QuestionAnswer
1Can you please point out what it was that we missed to avoid further confusion? Was it a missed document or a missing piece of information on the quote itself?Make sure you addres all the factors:

Factor 1 – Technical: Technical consist of ensuring that the items that are being requested are the items that will be acquired from the contractor. Provide detailed specifications of the "your" bag, in similar format found in the SOW, and below under question 5.

Factor 2– Delivery Schedule: Items will be evaluated on how soon the items can be delivered.

Contractors are to list when they anticipate each item can be delivered. A delivery date must be mentioned for each location, or the quote will be deemed incomplete Factor 3 – Price: Simply insert the fixed price for the items being acquired or provide documentation with the shipping, per item, and total pricing.

3 Request information regarding the incumbent contractor for the current solicitation 70FA4024Q00000066 Tactical Bags 90L and the pricing accepted in previous similar contracts. This information will greatly assist us in preparing a competitive and accurate proposal. This is a new requirement. There is no incumbent.

4 I was looking over the RFQ and I was wondering if you could tell me if there is a specific brand that they are looking for? This is not a brand specific requirement.

5 I am interested in understanding the following characteristics and requirements for the equipment: The need for the bags to adhere to airline regulations, with specific compliance based on air carrier policy regarding size and dimension. The following characteristics of the equipment are to be adhered to:

• Clear vinyl document storage pocket and business/ID card holder

• Retractable handle and self-retracting grab handles

• 4 external zippered pockets with name tape and morale patch holders

• Three internal pockets and light-colored interior lining

• Dedicated top compartment with optional roll away dividers for top loader access to the main compartment

• Internal fiberglass rods allow for easy loading and the bag to stand on its end or compact storage when removed

• Impact resistant bottom base panel

• Removable webbing strap with buckle included for tethering

• Lockable YKK® zippers

• Water-resistant 1050D nylon and 1680D ballistic nylon

• Overall Dimensions - 13.0"H x 28.75"L x 15.875"D

• Total Capacity - 5514 cubic inches / 90 Liters

• Weight - 14.0 lbs

6 It seems like this particular item is being requested in nylon. Is there any flexibility for leather? Leather is well known for it’s durability and comfort and can be a great alternative to nylon in this instance. Please let me know if that is an option in this case. See question # 5 for the required specifications. All items must meet the spec that are in the SOW; however, an item of greater quality can be quoted.

7 Do you have any documentation or images to help me understand what is being requested when mentioning “name tape and morale patch holders”? See RFQ image called Carry (Velcro).

8 Do you have any documentation or images to help me understand what is being requested when mentioning “dedicated top compartment with optional roll away dividers for top loader access to the main compartment”? See RFQ attached images (Carry, Handle, ClearSide): Additional photos have been added.

9Do you have any documentation or images to help me understand what is being requested when mentioning “removable webbing strap with buckle included for tethering”?
