1. I am working on the above solicitation and went to our manufacturers and gave them the specs of Ansi/ISEA 207-2006 and the additional callouts as spelled out on the quote. The incident command series vest with Royal Blue top and Lime bottom with the 5 point breakaway will not meet the spec because the vest is too short for the proper amount of lime on the bottom of the vest. Could you please let me know who the last manufacturer of the vest was as we may be able to pursue the spec and try to get the proper quote information to you. I would appreciate any and all information you could pass on to me , so I can issue a competitive quote.

Answer: As a portion of the research that was conducted for this acquisition the requirements personnel performed an internet search and found several vests that are advertised as meeting the ANSI/ISEA requirement. This is the first acquisition for the vests for this command and we do not have any historical information available.
