004 Is $150,000 the total amount for the life of the BPA or the amount per each year for 5 years?

$150,000 USD is the Total for five (5) years.

005 I see that he initial buy will be done some time in September, do you all have any idea how many sets of uniforms per worker or how many uniforms total that will be purchased in the initial purchase?

The manufacturer wants to be sure that can agree to meet the 30 day lead time and without having an idea of the qty to be purchased in September it is difficult for them to comply.

We anticipate ordering approximately 200 Bomber Jackets, 200 shirts and 100 pants for the initial order.

006 It seems to be unclear which method you all would like for the submission of the bids. Do you require both electronic and hard copies or just an electronic?

Volume I and Volume III is both electronic and hard copy.

Volume II is the Sample of Offerors Similar Product which is to be mailed or hand delivered.

Updated. The hour and date specified for receipt of Offers is extended to 4:00pm EST on 29 August 2012.

009 Do both patches have to FR compliant? In looking at the pictures it looks like they used poly thread that has a shine to it.

Nomex thread is dull which is why I don’t think they are FR compliant.

Can you double check this please?

The patches do not have a FR rating and the thread is to match the color of the patches.
