Response: Upon review of the above question and original requirement “Linear (3 containers long by one (1) container wide)… and Parallel (one (1) container and one (1)dolly, by two (2) containers long)…” the Government realized a clarification was needed; therefore, the Government has deleted the above quotations and revised the SOW to reflect “Or” .
