- Description
- Question What is the Static dissipation rate that is being looked for? Answer It is desired that the gloves possess static dissipation characteristics. The gloves should hold a minimum of 4000 volts when charged with 5000 volts, and the charge should dissipate in less than .5 seconds. Question We believe that our size run meets the 5 to 95 percentile requirement. If during the selection process the USMC decides that our size run doesn??????t meet the 5 to 95 percentile requirement, do we have the opportunity to add additional sizes or will we be eliminated at that point? Answer Selection will be made based on many performance characteristics. Size alone will not be a source for rejection. Question Would you please offer a more complete definition of the Natick non standard moisture wicking test method, such as a procedure or test method number that we might reference when requesting testing support from Natick Labs? In requesting a quote and lead-ti me for testing we were advised by Natick that this information would be helpful in processing our request. Answer: The test method can be referenced as Wicking Test Procedure, dated September 7, 1988 Question If neoprene and Velcro are not allowed in either solicitation can you please explain why? Our Velcro and neoprene are flame resistant and will be independently tested as necessary. Answer Offerors will be evaluated on the data and samples submitted. Offerors shall submit any gloves/material combination which meet the performance characteristics described in the solicitation. As stated in the solicitation, selection will be made based on th e evaluation criteria specified and best value to the Government. Question Do the materials you list as allowed include the materials that might be used as bindings, closures, padding, insulation etc? That is to say, can bindings, closures, padding and insulation or other minor parts of the glove be constructed with materials no t currently listed as allowed? Answer Offerors will be evaluated on the data and samples submitted. Offerors shall submit any gloves/material combination which meet the performance characteristics described in the solicitation. As stated in the solicitation, selection will be made based on th e evaluation criteria specified and best value to the Government. Question If these other materials are allowed, do they need to be tested as well? If so, can you clarify which tests apply to them.
