HSCG23-10-R-DOG624.”

A5. No footwear in this solicitation.

Q6. a “On the bid worksheet there is no mention of plates however in the "Requirements Contract" they are mentioned several times. My question is how and where do we add the quotes for the plates if they are desired in the bid?” (sic) Q6.b “clarify the BPS is actually the MAC-R Carrier, BALCS panels (front and back) and the ESAPI (front and back) with side ESAPI plates? The reason for the clarification is the response spreadsheet has the MAC-R carrier by itself without any space for the other components for part numbers such as the Level IIIA soft panels and hard plates. The rest of the spread sheet has spaces for all accessories and ballistic panels for the MAC-R. The SOC-V concealable vest which will also have the BALCS level IIIA soft panels and front, back and side ESAPI plates only has one location for part numbers but are we to assume that the Level IIIA BALCS front, back panels and ESAPI plates to be quoted once and can be used with the MAC-R or SOC-V? If that is the case, should we combine the Level IIIA BALCS and ESAPI plates with the MAC-R or SOC-V pricing?”

A6. Plates are not a requirement. The carriers shall be able to hold the Plates specified.
