TF33 Work Platforms Repair

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the M26-103 TF33 Work Platforms Repair opportunity.

• Appendix A Pricing: The prices in the unredacted portion of Appendix A are not proprietary and should be disregarded. Vendors should not use this unredacted version for responses.
• Sole Source / Set Aside: The opportunity is a 100% Small Business Set Aside, not a sole source. Vendors should disregard previous versions of the CSS and use the updated CSS document and amended RFQ FA812626Q0028.
• Counterweight Limit Switch Redesign: The government still desires a redesign (reconfiguration) of the counterweight limit switch, preferably using a commercial-off-the-shelf replacement. The current switch is difficult to set correctly and poses a risk of platform damage.
• Quote Sheet Submission: The government will review Terms & Conditions-related items, including the completed Quote Sheet. The format of the quote sheet does not matter as long as a complete technical evaluation can be performed with the information provided.

This Q&A clarifies the correct documents to use (updated CSS and amended RFQ), confirms the set-aside status, provides direction on a specific technical requirement (counterweight limit switch), and clarifies submission requirements for quote sheets. Vendors should ensure they are using the most current documents and addressing the clarified technical and submission details.
