3. The IR Thermometer section appears to reference GFCI tester specifications. Can you confirm the intended requirements?
ANSWER: This was a cut and paste error. Item 3 should read:
Thermoworks IRT-2 with standard type T straight probe or equal.
Minimum IR Range -40 to 250 deg F Minimum IR accuracy +/- 1.8 deg F from 32 deg to 149 deg F
Thermocoupler (probe) specifications Minimum Range 32 deg F to 149 deg F minimum Minimum Accuracy +/- 0.9 deg F from 32 deg F to 149 deg F
Must include a type T straight Penetration Probe, standard tip
4. Could you please provide the shipping address for this requirement so we can ensure accurate pricing and freight calculations?
ANSWER: Walter Graves AFCEC/CIMW
3515 S. General McMullen Drive
San Antonio, TX 78226
5. We respectfully request clarification regarding Item 7 (IR Thermometers / Probe Kit). The specifications listed under this item appear to reference requirements associated with a 120V AC GFCI receptacle tester, including UL 1436 and CSA C22.2 No. 160 certifications and receptacle fault detection functions. Could the Government please confirm whether:
A. Item 7 is intended to be an IR thermometer with probe kit, or
B. The specifications listed should instead correspond to a GFCI receptacle tester, or
C. A combined dual-function tool is required.
Additionally, if an IR thermometer is intended, could the Government please provide the correct specifications (temperature range, accuracy, probe type, and any applicable certifications) for that item.
This clarification will ensure accurate and compliant pricing and submission.
We also note that the current Item 7 specifications appear to include duplicated requirements consistent with the GFCI tester described in Item 5. We want to ensure we interpret the solicitation correctly and avoid any inadvertent misunderstanding of the intended equipment.
ANSWER: This was a cut and paste error. Item 3 is a combination IR and probe thermometer. It should read:
Thermoworks IRT-2 with standard type T straight probe or equal.
Minimum IR Range -40 to 250 deg F Minimum IR accuracy +/- 1.8 deg F from 32 deg to 149 deg F
Thermocoupler (probe) specifications Minimum Range 32 deg F to 149 deg F minimum Minimum Accuracy +/- 0.9 deg F from 32 deg F to 149 deg F
Must include a type T straight Penetration Probe, standard tip
