This is a Questions and Answers document addressing inquiries from potential offerors regarding solicitation W519TC-26-Q-CALI for Gage Lab Calibration & Repair Services. The Q&A clarifies key requirements and expectations for bid submission by the March 12, 2026 deadline, with all questions due 72 hours prior to that date. This is a recompete of incumbent contract W519TC-25-P-2005, and offerors should direct inquiries to Bridget Garnica (bridget.m.garnica.civ@army.mil) or Bryce Willett (bryce.t.willett.civ@army.mil) at the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Rock Island Arsenal.

Offerors must quote only the cells highlighted in yellow on the price matrix tabs and should include all line items on the equipment list, with on-site calibration preferred for stationary items and laboratory calibration acceptable for portable equipment. The document specifies that there are 15 feeler gage sets (primarily 31-leaf) and 2 gage block sets requiring pricing; make and model information is largely unnecessary as calibration standards are uniform across brands for standard items. Travel costs and mileage may be added to applicable CLINs, and pricing for scales should reflect the most common capacity where breakdown is not feasible. Subcontracting is permitted with requirements outlined in Section 12.0 of the Performance Work Statement; if items are sent to different labs or third parties, offerors must provide subcontractor accreditations and notify if delays exceeding one week are anticipated. NIST certification pricing should be included where applicable, and previous certifications are available upon request.
