About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document providing official Government responses to inquiries from interested offerors regarding the solicitation for locker storage solutions and security caging for the Minnesota Army National Guard (MN ARNG) in Rosemount, MN. The Q&A clarifications address vendor questions related to both Part A (bulk storage lockers) and Part B (wire mesh security caging) requirements, with responses that inform bidders on technical specifications, installation responsibilities, and project logistics.
The document supports Amendment 0002 to the original solicitation (W912LM-26-Q-A012), which also included Amendment 0001 clarifications. Key amendments established that all 164 lockers must be delivered as independent, fully enclosed "starter" units (Part A responsibility), and formalized 10-gauge wire mesh woven into a 1" x 1" diamond pattern as an acceptable alternative to the original mesh specification for Part B. The Q&A responses address vendor technical and logistical questions to ensure accurate bid preparation. Quotes are due June 12th, 2026, at 1000 CDT, with all submissions directed to Contracting Officer Eric Ahlgren at eric.a.ahlgren.civ@army.mil. The solicitation is issued under FAR Part 12 (Commercial Products and Services) on Standard Form 1449, with Part B work requiring mandatory post-award site verification and custom on-site fabrication around building obstructions as contractor responsibility.

| Question # | Vendor Question | Official Government Response |
| 1 | For the lockers, are they all under a 10' high ceiling and no obstruction? Obstructed ceilings, for example, are interfering ducts or beams that would require some of the lockers to be mended to shape in those areas. | The Statement of Work (SOW) specifies a maximum locker height of 90 inches. This height was chosen to ensure all lockers will fit under existing ceiling obstructions in the designated rooms. No on-site modification of the lockers will be required. |
| 2 | Are all lockers going to be side by side? I am asking this because there are two types: The starter unit and the adder unit. Please identify how many starter and adder units are required or if you want all of them to be starter units. | Per the SOW, the lockers will be installed by the Government in various configurations, including back-to-back and stand-alone arrangements. Therefore, all 164 lockers must be quoted as starter units (i.e., fully enclosed, stand-alone lockers). Offerors may refer to Attachment 1 for the conceptual layout; the small boxes on the diagrams indicate the intended locker configurations. The numbers inside those boxes represent soldier counts (e.g., a box labeled "18" signifies a row of 9 double-stacked lockers). |
| 3 | For the caging, is this a floor-to-ceiling installation? | Yes, all wire mesh security caging is required to be installed from the floor to the finished ceiling. |
| 4 | Are cage ceilings (roofs) to be included or left open? | No cage ceilings (roofs) are required for any of the enclosures. All caging will be open at the top, bracing against the existing building ceiling structure for stability as required. |
| 5 | Does the Government have a layout for the OCIE lockers? | Yes. The conceptual layout for the OCIE lockers is depicted in Attachment 1 of the solicitation. Please note, however, that all 164 lockers must be quoted as stand-alone "starter" units, not "adder" units, to accommodate various final configurations. |
| 6 | SOW Section 3.1 specifies a 10-gauge woven wire with a 2” x 1” rectangular opening. Is a 10-gauge wire mesh woven into a 1 ½” x 1 ½” diamond mesh pattern an acceptable alternative? | Yes, a 10-gauge wire mesh with a 1 ½” x 1 ½” diamond mesh pattern is considered an acceptable "or equal" alternative to the specified rectangular mesh. Offerors may quote either configuration. |
| 7 | Can you supply photos of the cage installation areas and note any obstructions? The amount of on-site modification can vary greatly and will affect our material and labor quote. | Yes, photos of representative installation areas are being provided as a new attachment to this solicitation to give all offerors an understanding of the site conditions and overhead obstructions. However, the SOW requires the winning contractor to perform a mandatory post-award site visit to take their own final field measurements for all obstructions and cage dimensions prior to fabrication. The Government will not be providing a pre-bid list of all obstruction sizes. |
