1. Scope of Work & Linear Footage Quantity Breakdown Question 1.1: Total Linear Footage: 4,500 LF Total vs. 9,000 LF Combined Solicitation References:Attachment 1, PWS Paragraph 2 (Required Materials); Section B.2, CLIN 0001 Consolidated Question:PWS Paragraph 2 lists two separate line items under Required Materials: (1) '4500 linear feet of Fence Panel hard barricades (size of panels should be approx. 4’ x 10’)' and (2) 'Hard Barricades – 4500 ft of barricades meant for stopping/preventing vehicle access.' Please clarify whether the total required quantity is 4,500 linear feet in total (where one product satisfies both descriptions), or whether these are two separate, cumulative requirements totaling 9,000 linear feet (4,500 LF of fence panels plus an additional 4,500 LF of hard vehicle-access barricades).

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify whether the solicitation requires 4,500 linear feet total or two distinct 4,500-foot allocations totaling 9,000 linear feet.

•Confirm whether the fence panels and hard vehicle barricades represent the exact same fencing line or two physically separate barriers.

Government Response: **4500 total not 9000. The fence panels/hard barricades represent the same idea.

Question 1.2: Contractor Scope of Services (Turnkey vs. Equipment Rental Only) Solicitation References:PWS Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 Consolidated Question:Please confirm that the contractor's scope of work is a complete turnkey service encompassing equipment furnishing, transportation/delivery to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, on-site distribution, full installation and setup, monitoring, teardown, and post-event removal of all fencing and barricades.

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm that the contractor is responsible for all labor and equipment for delivery, setup, and teardown.

•Clarify whether any handling, transport, or placement will be performed by Government personnel.

Government Response: **The contractor is responsible for all labor, equipment, delivery, set up and tear down.

Handling by government personnel only in the event of moving fencing from side of road to course to block the road for the race. Please do not assume the government is providing any supplies or manpower to assist direct performance.

2. Fencing & Barricade Equipment Specifications Question 2.1: Vehicle Barricade Type, Performance Standard, and Crash Ratings Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 2 ('Hard Barricades – 4500 ft of barricades meant for stopping/preventing vehicle access') Consolidated Question:Regarding the barricades specified for 'stopping/preventing vehicle access': What specific type of barrier is required, and what minimum performance standard applies? Are standard interlocking steel crowd-control ('bike rack') barricades (approximately 43 inches high by 6.5 to 8 feet wide) or temporary steel chain-link fence panels acceptable to meet this vehicle access-prevention requirement? Alternatively, does the Government require certified crash-rated / impact-tested barriers, water-filled plastic barricades, FDOT Type I/II barricades, low-profile barrier walls, or precast concrete K-rail / Jersey barriers? If rated or heavy barriers are required, please provide the specific crash-test rating (e.g., ASTM, MASH, or PAS 68), weight, anchoring, or ballast specifications.

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify whether standard interlocking steel crowd-control barricades or fence panels satisfy the vehicle-prevention requirement.

•Confirm whether certified crash ratings (e.g., MASH, ASTM F2656, K-rating) are mandatory.

•Specify whether concrete barriers, water-filled barricades, or steel panels are expected.

We do not need a category III barricade on base. Steel interlocking fencing or chain link mesh are both acceptable. You may present multiple offers based on alternative barricade types as desired.

Question 2.2: Fence Panel Dimensions, Materials, and Commercial Alternatives Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 2 ('Fence Panel hard barricades (size of panels should be approx. 4’ x 10’)') Consolidated Question:Does the specification 'approx. 4’ x 10’' require panels that are approximately 4 feet high by 10 feet long/wide? Are these intended to be temporary chain-link fence panels on freestanding bases, welded wire mesh panels, or tubular steel crowd barricades? Furthermore, are common commercial event fence panel sizes, such as 6’ x 10’ or 6’ x 12’ chain-link panels on weighted stands, or 8’ x 4’ interlocking steel barricades, acceptable substitutes if they meet the general perimeter containment objective?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm panel orientation (4 ft height by 10 ft length).

•Clarify acceptable panel materials (chain-link mesh vs. tubular steel pickets).

