QUESTION NO. 5: We see where it states that the machine is shipping to the Republic of Mongolia.

However it also states in Shipping Instructions that DCMA will pick up. Does that mean that DCMA will be responsible for shipping to Mongolia and the vendor only need to ship to the US port designated by

DCMA?

QUESTION NO. 6: Is it required in the bid that the machine have both RFID tags and UID markings?

ANSWER: UID only.

QUESTION NO. 7: For the most part this type of unit will be made outside of the USA, because of the 50 Hz issue, can the inspection be carried out at the supplier facility? You would save money that way, these units do not have to comply with EPA tier system because they are going overseas.

ANSWER: All inspections are coordinated through DCMA for US owned companies only.
