Question 2: The solicitation is asking about the grit rating and brand for the pad being used for the final finish but I do not see that specified in the SOW. Is this applicable to this proposal?

A. The Government supplies the blanks for Houston On-site Inscription contract with an 80-grit finish and we prefer that the contractor to use materials that will match. However, the bidder can use any finish they want with the understanding that the Government will only supply material with an 80-grit finish.

Question 3: The table of contents for the proposal shows volume 2 with a page limit of 40 and volume 3 with 1 page per reference, are those mixed up with the limit for volume 3 being 40 pages?

A. Volume II Page Limitations should read: 1 page per reference, 3 references per prime and sub each.

Volume III Page limitations should read 40 pages.
