SOLICITATION QUESTION & RESPONSE

N0018920Q0086 – CONFINED SPACE SAFETY COURSE

1. Question:

Section 5, Item 5.7 states "Workshop: Use of combustible gas, oxygen, and toxic chemical instruments and detector tubes. The instructors shall provide the students with tactile learning using these instruments. Students shall calibrate these instruments using calibration gases and will sample simulated atmospheres for hazards. This may involve having the instructors “spike” numerous containers with chemicals or creating simulated hazardous atmospheres in the containers."

Is it the expectation that the contractor provide the meters/instruments/calibration gases or will commands provide them?

2. Response:

This can be a virtual workshop conducted without leaving the classroom or done as an exercise online. The contractor should have at least one model of the instrumentation for the students to see, such as the multi-gas meter and the detector tubes. Gasses and hazardous materials not required.
