Question Number

Questions Received Governments Response

Do you happen to have the previous years order for the straps? I am trying to guess on an estimated yearly delivery schedule. If not, I totally understand.

There is no previous order history. This is a new requirement.

2 Is the estimated $140K for the total of 3 years or for 1 year?

See page 1, bullet 1. The Government's intent is to establish a three year indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a ceiling value not to exceed $140,000.00

3 Please advise if there is previous award history. There is no previous order history. This is a new requirement.

4 In addition please advise if samples have to be sent before the closing.

See 52.212‐1 Addenda, section 1, paragraph b. Proposals and samples must be received by 1500 EST, 1 May 2018

Is this a new requirement or is there an incumbent vendor? If available, can you please send along the incumbent contract number?

There is no previous order history. This is a new requirement.

Do you have any or can you take any better pictures of the strap and do you have the manufacture drawing for the strap in this contract??

No further pictures are available. The government does not own the manufacturer's drawing.

In addition please advise if we will be supplying with manufacturer Sturges would we need to send samples?

In accordance with 52.212‐1 Addenda, section 1, paragraph b, samples are required as part of your proposal.

8 Please advise if there is a NSN number associated with this product.

See 52.212‐4 Addenda, paragraph 1. The Sturges Polypro Black Straps are similar to

NSN 5340‐00‐286‐6894.

I am reviewing the details of the black strap proposal and wanted to know exactly what kind of buckle is required? It states a 3/4" Nickle Buckle, moveable, but that doesn't provide enough clarity as that could mean several different types.

The information in 52.212‐4 Addenda is what is available. Please see the diagram of what is currently being used by the NSC.

In reference to the subject solicitation, most of the manufacturers are unable to submit the pre‐production samples because the availability of the metal hardware.

Samples of webbing can be submitted for testing. Or if FIRST ARTICLE TEST can be performed before production. Please advise.

The government requires complete samples, including the buckle, to evaluate. The government is not doing first article testing.

Note: per the solicitation instructions, only email questions were answered. Any telephonic inquires received were not addressed.