•Confirm whether industry-standard 6' x 10', 6' x 12', or 8' x 4' panels are acceptable alternatives.

Government Response: **4 ft height by 10 ft length for panel orientation. Chain-link mesh is preferred as the standard for this requirement. 8 ft panels are too high and beyond acceptable limit. The furthest limit out would be 6ft tall.

Question 2.3: Gates, Access Openings, and Government-Furnished Scrim Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 2 & 4; Scrim Attachment Consolidated Question:Are vehicle gates, emergency access openings, or pedestrian pass-through gates required within the 4,500 linear feet of fence line, and if so, how many and what dimensions? Regarding the scrim/mesh fabric that will be attached by Government staff and volunteers: Will all scrim, zip ties, and mounting hardware be Government-furnished? Do the fence panels require specific attachment clips, reinforced frames, or special hardware to support scrim attachment?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Specify the required quantity, size, and hardware for pedestrian and vehicular access gates.

•Confirm that all privacy scrim, event signage, and attachment ties are Government-furnished.

•Clarify whether panels require special attachment features to accommodate scrim.

Government Response: **Vehicle access at finish line. The lead vehicle will be staged ahead of the start line and not an issue prior to the race. The scrim, signage and zip ties will be provided by the 10-Mile event staff. Contractor is not required to have this on hand. As long as the scrim can be zip tied to the fencing at the finish line, special panels are not required.

3. Site Layout, Installation Mapping & Ground Conditions Question 3.1: Preliminary Course Maps, Drop Locations, and Linear Footage Allocation Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3 & Paragraph 4; Installation Maps Consolidated Question:The PWS states that installation maps will be provided after contract award. To enable offerors to accurately estimate equipment staging, mobilization logistics, crew sizing, and installation labor, can the Government provide a preliminary layout map or course schematic before quotes are due? Specifically, please provide the approximate linear footage distribution between Hangar C / finish line area versus the active course, the number of distinct course drop locations, and the total race course perimeter involved.

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Request preliminary course map and installation schematics prior to quotation submission.

•Provide breakdown of footage required at Hangar C / finish line versus remote course drop points.

•Provide the number of distinct staging/drop locations across the installation.

To keep the solicitation fair and acceptable, maps will only be provided to the chosen contractor.

Question 3.2: Installation Surfaces, Staking Restrictions, Anchoring, and Ballast Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 2 & 3; Installation Conditions Consolidated Question:What are the specific ground surfaces where fencing and barricades will be installed (e.g., asphalt roadway, concrete apron, soft grass/sand shoulder, or turf)? Are ground penetration and mechanical staking permitted along the course, or is staking strictly prohibited (requiring 100% freestanding panels with flat weighted base plates, sandbags, or concrete ballast blocks)? If scrim is attached by Government staff, what wind-load anchoring or ballast specifications must the contractor engineer into the installation?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Identify surface conditions (asphalt, concrete, turf, soft sand) at all drop locations.

•Clarify whether ground penetration/staking into pavement or soil is prohibited.

•Specify ballast and wind-resistance requirements, especially considering attached scrim.

•Confirm if reflective tape/markings or panel couplers are required.

Government Response: Staking is not allowed due to the presence of underground lines near the surface of the Cape. Surface conditions: 90% asphalt, 5% gravel, 5% grass (sides of road). No ballast requirement. For attaching the scrim, zipties with need to be used to attach it to the fencing. While reflective tape is not required it can be optionally included but, would not be rated for technical acceptability.

Question 3.3: Post-Award Layout Changes and Scope Adjustments Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3; PWS Paragraph 4 Consolidated Question:If post-award layout maps or Government operational requirements result in modifications to drop locations, split segments, or an increase in total linear footage, transportation, labor, or equipment beyond the quoted scope, what formal contract modification and price adjustment process will apply?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify equitable adjustment procedures if post-award course maps deviate from baseline solicitation quantities or distribution complexity.

Government Response: Contract modification occurs via negotiation. There is not a preset formula for this. The government would attempt to work a mutual solution with the respective vendor.

