POP Box Solicitation Questions and Answers
Question #1: Based on the drawings in Attachment 0003 (drawing 13640074), it is difficult to discern the orientation of the foam within the box. Do you have another detailed image that we could reference?
Answer: We do not have another detailed image that you could reference, but please see the below following details that will help discern the orientation of the foam within the box.
1. Find #7 has a quality of 8 per the design drawing
1. Find #5 has a quality of 3 per the design drawing.
1. The qualities of Find #5 and Find #7 would be required to be delivered for each PoP box.
Question #2: In regards to the fiberboard and the foam planks, would they need to be shipped separately on a pallet?
Answer: All fiber boards and/or foam inserts would need to be shipped inside of the main POP Box. This would help keep the contents in the POP Box from moving during transit.
Question #3: Giving the volatility in the lumber market, are you considering a clause to protect offerers for large increases in raw materials and what index that would be based from?
Answer: There is not a clause in the contract to account for fluctuating material prices. ACC-Redstone is only issuing a one-year contract to account for the instability in the market.
Question # 4: I cannot find any mention of wood preservative treatment for the smaller POP Box (Attachment 0004 drawing 13081109). Would you clarify if there is supposed to be any?
Answer: The wood style, Type I, II, III and Grades A, B, C are determined by the type of munitions being shipped in the containers. Please refer to Section 1.2 of MIL-DTL-2427H.
Question #5: Can there be more than a 20% tolerance on the thickness or a change in the unskived requirement?
Answer: The Spec A-A59135 (Foam Packing Material, Sheet) calls out a Dimensional Tolerance +15% and -5%. 20% tolerance on the foam is not acceptable. Please refer to Section 3.9, within A-A59135, for the exact verbiage.
