Written Inquiries and Answers.pdf

This document is a Written Inquiries and Answers response issued by the Colorado Department of Corrections (CO DOC) and Correctional Industries (CCI) for RFB DQ 2027000046 regarding Foam Mattress Cores. Two inquiries were submitted by potential bidders seeking clarification on the specifications and materials for the mattress cores. The first inquiry questioned whether the intention was to specify fire-resistant neoprene foam cores instead of polyurethane foam cores; CO DOC and CCI responded that this was not the case. The second inquiry asked whether the specifications from the previously awarded RFB DQ 2026000123 (Mattress Cores - CCI, awarded in October 2025) should be utilized to ensure consistent fire performance criteria and physical characteristics; the agencies confirmed that the specifications listed in DQ 2027000046 are correct and distinct from the prior award.

The document provides minimal additional detail regarding pricing, set-asides, or other contractual terms. The responses indicate that the specifications for foam mattress cores in DQ 2027000046 have been carefully established and are appropriate for the current solicitation, with no intention to adopt specifications from the previous related contract award.
