Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides the government's responses to technical questions submitted by potential offerors regarding the "Mini-Split Systems" opportunity.

• Main Power Cabling: The SOW exclusion for "main power cabling" applies only to the feed from the building's main power to the outdoor compressor, which the Government will provide. The specific "Mitsubishi Mini Split Line Set & Power Wire (Model B143812015F – 10703908)" is part of the interconnecting line set and wiring between the indoor air handler and the compressor. This interconnecting cabling is required and must be supplied by the contractor.
• System Requirements: Offerors' quotes must conform to the solicitation's requirements. Technical submissions must demonstrate the ability to meet or exceed the salient characteristics described in the SOW. Failure to provide sufficient technical detail may result in a nonresponsive quote.

This document clarifies specific requirements related to cabling and technical submissions. Offerors should refer to the solicitation and SOW for additional details to ensure their quotes are responsive.
