Is there a DIBBS NSN for this? Or is this just a SAM thing? Unfortunately, we don’t have a bidding process in place outside of DIBBS. This acquisition is being conducted directly by the Air Force (766 ESS) via SAM.gov and is not hosted on DLA DIBBS.

Please confirm whether the Government will accept products manufactured in Japan that meet all salient characteristics and qualify as Japanese qualifying-country end products under DFARS 252.225-7001.

Yes. Under DFARS 252.225-7001 / DFARS 225.872-1, Japan is a designated Qualifying Country. Products manufactured in Japan that meet all salient characteristics and qualify as Japanese qualifying-country end products are acceptable.

Would the Government also accept a combination of U.S.-manufactured and qualifying Japanese-manufactured products within the complete lighting system?

Yes. A combination of compliant U.S.-manufactured and qualifying Japanese-manufactured products is acceptable, provided each item fully meets the salient characteristics and applicable Buy American / Trade Agreements / Qualifying Country provisions.

5 Please provide additional manufacturer part numbers/specs.

Brand names are only listed for certain items where specific standards were requested. For items without a listed brand name or part number, offerors may quote any commercial product that meets or exceeds the minimum specifications in the Salient Characteristics sheet. Offerors must include technical product literature (spec sheets) with their quote to demonstrate compliance.

Can CLIN 0001 be split, or will you accept a quote on the lighting and pole package only?

Currently, CLIN 0001 is evaluated as an all-or-none single award package for the complete system. Quotes must cover all items specified in the Salient Characteristics.

Must the poles be wood, or are engineered steel or aluminum sports lighting poles acceptable?

The requirement specifically calls for 50-foot Class 1 Wood Utility Poles pressure-treated with DCOI per AWPA P8-9A / AWPA U1 (Use Category 4B) to integrate directly with existing base engineering standards and field installation capabilities. Engineered steel or aluminum poles are not acceptable substitutes at this time.

3) The spec lists 48 fixtures but 6 cross arms, each rated for four fixtures — and the mounting hardware is quantified at one arm per pole. Should the arm count and hardware be 12 sets, or is the fixture quantity 24?

To support this configuration, the quantities for cross arms, mounting hardware, and associated electrical items have been increased in the updated Salient Characteristics document attached to this amendment.
