2. Question- The previous contract was a Small Business set-aside. Why is this solicitation issued as Full and Open competition?

3. Question- Should the CLIN descriptions on Attachment 5 for Line items 0001AA, 0001AC, 0001AF, 0001AE, 0001AF be changed to, “with front Helmet Identifier Mount” as the Helmet Identifier is a separate part listed in Line item 0001AU?

a. Answer- Proposed products must meet the minimum technical specifications listed in Attachment 2- Statement of Work.
