Do you require safety shoes, warning vests, work wear and caution signs only at the Logistic Center in Germersheim and at Bldg 4136 Pirmasens? If applicable, please provide a building where else the contractor is required to use listed items. Answer: At the moment the requirement to wear warning west is for Bldg 7983, DLA Germersheim and for the buildings 4136 and 4171 Pirmasens.
