Question 1: SOW Sections 2.1–2.2 – Delivery Schedule Sections 2.1–2.2 of the Statement of Work require delivery of the applicable CESKs within 30 days of award or exercise of the respective option period. Would the Government consider permitting a staggered delivery schedule over the applicable Period of Performance (POP), rather than requiring delivery of the full quantity within the initial 30-day period?

Answer 1: The vendor is authorized to deliver on a staggered basis. Section 2.1 and 2.2 of the SOW have been updated.

Question 2: RFQ – Proposal Submission Deadline To ensure offerors have sufficient time to obtain and validate current product and shipping quotations necessary to develop accurate and complete pricing, would the Government consider extending the proposal submission deadline? An extension would allow offerors to incorporate current, supportable product and freight costs into their proposed pricing and provide the Government with the most accurate pricing possible.

Answer 2: The quote submission deadline has been extended to September 28, 2026 at 0900 AM EST and will not be extended further.

Question 3: SOW Section 4 – Government Acceptance Period Section 4 provides the Government with a 15-day period to accept or reject delivered items. Please clarify whether the applicable payment term (e.g., Net 30) begins after completion of the 15-day acceptance/rejection period, resulting in a potential total payment period of up to 45 days, or whether the 15-day acceptance/rejection period is included within the applicable Net 30 payment term.

Answer 3: Per pg. 3 (A) of the terms and conditions, Invoicing, “Invoices shall be submitted for payment within 30 days after the Government’s receipt of delivery.” Payment will be made after acceptance of items delivered.

Question 4: SOW Section 1.5.7 – Secondary Overpack Container Section 1.5.7 requires the training aids to be transported in a rigid, non-sparking secondary overpack container, such as an M19A1 ammunition can or equivalent. Please clarify whether the secondary overpack container is considered part of the CESK deliverable and will be retained by the Government upon acceptance, or whether the Government expects the container to be returned to the Contractor following delivery.

Answer 4: This requirement is no longer required. Vendor packaging will suffice for shipment. Section

1.5.7 of the SOW has been deleted.

Question 5: SOW Sections 1.5.4 and 1.5.7 – Vacuum-Sealed Packaging Section 1.5.4 states that the secondary shielding bag/pouch shall be vacuum-sealed within a MIL-PRF- 8170E Type I Opaque Metallic Shielding Bag, while Section 1.5.7 states that the training aids should be vacuum-sealed to remove excess atmospheric air. Please clarify whether both the secondary bag/pouch and the outer MIL-PRF-8170E metallic shielding bag are required to be individually vacuum-sealed, or whether only the final outer metallic shielding bag containing the secondary pouch is required to be vacuum-sealed.
