NIMATs Acrylic/Plexiglass Dividers

18 DEC 20 FINAL UPDATE The Government is unable to make award for this requirement based on the offers that were received. Of the 12 offers received only three (3) were considered responsive. None of those three were considered acceptable by the requiring activity. None of the offerors addressed the requirements in PWS Para 5.1 Basic Services that spoke to the acrylic was going to be cast or extruded, whether the acrylic is rounded/radiused for safety purposes, how the dividers would be affixed to the furniture, nor how the shets would be stabilized. Based on this fact, the three responsive offers were found acceptable. There will be a follow-up announcement [70FA4021QPLEXIGLASS02] for this requirement released today. If you submitted a quote/proposal, and you intend to resubmit, please be sure to address how your company intends to install the acrylic sheets. [End of Final Update] 11 DEC 20 4TH UPDATE On the Long Side drawing there is a measurement for a cut at 7 inches. Change that cut to 6 1/2 inches instead of 7 inches. This will not have an impact on your proposed amount for the 47" x 69" sheet. It will only have impact if you are the resultant awardee, and go to cut the sheets for delivery. End of 4th Update Changes 11 DEC 20 3RD UPDATE It was discovered that no dimensions for the "Longside" acrylic sheet - the measurement was only on the attachment with the drawing. The purpose of this amendment is to add the dimensions to Part 5 of the PWS and to the PRS Technical Exhibit. The due date is being extended to 16 DEC 2020.
