DUE DATE FOR QUOTTIONS IS MAY 6, 2022. _________________________________ April 22, 2022 Q & A in response to quesitons submitted about requirement. Are the rates in accordance with standard prevailing wage requirements? Do they need to be certified? A: The applicable wage determination is attached to the RFQ. No certification is required. We see the pricing terms are FFP (and Net-30) therefore the contractor will be asked to itemize/ breakdown pricing on an hourly basis. A: No. We are looking for an annual FFP. Invoices will be expected accordingly. The RFQ states the deadline for RFQ responses is by 04/25/2022. There was previously correspondence confirming the deadline was 05/06/2022. Since we're still updating our SAM status, we may need the additional time to respond to this RFQ. A: SF-18 RFQ has been corrected. Due date is 5/6/2022.
