About this file
This file contains RFI (Request for Information) responses submitted by industry partners in response to the 108th ADA BDE Access Control System solicitation (W9124726QA035). The document is an Excel spreadsheet documenting questions and answers exchanged during the pre-award phase of this Army Materiel Command procurement. The RFI submission window closed after the site visit on 9 September 2026 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with responses consolidated and published on 14-15 September 2026 in a non-attribution format to all qualified offerors. These RFI responses informed a solicitation amendment (W9124726QA0350001) and revised Statement of Work issued prior to the final quote submission deadline.
The consolidated RFI responses addressed clarifications and guidance on requirements for an access control system to be implemented at two locations for the 108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. Offerors were required to submit revised quotes by 22 September 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT via email to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist, with submissions organized in three volumes: Volume I (pricing in Excel format), Volume II (technical capability in searchable PDF not exceeding 25 pages addressing staffing, equipment, and project plans), and Volume III (past performance in searchable PDF not exceeding 10 pages covering up to three relevant projects from the last three years). The RFI responses document serves as the basis for understanding how industry input shaped the final solicitation requirements and conformed guidance issued to all bidders.
