Thank you for the great questions. See Q&A below.

There is no drawing. The dimensions listed in the SOW form a rectangle

Question from Email 2

1. RFQ lists material as polycarbonate. But then also lists Lexan brand polycarbonate. Do the windows have to be Lexan brand, or can they be any brand of polycarbonate so long as the specifications and salient characteristics are met? If Lexan is required, what grade? And is Brand Name or Equal authorized?

Lexan sheet of 9034 OR polycarbonate of an equal standard of any brand. The Sheet Shall be UV Resistant and Abrasion Resistant.

1. Is there a material specification to follow? Mil-spec, AMS, SAE, etc? If so, please specify type, grade, etc. of material. For example, mil spec A-A-59502 is the DoD specification document for Polycarbonate Sheet. But commercial specs can also be referenced.

Lexan sheet of 9034 OR polycarbonate of an equal standard of any brand. The Sheet Shall be UV Resistant and Abrasion Resistant.

1. Related to Question #2: What kind of Polycarbonate? i.e. General Purpose? UV resistant? Abrasion resistant? Etc. This will have a HUGE impact on functionality, price, and lead time.

Lexan sheet of 9034 OR polycarbonate of an equal standard of any brand. The Sheet Shall be UV Resistant and Abrasion Resistant.

1. 240” sheets are very large. Have these sized sheets been purchased before? If so, how did they fair shipping, lifting, etc? It can be done, but just curious if there has been any purchase history for this material.

The sheets were purchased before and were shipped with a long wooden box with a semi-truck. Currently, there no more information available on the last purchase.
