About this file
This is a Vendor Question Submission document containing Government responses to six questions submitted by potential offerors regarding Federal Bureau of Investigation Request for Quote 15F06726Q0000039 for FEDERAL .308 WIN 168 Grain Tactical Bonded Tip Ammunition.
The Government clarified that vendors offering equal products need only meet the three salient characteristics specified in the RFQ (.308 Winchester, 168 grains, and Tactical Bonded Tip) with no additional performance thresholds or independent third-party testing required. Manufacturers' technical data sheets satisfy documentation requirements. Equal products are not required to match the 200-round case configuration, provided packaging meets each location's total ordered quantity. The Government will accept a single production lot distributed across all seven delivery destinations, subject to the awardee's standard lot-release and traceability controls. The FBI established a maximum delivery timeframe of 180 days after receipt of order (ARO), and vendors should propose delivery schedules meeting or improving upon this schedule. The document includes two images referenced but not displayed in the text content provided.

Sheet1 Federal Bureau of Investigation Request for Quote 15F06726Q0000039 FEDERAL .308 WIN 168 Grain Tactical Bonded Tip Ammunition
| No. | Offeror Question | Government Response |
| 1 | For an offered “equal” product, will technical acceptability be evaluated solely against the three listed salient characteristics (.308 Winchester, 168 grains, and Tactical Bonded Tip), or must the equal product also demonstrate specific velocity, pressure, accuracy, barrier performance, case finish, primer, or other attributes of the reference product? | As stated in Section 2.0 – Supplies or Services, “if vendor is providing an “equal” product, the product quoted must meet the salient characteristics included" under Section 2.0. |
| 2 | If additional performance characteristics are required for an equal product, please identify the required thresholds and acceptable supporting test methods or documentation. | No additional performance characteristics are required. Equal products need only meet the specifications stated in the RFQ, and no further thresholds or supporting test documentation are necessary. |
| 3 | For an OEM offering its own equal product, will the manufacturer’s controlled technical data/specification sheet satisfy the product-documentation requirement, or is independent third-party testing or certification required? | The OEM’s controlled technical data/specification sheet is sufficient to meet the product documentation requirement. Independent third‑party testing or certification is not required. |
| 4 | Is the 200-round case configuration mandatory for an equal product, provided the total requirement of 18,000 rounds is met, or must the offered product be packaged exactly 20 rounds per carton and 200 rounds per case? | Equal products are not required to match the 200‑round case configuration, provided the offered packaging allows each location’s total ordered quantity to be met. |
| 5 | The RFQ requires the quotation to state a delivery timeframe ARO but does not identify a maximum delivery period. Does the FBI have a required or preferred latest delivery timeframe? | Please reference RFQ Amendment 1. The FBI’s required delivery timeframe is no later than 180 days ARO. Vendors should propose a delivery timeframe that meets or improves upon this preferred schedule. |
| 6 | Will the Government accept a single production lot distributed across the seven destinations, subject to the awardee’s normal lot-release and traceability controls? | Yes. The Government will accept a single production lot distributed across all seven destinations, provided the awardee’s standard lot‑release and traceability controls are maintained. Separate production lots are not required. |
