14. I was talking with Ramon (at the site visit), when you have a chance, could you please get back to me regarding what percentage of the goods need to be Buy American / Free Trade Agreement compliant

Answer: This requirement is subject to the Buy American Statute and the trade agreements do not apply as this acquisition is set-aside for small business.

15. In the last SOW posted 9/12. You mention that you need “SRL’s will be equipped with oversized rings and worker will use extension pole (provided by DFP) to retrieve SRL” I recall hearing at the last site visit that this requirement will be removed.

Answer: That is correct. We will use a lightweight rope attached to the SRL instead of a pole.

Reason: reduce likelihood of damage to the SRL and aircraft.
