1. Delivery timeline – Is the stated requirement of “60 days after receipt of contract” firm, or would the Government entertain a slightly longer lead time if the OEM provides a confirmed production slot?
0. Acceptable, estimated installation on or before 1 September 2025.
1. Letter of Supply/Authorization – Must an OEM authorization letter accompany the initial quote, or may it be provided within a specified number of days after award?
1. Yes.
1. Scope of effort – Please confirm this procurement is bench delivery only (FOB destination, dock-side) and does not include removal of existing units, in-plant rigging/placement, electrical hookup, or calibration.
2. Delivery only, there is no dock. The United States Government (USG) will unload and move the equipment.
1. Receiving constraints – Will Tinker AFB provide dock access and forklift support, or should our price include lift-gate service and inside placement?
3. USG will unload the equipment. Delivery specifics will be on the fully executed award along with a delivery point of contact.
1. Partial shipments – Are partial deliveries acceptable (e.g., 3509A-01 benches first, 3606 benches later) provided all five units arrive within the contractual delivery window?
4. Acceptable if there are no extra costs for partial deliveries and ALL deliveries are made on or before 01 September 2025.
1. Small-business cash-flow relief – Would the Government consider FAR 32.112-3 progress payments or accelerated acceptance to facilitate small-business financing?
5. Progress payments are not allowed for commercial items, however we have 30 days to complete/accept an invoice once submitted in WAWF, as long as the product is received.
1. Technical submittal format – Will commercial OEM brochures meeting Attachment 1 specs satisfy the technical factor, or do you prefer a requirement-by-requirement compliance matrix?
6. Commercial manuals are satisfactory. USG does not expect the equipment has changed much from the current inventory.

7. The equipment must be packaged/shipped to protect from the weather (rain) and reduce any chance of rust.
1. Warranty period – Is the OEM standard 12-month parts & labor warranty acceptable, or should we quote an extended term?
8. Standard 12-month parts & labor warranty is acceptable.
1. Quote format – May we submit on an SF-1449 with continuation sheets, or do you prefer the solicitation’s CSS quote sheet?
9. Yes, that is acceptable as long as all information from the top part of the quote sheet is on the SF1449.
1. Subcontractor disclosure – If we team with an authorized stocking distributor, must that distributor be identified as a subcontractor in our quote?
10. No need to identify any subcontractors.
1. WAWF invoice type – Do you prefer a single “Combo” WAWF document or separate Receiving Report and Invoice documents at acceptance?
