Q4 For items (O & P) below is there a specific First Aid Guide and OSHA Contents card that we need to use? Will those be provided or at a minimum a sample of one?
A4 The synopsis requires First Aid Guide and OSHA Contents card. There is no specific First Aid Guide or OSHA Contents card. There is not a sample available.
Q5 Does the FAR 52.225-1 Buy American Act?Supplies apply to all of the elements of the Shelter in Place Emergency Supply Kit or to some of the elements? If the FAR applies to some of the kit, please provide a list of the foreign articles that will be treated as domestic for this contract.
A5 See Amendment 1 ?Questions and Answers. All items in the SIP Kits should meet the domestic end product definition found at FAR 25.003 (2).
Q6 Is there a preference to use a drawstring bag or a zipper bag that resembles that of a backpack?
A6 There is no preference.
Q7 Since the shelf life of D size batteries are unpredictable at times of need, can any other flashlight or radio be used that does not require D batteries such as a squeeze flashlight or rotation outpower supply device flashlight/radio providing that the item meets requirements and is less costly than ones with the batteries?
A7 See Amendment 1 -Questions and Answers.(D cell batteries only)
Q8 What color do you want the bags?

A11 See Amendment 1 ?Questions and Answers.(D cell batteries only)
Q12 In looking at this solicitation and I have a question as to the buy American Act. Now don?t get me wrong I believe in this Act but if we were to purchase all of these items and place them into the kit it would be very expensive. Now is there a percentage of the kit that has to be made in American or do the products have to be assembled in the USA? Or do the products that are placed into the kit have to be assembled in the USA?
