Q3: The SOW asks for 9 stationary panels in some areas and 8 stationary panels in other areas with holes to drill into concrete. What is the correct number?

Q4: Can you please clarify the ballistic rating required? The SOW references “Ballistic Level III Armor” but specifies protection against 7.62x51mm and 5.56x45mm rifle rounds, which would require UL 752 Level 8, not Level 3, which is handgun-rated.
A4: Level 5 would be sufficient.
Q5: Would a 60–90 day lead time for delivery be sufficient?
A5: Yes
Q6: Are these panels for interior or exterior use?

Q10: Can you clarify if "depth" dimension needs to be followed?
A10: There is no depth dimension in the original SOW. Manufacturer can determine thickness so long as it meets the level 5 requirements.
