Attach_4 Q and A.docx

This is a Questions and Answers document accompanying a federal contract solicitation for CherryLOCK G689 Rivet Kit components. The document clarifies three key points for potential vendors responding to solicitation FA469026Q0044. First, when delivery timeline discrepancies exist between SAM.gov and the SF1449 form, the 180-day delivery window after contract award takes precedence over the September 29, 2026 date previously listed. Second, for CLIN 0002 (Pulling Heads and Adapters Kit), vendors may submit either a single lump-sum price for the complete kit or provide individual unit pricing as an informational breakdown within their technical quote. Third, to demonstrate technical acceptability, vendors need only provide exact Cherry Aerospace model numbers that confirm brand-name compliance; a separate technical description document is not required if model number matching is clearly demonstrated in the quote.

The quote submission deadline remains 18 September 2026 at 09:00 AM MDT, and all other solicitation terms and conditions remain unchanged. This Q&A document is directly related to the government's procurement requirements for two G689 pneumatic-hydraulic riveter guns, two 680B46 straight adapters, and two units each of Cherry pulling heads (models H9055-3, H9055-4, H9055-5, and H9055-6) for the 28 Maintenance Squadron at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota. The contract will be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis to the responsible offeror whose quote represents the best value based on technical acceptability and price evaluation factors.
