Question 11: “They appear to spec K&L for the bedframe who recently went out of business. We don’t offer a bed that meet these specs. This bunk bed is asking for a round tube with steel decks and adjustable brackets.

Our bunk bed is a square tube bed with non-adjustable spring decks (see the attached description from GSA advantage). I talked to production and they can supply steel decks but they will not be adjustable.

Do you think JBSA Lackland would accept a bunk bed with non-adjustable steel decks as long as the overall length of the bed does not exceed 79” in length.”

Please confirm if this is acceptable to the Government.

Government response: Pending response.

Question 12: Do you have floor and building plans (AS BUILT) including dimensions of doors and fire escapes?
