We are open to any manufacturer as long as it meets the spec.

Does this mean that no foreign made product is, or will be considered, acceptable for the items described in the solicitation (see highlighted below). In the past, certain central American countries (i. e. El Salvador, Honduras) have been acceptable alternatives. China for example has not been. Can you please email me a list of acceptable countries of origin for this solicitation?

FAR Part 25.401(a)(1) indicates that the trade agreement subpart does not apply to acquisitions set aside for small businesses. This procurement is a small business set aside.

Specifically, El Salvador and Honduras are free trade countries falling under subpart 25.400.

There are other considerations such as domestic availability and price that are factored into an evaluation of proposals domestic or foreign.

Each proposer should evaluate their intended supply with compliance with FAR part 25.

Are all of the apparel items for this contract required to be made in the USA? Will the USACE accept/approve apparel made in the Caribbean basin countries? No. Please refer FAR Part 25.

When adding in item prices we noticed the ‘Subtotal’ category at the bottom of each Apparel item pricing and the ‘Total’ and ‘Final Total’ for CLIN’s. Given that there are four different sizes under most items how should the ‘Subtotal’ be calculated (I.E. add up all sizes pricing together for a column subtotal). Once all of the ‘Subtotals’ are calculated, would the ‘Total’ at the bottom be for each column? Then add up all columns and use that number for the ‘Final Total’? Please complete the bid schedule as directed.
