3. Based on the information supplied during the Q&A period, in addition to the product additions which were supplied late in the day on Monday, August 18th, there is a substantial amount of new work which has been added to the process. We need time to contact the right vendors, gather information and most importantly check and review the information supplied in order to provide the best response to the government. We respectfully request consideration of an extension until at least September 10 allowing us proper time to complete the best packages we can supply. When considering this request please keep in mind that the manufacturers are all very busy with end of the government buying year requests which is delaying their response time.
