Solicitation Questions and Answers 15 June 2022:

Question: In Section 52.217-9 (Option to Extend Term of the Contract) sub section c, it says total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed years and 10 months. There was no number listed before years. The last two contracts have been 5 years and with this one being for 3, I was wondering if that clause were set to leave it open to extend to a full 5 years or if it was to mean something else.

Answer: The missing number of years was an oversight and is corrected through Amendment 0001. The total duration if all options are exercised is 3 years.

Question: Would it be possible to consider extending the date for submission?

Answer: Under normal circumstances 30 days would be considered a sufficient amount of time for quote preparation, however as a result of corrections being made that may impact quote preparation and past performance questionnaire submission the solicitation closing date has been extended.

Question: Would it be possible to send file copies of the patterns? Or at a minimum examples of the lapel shapers for the coat?

Answer: All required patterns will be provided after award to the winning offeror. Please reference the provided specifications for quote preparation purposes.
