The Request for Proposal indicates the possibility of more than one. We like the flexibility if the numbers support same, but if not then there will only be one award.

We will have a full training on how the samples are to be collected, tested and so forth. This training will include use of the refractometer and collection devices.

Whether a vendor wants to “team up” with another vendor/subcontractor to provide services listed in the RFP is your decision. If that includes the sharing of prices that is also your choice.

Our concern is that all the codes are addressed in your response as well as an explanation of how they will be provided.  The third party will also need to meet the RFP requirements for those codes.

The RFPs do not need to be bound or clipped. We do encourage you to be careful to keep the RFP packets separate, if you are responding to more than one RFP.

An individual convicted of a felony offense is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). Possession of a firearm by a family member living in the same residence as a convicted felon could constitute constructive possession, which may violate federal law.

Federal convictions cannot be expunged. However, you may apply for a Presidential Pardon. Any person convicted of a felony in Federal court is eligible to file a petition for a Presidential Pardon under the following circumstances, although some exceptions may apply:

• The individual is no longer serving the sentence and is not under parole, probation, or supervised release;
• Five years have passed since release from confinement or if confinement was not imposed, five years from the date of conviction; and
• A waiting period of seven years is required for more serious offenses, including violations of narcotic laws, income tax laws, perjury, violation of public trust involving dishonesty, violent crimes, gun control laws, fraud involving substantial sums of money, violations involving organized crime, and other crimes of a serious nature.

It is strongly recommended that you consult with an attorney to assist you with the process. Pardon applications may be obtained by making a written request to the Office of the Pardon Attorney, at the following address:

Office of the Pardon Attorney United States Department of Justice 1425 New York Ave NW, Suite 11000, Washington, DC 20530.
