The U.S. Secret Service has a requirement for a quantity of Thermal Imager hand-held Palm IR 250, Raytheon equipment, 9 each, per the notice published in the EPS and the CBD for hand-held thermal imagers under solicitation 00Q038. The following clarification is provided: Question: My understanding is that the part number 3193775-1 comes with all the items listed in your solicitation 00Q038 except for the item 0002, twist lock mount plate with connector, part number 3193957-2, item 0004, deluxe carrying case part number 3193777-8, and you are also asking for an extra battery per set per item 0005. Is this understanding corect? Answer: The part number for item 0001, 3193775-1, was provided for the purpose of identifying the basic hand-held Palm IR unit required. If your understanding is that the part number 3193775-1 already comes with a certain set of items as identified in solicitation 00Q0038, then those items under a set of one per unit each are to be supplied as per items 0003, 0005, 0006, 0007, and 0008. The total quantity of batteries under item 0005 is correct for this requirement; if this requires one extra battery from a standard set, the extra battery quantity is correct. If the use of a deluxe carrying case 3193777-8 is a subsittution for a standard case supplied with part number 3193775-1, this is also correct and the substituted case shall be provided.
