W912CH-26-B-A016 Q&A

Question 1: The IFB does not appear to include FAR 52.219-33 (Notice of Set-Aside for Small Business Concerns) or any provision imposing the Nonmanufacturer Rule. Please confirm whether the Nonmanufacturer Rule (13 CFR 121.406) applies to this procurement. Answer: The Nonmanufacturer Rule, as defined in 13 CFR § 121.406, does apply to this procurement. An amendment will be issued to add omitted FAR clause 52.219-33. Question 2: If the Rule applies, please confirm whether a nonmanufacturer may comply by offering products manufactured by a domestic small business, and whether SBA has issued a waiver of the Rule for any product required under this solicitation. Answer: There is no active Class Waiver for NAICS code 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing) on the SBA's official master waiver list. Since no class waiver exists, any nonmanufacturer bidding on a small business set-aside solicitation under NAICS 332216 must meet the requirements in RFO FAR 52.219-33 (c) Requirements. (2) When the end item being acquired is a kit of supplies, at least 50 percent of the total cost of the components of the kit shall be manufactured, processed, or produced in the United States or its outlying areas by small business concerns. Question 3: In the TDP description of the Drawing #0631D1002, it states that it is a SCREWDRIVER SET, 9 C. In the drawing package, it says screwdriver set, 7 pc. Could you please clarify which one is correct?
Answer: The drawing 0631D1002 is correct, it is a 7-piece set. (Note: A revised drawing package will be uploaded to SAM when available.)

Answer: TBD
Question 5: For Drawing #0714A0005, it is only one combination wrench, ½”, 12 Pt. On the TDP list, it states that is a combination wrench set. Please advise which one is correct. Answer: 0714A0005 is a single wrench. (Note: A revised drawing package will be uploaded to SAM when available.)
