Questions & Answers
Solicitation No. NIST-RFQ-24-7301395 Environmental Control System Filter Changes and Maintenance
1. In our experience with Amerex style filter bags and cages, the bags are 169.5" and the cages are 169", but the solicitation references a longer length. The wire gauge identified in the solicitation also differs from our experience. Would you please confirm the bag and cage lengths and the wire gauge?

11-gauge wire is sufficient for the cages. The Statement of Work has been revised to reflect this update to specifications.
