Answers to Technical Questions:

1. Are digital or paper patterns currently available for any of the 6 apparel items, and if so, how may we obtain them?

Answer: Gerber Accumark digital patterns will be available upon award and will be sent electronically.

2. Is any Bill Of Materials information (besides fabrics) currently available for any of the 6 apparel items, and if so, how may we obtain it?

Answer: See Attachment 7 Component List. The spreadsheet has two tabs, one for wet-weather and one for cold weather.

3. Is any measurement specification information currently available for any of the 6 apparel items, and if so, how may we obtain it?

Answer: There is not a measurement specification currently available.

4. What color(s) of trim items will be acceptable for each of the 6 apparel items?

Answer: Trim color should be a matching solid to OCP such as US Army color Tan 499.

5. Must all trim items be Berry Compliant, and if so, what, if any, documentation is required?

Answer: All trim should be Berry Complaint. See Combined Synopsis section Submission Requirements for documentation requirements.

6. Are any sketches of the 2 base layer items currently available, and if so, how may we obtain them?

Answer: See Attachment 6 3D Base Layer Undershirt & Drawer Drawing sketches of the base layers.

7. Are you able to provide a comprehensive list of non-fabric components (i.e, zippers, labels, etc.) that will be needed for the uniforms?

Answer: Yes, I will provide a list of non-fabric components. See Attachment 7 Component List.

8. When do you expect the award to the to be announced?

Answer: The award notification shall be announced on FBO.gov after the successful and unsuccessful offerors have been notified of the award.

9. Regarding the Design Review that will be held within 5 business days ACA, will Natick have a prototype at the Design Review meeting or will the Review be based on the pattern and drawings only?

Answer: Yes, Natick will have a prototype to review at Design Review meeting.

10. Regarding the scope of work. The third bullet point indicates that a mock-up sample shall be furnished to the government within 2 weeks ACA. However, the first bullet point (Design Review and changes) could take around 18 days for the Design Review process to be completed.

Can the government please clarify/reconcile these two bullet points in Section 2a. Scope of Work?

Answer: Mock-up samples with or without proposed minor modifications for manufacturing ease shall be provided by vendor within two weeks after contract award per second bullet of 2a.

11. Certain vendors have established minimum order quantities for fabric. Given that these are "experimental" fabrics and do not have other outlets of use or sale, we will be forced to embed this cost in our bill or materials. Otherwise, is Natick willing to purchase any excess fabric from the awardee?

Answer: Natick will not purchase excess fabric from the awardee.

12. It is unclear as to how bidders should submit pricing for the deliverables. Should we think of all of the deliverables (Design Reviews, prototypes, production) as one CLIN? Will a single price suffice?

Answer: A single price will suffice. In addition, see pricing structure of CLINs below.

CLIN 0001 – Wet Weather Experimental Jackets and Trousers:

Quantity 84; Unit Price: Total Price:

CLIN 0002 – Extreme Cold Experimental Parka and Trousers:

Quantity 78; Unit Price: Total Price:

CLIN 0003 – Superfine Knit Shirts and Trousers:

Quantity 100; Unit Price: Total Price:

13. I would like to confirm that we are to produce two versions of the Wet Weather Outer Shell Jacket, thereby we produce 42 of EACH configuration as follows:

Configurations:

a) Body Outer Shell = WL Gore / 42 units

b) Body Outer Shell = PolarTec / 42 units Total = 84 jackets

Answer: Correct, two versions of wet weather outer shell jacket with 42 of each for a total of 84 jackets.

14. Re: delivery date: if in fact the vendors cannot provide the required materials in ample time allowing for the production processes, is the 21 December 2018 delivery date open for possible extension? (i.,e, at this moment we are anticipating up to 12 weeks after date of award for Brookwood production materials to be available)

Answer: Delivery date is not open for extension.

15. (Jacket L6) Front view of the jacket shows that the back pattern has a facing next to the zipper. However the back inside view doesn’t show it. Please clarify.

Answer: Offeror may illustrate modification of construction if desired. Please see Attachment 7 Component List regarding findings.

16. (Jacket L6) Front view shows that front panels have cord locks at the hem of the side seams , but the inside view doesn’t show it. Please clarify where the cord locks located.

Answer: Offeror may illustrate modification of construction if desired. Please see Attachment 7 Component List regarding findings.

17. (Pant L6 - Side Seam) Is the Edgestitch on the front and back? Front view shows that the edgestitch is only on the bottom part of the leg. Side view shows that it goes all the way from the hem to the top waist edge. However, the Side view on the second page shows that it’s on the back as well.
