Questions and Answers Please confirm whether alternative BPA term structures (e.g., shorter base period with options) would be considered, assuming full compliance with pricing and technical requirements are met. Yes Please confirm whether offerors may submit proposals using offeror s standard commercial agreement terms (or a template for negotiation), if all required FAR/VAAR clauses and solicitation requirements are incorporated and any exceptions are clearly identified in the proposal. I agree and confirm Regarding section 3.3.8.3. Please confirm whether offerors may submit proposals given that the current meters in use do not utilize wireless capabilities and that, at this time, no units on the market are 100% FIPS 140-2 compliant. Considering this, can this requirement be revised to instead read: Required notification to the government within (10 days), when FIPS 140-2 compliant capability becomes available. Yes. Please confirm overall Estimated Strip Usage Per Year I don t have this number on page 22, and I don t have a page 93. Could you share the document you are referring to? Two pages state different values as follows: Page 22: 2,018,775 Page 93: 1,676,170 The estimated strip usage is 1,676,170. To ensure a thorough and high-quality response to all technical and pricing requirements, would VISN 8 consider extending the solicitation submission deadline by a week? The solicitation has been extended see block 11 for details.
