M67854-18-R-1309 Q&A I PC Gen III (Carrier)
1. The pattern grade across all sizes does not appear to be correct. We confirmed that the grading looks the same on Version 10, as it did at a subcontractor who converted the patterns using an older version of Gerber Pattern Software. We did find this issue independently from our subcontractor off of patterns we individually requested to ensure the issues were the same.
Attached shows a couple examples of the inconsistency of the lines for your reference. Please advise.
The pattern grade is inconsistent across all sizes. Please follow the patterns as specified when creating the source selection samples. The Government will evaluate the source selection samples against the patterns as provided with the solicitation. Upon award, the Government will provide an updated pattern set with consistent grading.
2. Please confirm the color of the Source Selection Samples fabric and components. We understand the Classes called out in the PD but we wanted to confirm as we didn’t see it mentioned throughout the solicitation.
The Government will accept Black or Coyote for the Source Selection Samples fabric and components.
3. With the Pattern grade the way it is, we cannot confirm Zipper lengths for the plate insert on the vest or the side plate pouches. Can you please provide us with the final lengths for each carrier size to ensure we procure the correct sizes for the Source Selection Samples.
The Government is specifying no measurement for zipper lengths. Offerors should cut zipper chains from stock roll as appropriate to fit the corresponding pattern piece.
