Hypalon, synthetic attachment pieces, and inner facing 4 way stretch material shall be black in color or match the color of the carrier as closely as possible.

4.5. Cummerbund

4.5.1. Shall consist of 3 rows of MOLLE.

4.5.1.1. MOLLE rows shall be designed to maintain shape, structure, and spacing of rows.

Figure 7

Additional sizes shall be available, to fit up to a 54” waist.

4.5.4. Cummerbunds shall be removable and replaceable.

4.5.5. Cummerbund shall be adjustable. Adjustability mechanism shall be located at the rear of the carrier and shall not prevent the use of rear panel MOLLE. Adjustability mechanism shall also allow for some passive flexible expansion without the need for active repositioning by the end user.

Questions and Answers (not answered by the SOW changes listed above):

1. On Page 1 of the above referenced RFQ, the offer due date is listed as 8/29/2019 @ 4pm. However, on page 32, the due date is listed as 8/28/2019 @ 4pm. Which is correct?

A. All quotes and Past Performance Questionnaires are due August 29, 2019 at 4PM

ET.

2. Reference section 4.4.1 of the SOW: Is Hypalon material required for the shoulder strap or can an equivalent material be substituted?

A. Hypalon material is required.

3. The FirstSpear Quick Release Tubes™ system reference in section 4.5.7 of the SOW is only available in Tan 499, Black, Coyote Brown 498, Foliage Green 504. It is our understanding that color matching is not available for this component. Which color tubes should be used with the Rifle Green Carrier?

A. It shall be black in color or match the color of the carrier as closely as possible.

See SOW Section 4.1.4 above.

4. Attachment 2 has separate line items for size Large and Small in each of the colors.

However, Attachment 3 has only 1 line for each item and does not allow for a separate price by size or color. Is it the Government’s expectation that only one price per item be provided regardless of size or color?

A. Yes, the Government prefers to have a single price for the carrier no matter the size or color.
