The encasements I am looking at would fit Twin XL 9". Do they need to fit other depths or just the 9"? The specification calls for availabilty to fit a 7 to 12" mattress.. My question is, does our company have to have at least 500 employees or does that mean up to 500 employees? This means if you have 500 employees or less you are a small business when you are considering bidding on this NAICS code classification Is it a requirement for the encasements to be manufactured in the U.S. or a Trade Agreement Act countries acceptable?A trade agreement country is acceptable. Does buyer just want the "Mattress" protector or also the "Box Spring" protector? The reason we ask is because the dimensions specified by buyer of 38"x80"x9" is for the combination set for BOTH the mattress AND box spring set. The Protect a Bed "BUG PROTECTION" Cover for the "TWIN XL" MATTRESS ONLY has dimensions of 38"x80"x8.5". Thank you Interested SDVOSB seller: Mattress only please product provided needs to meet Trade Agreement/Buy American Act compliant Remove brand name requested as the item is not Trade Compliant. Specifications as follows: The description is Twin XL fits 7"-12" deep mattresses. They are Aller Zip. They are 38" x 80". 3 sided zipper system to ensure to lock out bed bugs, allergens and dust mites. They are also waterproof Item must be Trade Compliant with the Buy American Act.