4. Operational Schedule, Setup & Teardown Sequencing Question 4.1: Setup Window, Staging Arrival Time, and Early Delivery Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3 (Timeline: Friday Setup) Consolidated Question:Please clarify the Friday setup window (December 11, 2026): May equipment and materials be delivered, unloaded, or staged on the installation prior to 10:00 a.m. on Friday? Does the '10:00 a.m.' requirement represent the arrival time at the Cape Canaveral SFS commercial vehicle inspection gate, or the commencement of installation at Hangar C?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify whether delivery vehicles can arrive or stage before 1000 hours on Friday.

•Define whether 1000 represents gate arrival or on-site work commencement.

Government Response: 1000 is the arrival time at Hangar C after going through inspection gate.

If contractor wishes to deliver prior to Friday, this will need to be worked out with the Race Director and Action officers. The staging will not be permitted before Friday due to every day activities on the Cape.

Question 4.2: Teardown Timing Reconciliation: Noon vs. 3:00 PM Deadline Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3; Summary vs. Finish-Line Teardown Consolidated Question:Please reconcile the discrepancy in the PWS regarding Saturday teardown deadlines: The PWS summary states that all fencing and barricades must be removed by 12:00 p.m. (noon), whereas Section 3 states that finish-line teardown is permitted until 3:00 p.m. Does the 12:00 p.m. deadline apply strictly to the remote race course roadways to allow reopening of traffic, while teardown at Hangar C and the finish line is permitted until 3:00 p.m.?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Reconcile the noon overall removal requirement with the 3:00 p.m. finish-line deadline.

•Provide exact teardown and base departure schedules by zone.

Government Response: **Contractor will begin tearing down fencing as soon as the last participant crosses the start line. They will follow the course and continue with tear down until the finish line is reached. The overall course needs to be down by or before noon. The Finish line area takes longer to disassemble, allowing for the 3:00p finish. Of note: Contractor will also want to remember to tear down the fencing used at the Runner Parking at Hangar K.

Question 4.3: Overnight Staging of Contractor Equipment and Materials Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3; PWS Paragraph 5 Consolidated Question:Because contractor personnel must depart the installation by 17:00 on Friday setup day: May contractor flatbeds, trailers, forklifts, and installed fence panels remain staged on the installation overnight from Friday 17:00 to Saturday morning? Where is the designated contractor equipment staging area near the start line, and will the Government provide security patrols or area protection for unattended equipment overnight?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm whether installed panels, delivery trucks, flatbeds, and forklifts may remain on base overnight.

•Identify designated staging and laydown areas near the start and finish lines.

•Clarify whether the installation provides overnight security or if assets remain at contractor risk.

Government Response: The installation and perimeter will be patrolled by security forces. As long as the contractors keep their passes to enter the base the following day, they are allowed to leave their trucks overnight. Staging areas near start and finish line will be discussed with chosen contractor.

5. Pricing Schedule, CLIN Structure & Period of Performance Question 5.1: Base Year vs. Option Years Pricing Structure Solicitation References:CSS Section B.2, CLIN 0001; PWS Page 1 (Period of Performance) Consolidated Question:The PWS states that the contract includes a Base Year plus four potential one-year option periods with event dates through December 2030, whereas Section B.2 lists only a single line item, CLIN 0001 (Quantity: 1, Unit: Job). Should offerors submit pricing for the base year (December 2026 event) only under CLIN 0001, or must separate pricing be submitted for the base year and each of the four option years (e.g., adding CLINs 1001 through 4001)? If option-year pricing is required, will option years be evaluated as part of the total price evaluation for award, and is price escalation permitted across option periods?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify whether quotes must price the 2026 base year only or all five years (2026–2030).

•Provide the required CLIN structure or pricing worksheet format for option years.

•Confirm whether option-year pricing will be included in the evaluated award total.

•Confirm whether price escalation across option years is acceptable.

•Confirm whether estimated scope and footage will remain identical for each option year.

Government Response: The government is evaluating a total price for all five potential years of performance. The award will fund the first year, and the government will have the option each year to exercise another option. CLINS 0001 – 4001 are separate so that prices may change between years as relevant to the company. You will not be able to change these prices later without making the government unable to exercise the option. In the event of inability to exercise options or a change in the requirement, the government would not exercise an option and would issue a new solicitation.

