160. It appears that the stated edge detail limits competition greatly and is designed for one manufacturer. What is the reason for the pre form edge requirement and are you aware that this requirement will virtually eliminate competition?

ANSWER: The requirement specifies post form edge not pre form edge. The reason for this requirement is that we have found that this type of edge protects the laminate top and reduces its failure. It is not DISA’s intention to eliminate the competition for that reason we will also accept eased edges and knife edges.

161. Reference #16, Privacy Screen: Original specs call this out as a "Panel mounted privacy screen, 12-18"High".
