The quantities of supplies or services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 5years. INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE: FAR clause 52.247-34 F.o.b. Destination (November 1991) RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS: 1) Does the Buy American Act Clause apply to this requirement? Answer: NO. FAR clause 52.225-1 Buy American Act ??? Supplies (June 2003) has been removed from the requirement. FAR Clause 52.225-5 Trade Agreements (Jan. 2005) does apply to this requirement. 2) In whose catalog may I find the sole codes as described in the bid? Answer: Disregard sole codes. All shoes must meet OSHA requirements and ANSI Z41 standards www.astm.org. 3) Except in the case of the "professional" shoes, are the colors important? Answer: The color is not important but the contractor must offer two colors for each shoe. 4) The 3E size request is also difficult because most manufacturers have moved to two widths: M and W. Will a "W" be acceptable if the boot has an oblique (i.e., extra wide) or other type of extra roomy toecap that fits like a 3E? Answer: The requirement states that shoes sizes must be available up to size 13 with a triple E width. If the manufacturer???s shoe widths are different from what is in the requirement, the contractor must explain the difference in widths in their submitted quotes. The contractor must assure that the proposed widths will fit up to a triple E in width.
