#1 QUESTION - I have a question. Once awarded how long will we have to provide the orders to each location ANSWER: Net 30 days #2 QUESTION - Regarding the solicitation for Nitrile gloves, Section B.2 Cost Schedules, are the quantities listed referring to per individual piece or per box of gloves? For example, for item number 0001, are you requesting pricing information for 10,000 boxes which contain 300 pieces/box or for 10,000 gloves.

ANSWER: Per individual piece (Each) #3 QUESTION - In terms of Volume 2: Technical and Delivery Information…is that referring only to the PPE Technical Questionnaire or is there something else we need to include in this section?

ANSWER: PPE Technical Questionnaire #4 QUESTION - Can we Charge or bill the government for the shipping cost of the Nitrile gloves or is the shipping cost billed on each nitrile glove.

ANSWER: The contractor can either provide the total cost of the gloves including shipping or have a separate fee for shipping as long as it is clear to the government of their intention.

#5 QUESTION - Can we produce a separate proposal attachment showing possible Rapid/QRC quantity deliveries per size, from multiple manufacturers, if the technical spec for the product is exactly compliant?

ANSWER: See Section E of the Solicitation for submission requirement.

ANSWER: See page 66 of the solicitation.
