About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation N6817126QS009 – Housing Furniture, dated 15 June 2026. The document addresses eight clarifications regarding specifications and requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW) and Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).
Key clarifications include: all goods must be palletized as a mandatory DLA and Housing requirement to avoid manual unloading, with maximum pallet quantities specified in technical specifications to facilitate direct loading into shelving spaces and prevent damage. Quantity discrepancies were resolved, confirming 105 couches and 75 full springs as correct quantities (CLIN 0017 was erroneously labeled as "Couch" when it actually contains 25 full springs). Nightstand specifications were clarified as requiring 30/35 mm top thickness, with structure and drawers constructed from 20/22 mm laminated wood blockboard and back panels from 18/20 mm plywood (the same plywood specification also applies to chest of drawers). Wardrobe specifications confirm 3 metal hinges per front door (6 total) and 2 metal side hinges (one per side) that allow the wardrobe to fold for collapsibility. The wardrobes, though their stated dimensions initially appeared incompatible with the maximum 5 units per pallet requirement, can accommodate this quantity because they are delivered in folded/collapsed configuration. The document includes two reference photographs demonstrating the wardrobe's collapsible design and hinge configuration.

Solicitation N6817126QS009 – Housing Furniture
Questions and Answers:
Date 15 June 2026 __
1. Question 1: Is it mandatory for all goods to be palletized?
Answer 1: Yes, this is to avoid our contractor and/or DLA to unload the trucks/container manually. It is a DLA requirement and Housing’s requirement. Additional costs would be involved if work shall be performed without pallets.
2. Question 2: Are the maximum quantities per pallet indicated in the technical specifications’ mandatory requirements, or can alternative packaging/loading configurations be proposed, provided that the goods are delivered safely and without damage?
Answer 2: Yes, this is to load the pallet directly into the shelving spaces. Larger palletized items shall involve more work to unpacking and resetting in order to insert in the shelving spaces. In addition, as per past experience, too many items on the same pallets have caused damages that we would like to avoid.
3. Question 3: Couch quantity discrepancy: The SOW indicates 105 units, while the CLIN totals amount to 135. Please confirm the correct quantity.
Answer 3: The correct qty. of Couch requested is 105. CLIN 0017 was erroneously input as “Couch” but it is Full springs for qty 25.
4. Full Springs quantity discrepancy: The SOW requires 75 units, but CLINs list only 50. Please confirm the correct quantity or indicate if additional CLINs are missing.
Answer 4: The correct qty. of Full springs is 75. CLIN 0017 was erroneously input as “Couch” but it is Full springs for qty 25 (total 75).
5. Nightstand: conflicting top thickness: The SOW indicates both 30–35 mm and 25–30 mm. Please confirm the correct top thickness.
Answer 5: Answer: 30/35 mm is the correct top thickness, sorry for the confusion.
6. Nightstand: conflicting structure material: the SOW indicates both blockboard 20/22 mm and plywood 18/20 mm. Please confirm the required material
Answer 6: 18/20 mm is the back plywood panel of the night stand and also for the the chest of drawers which I did not indicate on the SOW. Please add to chest of drawers specifications.
Instead 20/22 mm is the thickness of the structure and drawers laminated wood blockboard.
7. Wardrobe: unclear hinge count: The SOW lists 3 hinges per door (total 6) plus 2 vertical side hinges. Please confirm the total number and function.
Answer 7: The 3 metal hinges per each door are on the two front doors (Total 6). The 2 metal hinges are on the sides (one per each side total 2) for the entire height of the wardrobe in order to allow the wardrobe to fold (see attached photo 1 and 2).
8. Wardrobe palletization: The SOW requires max 5 per pallet, but dimensions make this impossible. Please confirm the correct palletization.
Answer 8: The wardrobes are collapsible so they are folded when they are on the pallet, 5 will fit.
