4. Uline also has a similar red shop rag(s-13712). Would this option work?

COR for approval prior to operational usage. This information was updated on page 7 of the PWS.

5. What size, color, and material type is required for the 350 Laundry Bags required for the Maintenance Unit?

a. These laundry bags are government-owned, so they will be provided to the contractor. They are white, 10”x11”, nylon bags. Appendix A: Method of

Washing, Packaging, and Item Ownership Per Organization on page 16 of the PWS has been updated to state the Maintenance Unit’s requirements.

7. Is there flexibility with the bar towel specifications? It is listed as 15"x15" white, terry cloth cleaning rag on the solicitation PWS, but would 16"x19" white towel with a blue stripe in the middle be acceptable?

Additional tablecloth and cloth napkins colors will be requested with advance notice by the government. Page 8 of the PWS and the price list have been updated to reflect this change.
