Submitted Questions

WARFIGHTER SUPPORT ENHANCEMENT STEWARDSHIP EXCELLENCE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

Submitted Questions Often times, items are shipped directly (drop shipped) from certain manufacturers based on specific orders and what is most advantageous to the Government.

The offerors are not to list their physical locations. Offerors should follow the below guidance when pricing items on the Price Evaluation List.

Offerors are to offer prices as if they are located geographically in the center of the Continental United States and are required to ship all items in any location within the Continental United States.

NOTE: Oconus Orders: All Oconus orders will be shipped to one of two Consolidation Points:
