Description

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions from potential offerors and extend the date for which offers are due. Question 1: What is your pattern of ordering (1 at a time, 50 at a time?) Answer 1: The average orders are placed weekly with 18 -- 20 pairs of glasses ordered. Periodically, there may be an individual pair ordered. Question 2: What is the expected turn-a-round window? Answer 2: The expected turn-a-round window is two to three weeks. Question 3: When you specify bifocal, can I use only D28's and trifocals7x28, or do you expect all bifocal types like d35, d45, 8x35, occupational? Answer 3: All types are required. Question 4. Are samples needed for this bid? Question 4: Samples are not required with offers. Question 5. What is the warranty required in the contract? Answer 5: A warranty is not required. Question 6: Since our people are not fitting the glasses, who pays for the remakes, i.e. wrong bifocal height, non-adapt to progressives, etc. Answer 6: The optometrist fits the glasses when they arrive. If he determines that they were not made per his written prescription, the optical company must cover the cost of remaking the glasses. If the Optometrist finds that he must rewrite the prescription, the costs will be treated as a new order. The date for offers is extended to August 6, 2001, 4:00 p.m. EST. For information regarding the solicitation, contact Ms. Mary Sandy at telephone number 202-767-3710.