6. Subcontracting, Teaming & Limitations on Subcontracting Question 6.1: Small Business Subcontracting of Fencing Rental, Delivery, and Installation Solicitation References:CSS Section C & E; PWS Paragraph 1 & Paragraph 5; FAR 52.219-14 Consolidated Question:May an eligible small business prime contractor fulfill this requirement by subcontracting the furnishing of fencing/barricades, delivery, installation, and removal to a qualified commercial fencing company, while the prime contractor provides overall project management, quality control, and on-site oversight? Must the prime contractor own the fencing inventory, or is utilizing rental/subcontractor equipment fully acceptable? Furthermore, does FAR 52.219-14 (Limitations on Subcontracting) apply to this procurement, and do equipment rental costs count toward self-performance or subcontracting thresholds?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm that a small business prime may subcontract equipment rental, installation, and removal.

•Confirm that the prime contractor is not required to own the fencing inventory.

•Clarify applicability of FAR 52.219-14 and how equipment rental costs are categorized under subcontracting limitations.

Government Response: Rental costs towards self-performance do not count against the subcontracting limitation. FAR and DFARS Clauses for subcontracting apply in full to this procurement, meaning the prime contractor should be performing at least 50% of the payable service portion of the effort and is directly responsible for supervision of the effort, including any on-site supervisor to be directly employed as a W-2 employee by that company. The government is performing a small business set-aside to the respective NAICS code and the prime contractor needs to perform under that NAICS code and not simply subcontract out the effort remotely. The government will need to review and approve any and all proposed subcontractors and ensure they also match the respective small business set-aside. To this end, please provide SAM information for any proposed subcontractor and evidence that they are aware you are attempting to subcontract to them for the effort.

A small business prime contractor subcontracting a majority of the effort to a large business or otherwise would not satisfy the effort.

Question 6.2: DFARS 252.237-7006 (Subcontracting) Applicability and Approval Process Solicitation References:CSS Section E, DFARS 252.237-7006; DFARS 237.7003(a); PWS Paragraph 5 Consolidated Question:Section E incorporates DFARS 252.237-7006 (Subcontracting), which requires the Contracting Officer's written approval before subcontracting work. DFARS 237.7003(a) prescribes this clause for mortuary services. Is the inclusion of DFARS 252.237-7006 intentional for this event equipment solicitation, or will it be removed by amendment? If retained, does an offeror's Execution Plan (which under PWS paragraph 5 must show ownership or quotes for subcontracted items and services) constitute written approval upon contract award, or must separate post-award approval be requested?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify whether DFARS 252.237-7006 applies or was included erroneously.

•Confirm whether naming the subcontractor and including their quote in the Execution Plan serves as written approval upon award.

•Detail any supplemental documentation required to obtain subcontractor approval.

Government Response: In relation to the previous question, response subcontracting clauses were included intentionally by CO determination rather than specific FAR prescription. The government wants to ensure a prime contractor is fulfilling the majority of the performance directly. Prime contractors will need to provide subcontractor information so we can verify their small business status under the given NAICS code and show coordination that they are aware you are attempting to subcontract them for the effort. Then prime contractor is still responsible for at least 50% of the service portion of the contract to be performed directly.

7. Base Access, Security, Badging & Vehicle Entry Question 7.1: Badging Process, Sponsoring Organization, Deadlines, and Substitutions Solicitation References:Attachment 1, PWS Paragraph 5; Attachment 2 (Badge Request Form) Consolidated Question:Regarding the 3-week base access badge requirement: Who will serve as the Government sponsoring organization on the credential application? What is the deadline following contract award for submitting Attachment 2? Can alternate/backup personnel be submitted on the badge roster in advance, and what is the expedited procedure for crew substitutions due to unforeseen illness or turnover?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Identify Government sponsoring unit for Cape Canaveral SFS credential forms.

•Provide submission deadline for badge requests post-award.

•Confirm ability to badge alternate personnel to accommodate last-minute labor substitutions.

Government Response: The sponsoring unit would the be T-Minus 10-Mile staff. The contracting office who award the contract processes the access requests and coordinates with relevant personnel.

Submission for badge request post award is As soon as possible to avoid delays. This can take upwards of three weeks. All personnel to perform on the effort should have access requests submitted NLT 14 days after contract award.

