- Small Business Set-Aside
- SBA Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)
- Description
- Amendment 001:� The purpose of this amendment is to update the RFQ attachment with the correct total small business set-aside restriction. Amendment 002: The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions from industry. Q1:�Would you please reconsider the alternative dimensions with all layout requirements such as: 8x24 ft = 192 sf, 8x30 ft = 240 sf, or 16x20 ft = 320 sf. A1:�The Container must be 20x10x8.5 due to the equipment racks and ergonomic work space. Q2:, It appears that the customer is seeking a CSC certified container with dimensions of 10ft in width. ISO 668 and ISO 1496 only specify containers up to 8ft width. The drawing shows a 10ft wide container, so it is assumed that this dimension is necessary to meet the mission objective. With that being said, it is in our opinion that a CSC certification cannot be achieved for this dimension. Is this something that the customer would consider waiving? A2: The�vendor has the choice to: - Modify a 20ft x 8ft x 8.5ft ISO/CSC certified container to a 10ft width. (All pre-modification certification documentation shall be retained and delivered with the container.) or - In lieu modifying a standard ISO container, the MTE may be constructed new�and shall meet all requirements of the specification. Either way, if it's modified or built new, the vendor shall meet all�requirements of the specification, i.e., American Bureau of Shipping , USCG regulations, etc. Amendment 003:�The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions from industry. Q3:�A 10' wide shelter is not a standard ISO container size.� At this width, it no longer falls under ABS- CSC/ISO and cannot be CSC tested/CSC Certified stateside to this width.� Therefore, CSC/ISO regulations will not permit the original CSC plate to be put back onto the container after it has been modified to this width.� Can you please remove or adjust this requirement? A3:� The CSC plate shall be removed from the container to permit sandblasting and painting, retained, and submitted with all prior ISO/CSC certification documentation with delivery. Q4:� Please further explain the requirement for ""Rounded ISO Corners"".� Are you referring to the corner radius of the standard casting? A4:� Yes. Q5:� Does the reference to USCG regulations encompass PAM requirements?� Refer again to the point made in question 3�noting that a 10' Wide shelter does not fall under ABS-CSC/ISO regulations? A5:� Yes.� Please see the answer to question 2 (above). See attachments
