91--AK-BETTLES ADMINISTRATIVE SITE OPTION YE

Description

What heating-oil grade? Is there a cold-weather specification requirement? - Number 1 Heating oil (our temperatures get down close to the -70F range) Please provide the exact address for the three Bettles delivery locations. - These buildings do not have formal addresses issued as is common in remote alaska communities. I am attaching a google earth link with pindrops for the locations. What are the tank connection types? - The fill points are standard 2" caps. What is the required delivery lead time? - The lead time preferred to be within 5 business days. The statement of work lists past use as “2,7154 gallons.” What is the correct figure? Are the six 500-gallon price-sheet lines the quantities used for evaluation, with payment only for gallons actually ordered and delivered? - Upon reviewing the Statement of Work, we identified an error in the quantity previously purchased by the field office. The intended amount was approximately 2,715 gallons used, rather than the quantity listed. We are requesting a quote for a total estimated quantity of 3,000 gallons, allocated at 1,500 gallons per year over a two-year period. Payment will be made only for the gallons actually ordered and delivered, with the total quantity not to exceed 3,000 gallons over the two-year period. - The CLINs and price sheet show a November 16, 2026 base start, while the statement of work shows November 1. Which start date controls? - We are projecting a start date of November 16th. Which award instructions control: the price-only language or the later technical and past-performance review? Are the three work examples, two references and past-performance questionnaire required? We did not find the questionnaire in the posted file. - Price is the sole evaluation factor. I believe you are referencing FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services, under the solicitation provisions. This provision would only apply if applicable to the procurement. Since this solicitation is based solely on price, FAR 52.212-2 would not be applicable. The file includes FAR 52.219-14 and 52.219-33. Does a below-threshold small-business exception apply to this purchase? If not, is there a nonmanufacturer waiver for the required fuel? - While the procurement is still set aside for small businesses, the two stated FAR clauses and provisions will need to remain in place without a waiver.
