Question 1: Item 0010 you mention a dining table but in the specifications there are barstools mentioned as well, how many barstools are needed and shouldn't there be another Line for the barstools?

Answer 1:

The requirement is for a 5-piece Dining Set so therefore it should be one item.

Chairs

b. Chair Dimensions: 18.25 inches wide x 17.25 inches deep with a 36 inch overall height. Seat height is 18 inches

c. Chair Cushioned: beige colored vinyl, Cushions Thickness 2.5 inch

h. Table Material: Solid Oak

i. Finish: Medium Oak

Question 2: For all items with drawers, does the drawer also need to be solid wood or only certain parts? OR If yes, then can other solid wood other solid wood be used for the drawers?

Answer 2: Yes, all exposed wood surfaces, with the exception of those where solid wood cannot be used because of warping (e.g., front of drawer, back, top and sides of unit ) must be solid oak, the inside of the drawer does not need to be solid wood, plywood is acceptable but not "partial board/wood".

Question 3:

Item 0001:

a. Is the outlet American standard or Japanese standards? Which brand you want us to quote?

b. Per spec all edges router with beaded decorative edge design, there are so many edges, really you want all edges to have this design? If not, please can you specify which parts?

Answer 3:

a. The outlets must be American standard, the electrical sockets (outlets) for American made appliances, lamps, TV, radio, etc.; is the ("Type B" North American NEMA 5-15 standard outlet") The Government cannot provide brand names to quote.

b. Only routed edge is sufficient but must be routed edge.

Question 4:

Item 0004: Do you require for the drawer front only to the have beaded decorative edge design?

Answer 4: Routed edge is sufficient.

Question 5:

Item 0007: Same question as for CLIN 0004 Answer 5: Routed edge is sufficient

Question 6: Item 0011 for drapery, specify what fabric material to be quoted and if black out needed?

Answer 6: 100% Polyester and inherently flame retardant. Yes, black lining out is needed

Question 7: We noticed the specification for beds and frames but no supporting structure for in between the bed and the frame itself.

Will this project require something along the lines of a box spring or will the Twin XL Metal Mattress frame require the supporting structure be incorporated into the frame itself?

I also understand that the bed frame itself requires the function to accept a headboard and footboard. Does the bed frame unit need to allow disassembly or can the headboard and foot board be incorporated into the bed frame itself as well?

Answer 7: The headboard, footboard and twin XL metal spring frame should interlock with each other; there is no need for a box spring. The metal spring frame serves as a box spring.

Question 8: Can you tell me if we must be a Navy BPA holder to bid this project as I could not find this as a requirement in the bid documentation but wanted to check with you prior to preparing the bid documentation.

Answer 8: Navy BPA is not required. This solicitation is open market as a Total Small Business Set Aside. Again this is an open market purchase so therefore GSA pricing should not be referenced.

Question: 11: Item 0014 We noticed that the pillow case specified is the same size as the pillow itself. I have been speaking with my vendors and they have detailed to me that a pillow case of that size will not properly fit the specified pillow. (The pillow itself would indeed stick out on the open end of the pillow case)

My question; would it be acceptable to quote a pillow case of a larger size to adequately fit the specified pillow?

Answer 11: Finished Pillowcase Sizes / Standard Pillowcase Case Size: 21"W x 32"L

Question 12: Item 0013 the twin fitted bed sheets do not come in sets of two.

Question 0015: Item 0004 Night Stand: Section a. Dimensions state the sizes as 21.75”H x 16” square top with 18”H. Just want to verify what the 18”H is referring to and confirm that the nightstand will only be 16x16”

Answer 15: Square. Only the top will be 16 x 16. “with 18H” was deleted.

Question 0016: Item 0007 Three Drawer Chest: Section f. states that there is “Routed design work on drawer fronts”. This specification does not appear on the other units with drawers (nightstands, desks). Can you confirm that this is required, what this is, and if it is required on the other units as well?

Answer 16: All wood surfaces must be routed edge, there is no need for beaded decorative designs.

The routed edges on any wood surface are a safety precaution for the service members.

Question 0017: Item 0010 is a request for counter height chairs and counter height tables. The quantity given is 810. If the request is for 810 chairs – please advise how many tables are required. The drawing shows 4 chairs around some tables and 12 chairs around a grouping of 5 tables so it is not possible for us to calculate accurately the exact number of tables required on this RFQ.

Answer 17: Total quantity of table should be (746 tables), with each table having only (4 chairs) please make the corrections.
