About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation W912SV26QA024, a Request for Quote issued by the Massachusetts Army National Guard (MAARNG) for branded promotional items to support recruiting and retention efforts.
The document clarifies delivery, packaging, and product specification requirements across multiple item categories. Delivery can occur on separate days with individual items on pallets; all deliveries require signature and cannot be left unsecured outside the facility gate. For fleece knit beanies, the faux leather patch should be black with debossing and colorfill decoration applied to a 0.8" x 1" artwork, with the patch itself potentially larger to accommodate stitching; if bottom text becomes illegible at this size, it may be omitted. For lace-up hoodies, the simplified logo without bottom website text is not acceptable—the website is required per regulations. For football jerseys, only Artwork D should appear on the front centered below the V-neck (approximately 3"), with Artwork A appearing on both sleeve shoulders (approximately 4"); Artwork D requires a gold stroke that may need correction from the provided file. The solicitation's stated September 30, 2026 delivery date in Section F is inaccurate; the contract will be awarded by September 30, 2026, with delivery occurring approximately 60 days after award, following a timeline of artwork provision (7 days post-award), digital proofs (7 days after artwork receipt), production samples (14 days following proof approval), and final delivery (30 days following sample approval).

Q&A for Solicitation W912SV26QA024
1. Delivery Schedule Do all items need to be delivered at one time on pallets, or can individual items be delivered on pallets on separate days?
A: Individual items can be delivered separately.
2. Labeling and Packaging Are there any special labeling or packaging requirements for palletizing and delivering the items?
A: No special labeling or packaging requirements, however please specify that items require signature upon delivery – i.e. cannot be left outside of our facility gate unsecured, etc.
3. Fleece Knit Beanie Patch – Material and Decoration Regarding the patch for the fleece knit beanies, you previously indicated that it should be a leather patch sewn to the beanie with a full-color logo imprint (e.g., heat transfer).Could you please confirm whether you want real leather or faux leather?We understand that heat transfer on leather may not be recommended. For real or faux leather, debossing + colorfill may provide better results. Please confirm which option you would prefer.
A: Faux leather is acceptable. As is debossing+colorfill.
4. Patch Color Please confirm whether the leather/faux leather patch should be black.
A: Correct.
5. Patch Artwork and Size You indicated Artwork A with a patch size of 0.8" × 1". At that size, the artwork may be too small for the bottom text to remain clear and legible.
Would a simplified version of the logo without the bottom text be acceptable?
A: Artwork size is .8” x 1”. Patch itself may be larger to accommodate stitching, etc.. If bottom text is illegible, it may be omitted.
6. Lace-Up Hoodies Artwork For the lace-up hoodies, we would also recommend removing the bottom text/website from the logo…Please confirm whether the simplified logo without the bottom website text would be acceptable for the lace-up hoodies as well.
A: Website is required for this item & placement per our regulations.
7. Please clarify the front design for football jersey.
There seems to be conflicting information for the front side with regard to Artwork A and Artwork D both prescribed to be on front.
This is what we believe it would be (see attached mock ups) with only Artwork D on the front below the V-neck.
Please confirm if this is correct or otherwise advise if different.
White player number with matching gold trim on front and back as shown. 50% of products “16”, 50% of products “36” Sizes: XXL 300, XL 400, L 400, M 400 (Sizing per provided chart) Imprints: Full Color Logo [Artwork A] on both sleeve shoulders (~4”) and centered below V-neck (~3”); Full-Color Minuteman with Massachusetts Center Chest [Artwork D]. Player numbers as described above.
A: correct - just option D at that position.
That artwork seems to be missing its gold stroke. If that was an artwork file issue we can provide the correct version.
Delivery Schedule Clarification
Section F of the solicitation lists a delivery date of September 30, 2026. This is inaccurate, the correct schedule is contained in the Scope of Work.
The contract shall be awarded by September 30th, and delivery will be roughly 60 days after award based on the timeline below:
- MAARNG provides artwork within 7 days of award
- Contractor provides digital proofs within 7 days of receiving artwork
- Contractor provides production samples within 14 days following digital-proof approval
- Final delivery is required within 30 days following production-sample approval
