Answer: Yes. See Revised SOW for retroreflective material specifications

2) Question: Should a company quote the retroreflective material for both home washing applications and industrial wash application if some coveralls will be home wash but some may be industrially laundered? There are different retroreflective products for home wash versus industrial wash.

Answer: See Revised SOW for required certification

2) Question: Can you advise on the expected number of home wash cycles as different retroreflective materials have different number of wash cycles- 25 washes or 50 home washes or more?

Answer: More than 50 washes

4) Question: Do you want the retroreflective material to be ANSI 107 certified Level 2? You will require a certificate of performance from the retroreflective supplier.

5) Question: Should the retroreflective material be designated "Made in the USA"

Answer: The solicitation requires offerors to complete and include FAR provision 52.225-2 with their proposal. FAR clause 52.225-1 Buy American- Supplies is also applicable to this requirement and included in the solicitation.
