About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for FBI RFP 15F06726R001170 regarding an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for laboratory gloves. The solicitation is a Total Small Business Set-Aside for both latex and nitrile laboratory gloves to support the FBI's Laboratory Division. The Q&A clarifies key requirements and addresses offeror inquiries regarding pricing, specifications, delivery, and proposal submission. Notably, the Government confirmed that pricing must be provided for all glove types and colors, quotes must remain valid for 90 calendar days, and all orders must meet a 5-7 day After Receipt of Order (ARO) delivery requirement. The contract will result in a single award with no multiple awards or line-item awards considered. Economic Price Adjustments, shorter fixed-pricing periods, and the Nonmanufacturer Rule waiver will not be implemented.
Additional clarifications address product specifications, stating that light green and light gray colors are acceptable for powder-free nitrile gloves provided they offer high contrast for identifying dark residue or contaminants. Manufacturer technical data sheets and ASTM compliance documentation are sufficient for demonstrating chemical-resistance performance, and a manufacturer's letter of authorization serves as adequate documentation for authorized resellers. The Government will coordinate delivery appointments and site-access instructions, including DBIDS clearance requirements, after contract award. Attachment 1 (Glove Specifications) and Attachment 2 (Product Pricing Matrix) are current as of May 15, 2026, with any amendments to be posted on SAM.gov.
