Life Raft Solicitation – FA462125Q0035
1. Is the USAF willing to accept Used Serviceable Material (USM) with certification and a 1 year warranty? Obtaining new material in 30 days from award may be challenging. I would assume that since this is a requirement for training then USM would be acceptable
• USAF is willing to accept USM if the product is functional and covered by warranty. Students will be using this to train in bodies of water simulating real world emergency situations, so it is critical that functionality is not impaired.
