Questions and Answers:

Question: Please clarify whether the required sample must be an exact representation of the PMC Holder proposed for production, including the embossed VA seal. Creating the required embossing may require the Quoter to incur tooling/die costs.

As stated in the solicitation, all costs associated with preparation and submission of the required sample are the responsibility of the Quoter.

Question: The solicitation identifies the required PMC Holder exterior color as Navy Blue. The current PMC Holder appears to be closer to Royal Blue. Please clarify the required exterior color.