The ability to badge alternate personnel is not expedited due to last-minute changes. Please ensure you have enough staff to cover should an alternate(s) be needed. These would also be due 14 days after award.

Question 7.2: Commercial Vehicle Inspections, Forklift Passes, and Gate Requirements Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3 & Paragraph 5; Vehicle Access Consolidated Question:What specific entry, registration, and inspection procedures apply to contractor commercial delivery vehicles, flatbeds, and forklifts entering Cape Canaveral Space Force Station? Are advance inspection appointments required, which commercial gate must be used, what are its operating hours, and do heavy equipment/forklifts require separate vehicle passes beyond driver credentials?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Specify gate location, operating hours, and inspection appointment procedures for commercial vehicles.

•Clarify registration and pass requirements for forklifts and installation machinery.

Government Response: Every truck and all contents will have to go through the inspection gate prior to entry on CCSFS. This is a first come, first serve basis. Of note, mornings are quite busy. Plan accordingly.

Please bring credentials to operate heavy equipment as a precaution.

Badge request processing also includes vehicle registration.

8. Proposal Submission, Execution Plan & Past Performance Evaluation Question 8.1: Execution Plan Format, Content, and Page Limits Solicitation References:Attachment 1, PWS Paragraph 5 (Execution Plan); Section C.4 Consolidated Question:PWS paragraph 5 requires an Execution Plan demonstrating equipment ownership or subcontractor quotes. Is there a required format, volume structure, or page limit for the Execution Plan? What specific technical details should be included to ensure technical acceptability?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify format, structure, and page limitations for the Execution Plan.

•Detail required technical elements and supporting quote documentation.

Government Response: No specific format is prescribed. The government should have sufficient information to evaluate how the contractor will satisfy the performance effort. Identifying information for subcontractors and evidence of coordination they are aware you are attempting to subcontract to them for the effort is requested.

Question 8.2: Past Performance Evaluation: Commercial Experience and Subcontractor References Solicitation References:CSS Section D, Evaluation Factors; Provision 52.212-2 Consolidated Question: Regarding the past performance evaluation: How will an offeror with no prior federal contracting past performance be evaluated (e.g., will a neutral rating be assigned)? May an offeror submit commercial (non-federal) event fencing and barricade past performance? Furthermore, may the relevant technical experience and past performance of a proposed fencing subcontractor be submitted and credited during evaluation?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify rating methodology for offerors lacking federal contracting history.

•Confirm acceptability of commercial/private-sector past performance references.

•Confirm whether proposed subcontractor technical experience and past performance will be evaluated.

Government Response: Past performance will be considered for related efforts. No record of past performance is neutrally rated. You may include past performance from related efforts. Past performance records from subcontractors may be submitted but this must be labeled accordingly as attributed to the subcontractor.

Question 8.3: Submission Deadlines, Time Zone, and Contracting Officer Contact Email Solicitation References:CSS Section C.4; SAM.gov Solicitation Notice Consolidated Question:Section C.4 lists question and quote submission deadlines at 1430 EST, whereas SAM.gov indicates Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Please confirm that the proposal deadline is 2:30 p.m. local Eastern time (EDT). Additionally, please clarify whether quotes should be submitted to stephen.ortiz-gonzalez@us.af.mil or stephen.ortiz-gonzalez@spaceforce.mil.

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm submission deadline time zone (EDT vs. EST).

•Confirm official email address for proposal submittal.

Government Response: Both e-mails stephen.ortiz-gonzalez@us.af.mil and stephen.ortiz-gonzalez@spaceforce.mil both work with @spaceforce being faster/preferred. Please ensure SrA Hallmon is also contacted as required. EDT is submission deadline.

9. Inspection, Operations, Terms & Contingencies Question 9.1: On-Site Coordination and Government Chain of Command Solicitation References:PWS Section 1 (On-Site Points of Contact) Consolidated Question:The PWS lists MSgt Alexander Batiz as on-site point of contact. Should the awarded contractor coordinate directly with these operational POCs leading up to setup day, or must all official communication flow through the contracting office until the event?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Clarify pre-event operational communications protocols between contractor, on-site POCs, and contracting office.

