order, or the entire contract Please the solicitation in its entirety to include section B.2 PRICE/COST SCHEDULE. 0040 is it possible to see a picture or come by and get a visual on this? we have a few varieties possible 0041 is it possible to see a picture or come by and get a visual on this? 0044 > (we're noticing that the specified dimensions show 13""X9""3"", which we're assuming is meant 13"" x 9"" x 3""). This is listed as IPAD set/insert -- so, #1 here = is this meant to be the outer shipping box as stated in the added description section? That section states the insert is 13""x9""3"" and is to go into a 13""x9""x3"" box which would not be physically possible. Usually the inside insert suspension/retention portion of the package is smaller to fit inside the box. #2 = May we come by to take a peek at exactly this item? BTW we make these so have some recommendations on future possible changes your folks might enjoy seeing available. 0045 > same question about dimension 11x11x4 going 11x11x4 box = thanks for letting us take a peek if possible 0046 = same question as to how 18x16x4 insert can fit in 18x16x4 box I checked in Beta-Sam and didn't see any recent postings. This posting could be found at GSA ebuy.

It is advisable that Interested vendors read the solicitation documents in its entirety to understand Government requirement and to provide quotes in accordance with the solicitation.
