Questions and Answers - FA487724QA505

Question 1: RFQ FA487724QA505 has a few CLIN that state Custom Logo or Custom Embroidery. I don’t see any image as to what these are supposed to look like. Could you furnish me with these logo images?

d. CLIN 0004 - PD Sabre3 Custom Logo (Quantity: 4 EA)

g. CLIN 0007 - PD Lightning Custom Logo (Quantity: 4 EA)

o. CLIN 0015 - UPT Custom Embroidery Ring Cover; Riser Cover; Back; Pad Handles (Quantity: 16

EA)

p. CLIN 0016 - UPT CUSTOM EMBROIDERY SIDE WALL; LEG PADS (Quantity: 16 EA)

q. CLIN 0017 - UPT Custom Logo Digitizing & Embroidery (Min Chg) (Quantity: 1 EA)

Answer 1: Please see attached images for the Custom Logo’s. To clarify where the images will go, the American Flag image will be used on the Ring Cover and the AFSPECWAR image will be used on the container sidewall. Additionally, the AFSPECWAR image that will be used for the container will also be the same image that is required on the SABRE 3 & Lightning Custom Logo. The image will need to be on the bottom skin of the Canopy, so it is visible from the ground during flight.

Question 2: In addition, all of the options requested are not able to all go together. You can do an CLIN 0013 - UPT Student Vector SE Adjustable Harness with CLIN 0014 - UPT RW8 Rings but not with the CLIN 0019 - UPT Variable Geometry Harness.

You can do CLIN 0019 - UPT Variable Geometry Harness but the rings have to be a Removeable D Ring, and they are in a different location. You can’t get the CLIN 0019 - UPT Variable Geometry Harness with the CLIN 0014 - UPT RW8 Rings.

Please check with the end-user to see what they want.

Answer 2: After calling UPT, the contractor is indeed correct. UPT changed what they were able to make so we will continue with the following:

CLIN 0013 - UPT Student Vector SE Adjustable Harness with CLIN 0014 - UPT RW8 Rings but not with the CLIN 0019 - UPT Variable Geometry Harness.
