QUESTIONS: ANSWER:

Does the agency supply the emblems and badges that need to be sewn on the specified items? No, vendor will supply

2 Can you provide the current contract pricing?

The ceiling price was $2,057,167.00. The individual item prices are considered proprietary to the company who had the previous BPA.

3 Are sample items available to inspect? Not at this time

In some cases, there are items listed that have inconsistent descriptions between the "Item", "Part Number" and "Special Description" column. I would like to know what column should be considered if the description does not match the model number or color? The Part Number column should be considerd

In some cases, the manufacturer is not listed, and the corresponding part number does not match a known manufacture. The incumbent vendor may be using private label items. Would the agency accept an alternative item that meets the required specifications? Yes, indicate in bold font.

In addition to recruit classes, does the agency place bulk orders or are orders placed for individual officers? Bulk orders are placed- not individual orders

Row 13 and 14 Class A hats: Can a sample be provided? There seems to be information missing in the description. For example, there is no description of the required hat buttons used to secure the front strap. No samples are available

Row 33 and 34 Jacket Ceremonial Team: Can a sample be provided? The description does not provide enough information to identify the item. For example, the colors of soutache braid are not included and the general style of the jacket is not referenced.

Without a sample or complete specifications these items cannot be correctly identified. Not at this time

Row 38 White Dress Shirt: the description lacks enough detail to accurately bid. Can a sample shirt be provided? Not at this time

Rows 39 - 55. Maelstrom Grey Shirts. It seems that these shirts are custom made by Unimex. I contacted Unimex and was told that they are the incumbent vendor for the PFPS and they intend on participating in the current solicitation. Therefore I cannot not purchase the shirts from them. Can the agency provide a sample shirt so we can provide an accurate bid.

Row 89 Soft Shell jacket. Tru Spec model number is crossed out and Unimex's Maelstrom branded jacket is listed. A sample is needed so I can find an equal product? No samples are available
