About this file
This document contains Questions and Answers for the CARC-L Request for Proposal (RFP) W912CH-24-R-0180. The Q&A addresses three key areas: color verification, packaging details, and pricing spreadsheet restructuring. The required colors are 222-Green, 222-Brown, 222-Sand, 222-Tan, and 222-Black, and this is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract where color quantities will be specified at the delivery order level. The document confirms acceptable standard configurations for NSN 8010-01-454-6415 (MIL-DTL-64159) and NSN 8010-01-454-5303, involving 2-gallon and 3-gallon paint pail packaging.
The contracting agency indicates that an upcoming amendment to the RFP will address additional questions, provide an extension to the solicitation closing date, and attach an updated pricing workbook that addresses both MIL standards. The document suggests the government is seeking a competitive total small business set-aside for a Chemical Agent Resistant Coating-Low Solar Absorption (CARC-L) Paint System, with an anticipated award date in the 4th Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management and qualified by U.S. Army Research Laboratory to manufacture CARC-L in specified colors according to military specifications.

Questions on the CARC-L Request for Proposal (RFP) W912CH-24-R-0180 (Notice ID:
W912CH24R0180CARC-L):
Question 3 will be addressed in an upcoming amendment to the RFP. An extension to the solicitation closing date will also be provided with the Amendment.
1. Color Verification:
• Could you please confirm the specific colors required under this solicitation?
• If any single color will require 50 gallons or more, please let us know, as this may allow us to request special packaging options from the manufacturer (e.g., 3-gallon pails).
Answer:
• Per C.1.2.2, the required colors are: 222-Green, 222-Brown, 222-Sand, 222-Tan, and 222-Black
• This is an IDIQ contract; the quantity of each color will be specified at the delivery order level.
2. Packaging Details:
• For NSN 8010-01-454-6415 (MIL-DTL-64159): We understand this is a 2-gallon fill in a 3-gallon pail to allow room for the 1-gallon hardener. Please confirm if this configuration is acceptable.
• For NSN 8010-01-454-5303: We understand this is only available in 1-gallon and 5-gallon pails. Are there any preferences or restrictions we should be aware of.
Answer:
• The standard configuration and packaging of the paint specific to the MIL standard is acceptable.
• The standard configuration and packaging of the paint specific to the MIL standard is acceptable.
3. Is there a way to restructure the quoting spreadsheet to allow a fair gallon-to-gallon pricing comparison and allow the MIL-DTL-53039 to avoid using the awkward MIL- DTL-64159 kitting pricing?
Answer:
• An updated pricing workbook that addresses both MIL standards will be attached to an upcoming amendment to the RFP.
