To meet solicitation requirements. The Site Manager and Alternate Site Manager must have either the required Bachelor's degrees above and three years' experience or five years of progressive management experience in distribution operations similar in size and complexity to the operation offered in this contract without a degree.

4 The sizing of the 34 degree cooler of 40,000 Sq. Ft seems larger based on the volumes given, is there any flexibility in that requirement?

Attachment 1 – Section 3

No. Based on the history of changing flight schedules, all three drops may show up on the same day. The contractor must have space to adequately work all three if needed.

This will allow cross-docking space, room to allow contractors to come pick up rejected product, as well as space for surge.
