SOLICITATION NO. FA468627QS002

Question 1: The notice text refers to solicitation number FA468626QS031, but Attachment 1 is FA468627QS002. Please confirm which number quotes should reference. Answer 1: The official and binding solicitation number is FA468627QS002, as listed on SF 1449 (Block 5). The number referenced in the SAM.gov notice text was a typographical error. The Government will not be issuing a formal amendment solely to correct this administrative typo on the web notice. All offerors shall reference FA468627QS002 on their quote submissions. Question 2: The notice text says quotes are due 26 Oct 2026 at 09:00 AM, but the SAM response field says 10:00 AM PT. Please confirm the correct time (and whether "PST" means Pacific Daylight Time). Answer 2: The official due date and time for proposal submission is 27 Oct 2026 at 09:00 AM PST, as explicitly stated on SF 1449 (Block 8). This document legally supersedes the web notice. Question 3: Who is the incumbent, and what are the current contract number and awarded price? What volumes were actually delivered over the last 12 months compared with the Attachment 1 estimates? Answer 3: This is considered a new requirement and is structured differently from previous linen contracts. Therefore, incumbent information, prior contract numbers, and historical volumes are not directly applicable and will not be provided. Offerors are instructed to utilize the estimates provided in PWS Attachment 1 to formulate their quotes.
Question 4: For CLIN 0001 (9 FSS Lodging, billed per NAF instructions), please provide the NAF billing and payment instructions, the payment office, and expected payment timing. Will this CLIN be paid through WAWF like the others?
Answer 4: The omission of the NAF Standard Clauses from the original SF 1449 attachments was erroneous. Please refer to Section H of the Attachment 1 - Solicitation which now formally incorporates the required NAF Standard Clauses. This contains the specific billing instructions, payment office details, and payment timelines for CLIN 0001.
Question 5: Are the 9 FSS lodging quantities firm or estimated? Is the weekly CLIN price fixed regardless of actual volume, or will per-unit adjustments be made? Answer 5: Please refer to PWS Attachment 2, which explicitly states: "Extended Total of Items and Quantity of Bundles are estimates for the year of service." Offerors are to propose a Firm Fixed Price per
