This action originally published in the CBD Internet is amended to clarify the following questions: QUESTION: In the original synopsis the DUE DATE is listed as 09/16/97 and the amendment now has the date of 09/15/97. The amendment as such was principally referring to the quantity and the type of contract and was not referring to a modification in the due date. RESPONSE: The DUE DATE is 09/16/97. QUESTION: Item D in the General Specifications of Armor Systems refers to FENDERWALLS and Item G Protection Levels, sub-item 1 Front Wheels -- are these to be assumed that these are one in the same? RESPONSE: Sub Item 1 is corrected to read FRONT WHEEL WELLS. FENDERWALLS is corrected to read FENDERWELLS in this solicitation. QUESTION: Your reference to the FAR clauses in particular FAR 52.212-3, do you supply a separate form for us to complete or is photocopying the clause from the FAR manual sufficient for these purposes? RESPONSE: The certifications required per FAR 52.212-3 are available from the Contracting Officer upon your request or you may photocopy from the FAR providing you have an up to date (through FAC 46) FAR. QUESTION: Are the entire Ford Expeditions to be armored? RESPONSE: No. The specific parts to be armored on the vehicles are specifically mentioned in the original synopsis. QUESTION: Could you please elaborate more on the armored partitions and what you are looking for? RESPONSE: The armored partitions are specifically defined in the original synopsis. We are looking for the requirement as defined in the original synopsis. QUESTION: Could you elaborate more on the interchangeable armor and its specs? RESPONSE: All the parts required are to be interchangeable, meaning removable to be used on other vehicles of the same make and model.
