Questions and Answers for N6426724Q0202

CLIN 002:

1. The size of the Barrier Bag - Mk5 Aft Shell (*75" x 59") on the solicitation CLIN 002 does not match the size of the barrier bag as specified in PDS 12129 Rev J (19) which specifies a bag size of 73" x 57". Is 75" x 59" the correct bag size for this CLIN? which is correct?

Answer: Please use the 75” x 59” size. We were given permission from our sponsor to add a couple inches to the width to account for tearing or ripping of the material when the receiving facility assembles the container. The drawing has not yet been updated to reflect the new size.

1. The size of the Barrier Bag - Nose Assembly (*37" x 27") on the solicitation CLIN 003 does not match the size of the barrier bag as specified in PDS 63316 H which specifies a bag size of 34" x 25". Is 37" x 27" the correct bag size for this CLIN?