Government Response: Contractor may speak with either MSgt Alexander Batiz or Jill Huffman from the T-Minus 10-Miler office. The contracting office will be included in all coordination involving the event. Please cc SSgt Ortiz-Gonzalez, and SrA Hallmon on all respective coordination. Any changes to performance, adjustments, or otherwise the alter performance in anyway may only be issued in writing by the contracting office.

Question 9.2: Government Inspection, Acceptance Criteria, and On-Site Standby Presence Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3 & Paragraph 4; Inspection & Acceptance Consolidated Question:Who will perform final inspection and acceptance of the installed fencing and barricades following Friday setup, what are the specific acceptance criteria, and must a contractor representative remain on site during the active race on Saturday to handle emergency barrier adjustments?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Identify Government acceptance authority and inspection checklist.

•Confirm whether continuous contractor staffing is required during race hours.

Government Response: A member of the T-Minus 10-Miler team will be onsite for acceptance and inspection checklist.

The contractor team will need to be onside during race hours as they will be tearing down the fencing as the race passes through each section.

Question 9.3: Severe Weather, Mission Postponement, Cancellation, and Equipment Damage Solicitation References:PWS Paragraph 3; Outdoor Conditions Consolidated Question:If the event is postponed, delayed, or cancelled due to severe weather, coastal wind conditions, or Space Force launch activities, what contractual terms apply? How will the contractor be compensated for committed equipment rental, transportation, and labor costs? Additionally, who bears financial responsibility if contractor equipment is damaged during the event due to Government use, spectators, or weather?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Define cancellation, postponement, and delay cost recovery terms under firm-fixed-price.

•Clarify liability and damage replacement provisions for equipment on base.

Government Response: This is subject to negotiation after award and is not a solicitation discussion point. Generally, the contractor is entitled to cost incurred towards performance as they can evidence. If truly necessary, the government would negotiate the rescheduling of events.

The government would be responsible for equipment destroyed or damaged in relation to the performance if damage is caused by the government. Damage from weather, spectators, or otherwise would be a discussion and negotiation matter.

Question 9.4: Availability of Funds, Prompt Payment Terms, Insurance, and Wage Determinations Solicitation References:FAR 52.232-18; FAR 52.232-25; FAR 22.10; CSS Section E Consolidated Question:Please clarify the following administrative and financial items: (a) Given the Availability of Funds clause (52.232-18), when does the Government expect funding authorization to be finalized so that contractors can execute supplier commitments? (b) Will payment follow standard Prompt Payment terms (Net 30) or accelerated small business terms via WAWF? (c) Are there project-specific bonding, licensing, or insurance limits required beyond standard terms? (d) Does a Service Contract Act (SCA) Wage Determination apply to setup/teardown labor, and will a DOL Wage Determination be issued?

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Confirm target funding authorization timeline under 52.232-18.

•Clarify invoice payment timing in WAWF.

•Confirm bonding, licensing, and insurance requirements.

•Clarify applicability of Service Contract Labor Standards and provide applicable Wage Determination.

Government Response: This effort is a commercially available service as a commodity and so the Service Contract Act (SCLS) does not apply. The SCLS is more appropriate for construction and when the government would need to discuss a multi-day performance with labor hours per day as the rate of CLINS being charged. For a single one-time service as a commodity, it will simply be treated as a commodity at a flat singular price for the whole performance. Payment will follow the standard Net 30 days. Award will not be made until the government has funding. Current projection for funds certified is unknown. Contractors executing supplier commitments in advance of award do so at their own risk. No bonding, licensing, or insurance beyond commercial standards are prescribed.

Question 9.5: Historical Contract Information and Incumbent Details Solicitation References:Solicitation FA252126QB112 Consolidated Question:Was this temporary fencing and barricade requirement performed under a previous contract in prior years? If so, please provide the previous contract or award number, total contract value, and identify the incumbent contractor.

Key Clarification Items Included:

•Provide prior contract or purchase order number and historical award value.

•Confirm incumbent contractor information.

Government Response: The government declines to provide information in this solicitation regarding a separate contract effort. The effort is substantially revised from previous contracts for the 10-Miler events.
