New clarification added: Dear Bidders,Please note the below raised questions and our official responses in connection to the Invitation to bid, ref. ITB/2017/2717Question (1): There is no mention in the specifications about any anti-fog characteristics of the eyewear, and we feel this is an important point to establish.Does the end user require a lens that has an anti-fog feature built in?Answer (1):  Anti-fog reapplication is mentioned in tender documents as indicated in questions three.Question (2): The specifications mention that "Supplied BEPS/MCEPS shall accommodate at least 20% female and 80% male wearing size". Can the UN please clarify more on the sizes required as we have two possible options to quote - one comes in small, regular or large sizes whilst the other just comes in regular or large.The 20%/80% split of male to female wearing size does not really give an accurate number of each size so please could you also clarify the quantities of each size required - this is more to check on stock levels and lead times and a final decision on the quantities of each size can be decided upon contract award.Answer (2): 20% regular and 80% large can be considered.Question (3):  Apologies, to be clear on the anti-fog question, we see that there is a point stating there should be "anti-fog reapplication" but would the end user prefer to have lenses with anti-fog built in, as opposed to having to apply an external anti fog coating that will wear off?Answer (3):  In this tender we request minimum as anti-fog reapplication and please note below requirements for international standards which are already mentioned in the technical specifications:1.     US Army Qualified Product List (QPL),2.     Authorised Protective Eyewear List (APEL).3.     US Army (MIL-PRF 32432) performance specification and4.     ANSI (American National Standard Institution - Z87(+) 2010/2015) standard.Question (4):  We would like to enquire about a possible GSA letter from your organization in the event that we are awarded the contract. In order to receive GSA pricing from our manufacturer, they require a letter stating that our company is authorized to receive GSA pricing on behalf of the United Nations. We let them know an end user certification could be furnished at the time of the purchase order, but their strict policy requires a letter specifically authorizing GSA pricing. Please confirm whether you would be able to provide this. Answer (4): We can only provide General under taking letter upon signature of the contract.Question (5):  Can we please have clarification on the requirement: "The supplied BEPS/MCEPS shall of SPECTACLE type" mentioned in the "Technical specifications for Goods and Comparative Data Table"Answer (5): The supplied products should be the type of spectacles and not the type of goggles or full face visors.Question (6):  Our company is considering for participation in your tender.
