CY26 LCS Blocking and Bracing Lumber (Korean Vendor Only)

Amendment / Modification

This amendment modifies the solicitation by changing the unit of measurement for CLINs 0001 through 0067 from "inches" to "feet".

• CLINs 0001-0067 (unit of measurement changed from inches to feet).

This amendment does not appear to alter proposal deadlines or submission requirements, but bidders should ensure their proposals accurately reflect the updated unit of measurement for the specified CLINs.

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the solicitation for wood packing material (WPM).

• Moisture Content: The Salient Characteristics specify "Kiln Dried (KD)" lumber. While not explicitly stated as a percentage, DoDM 41040.65 requires a moisture content of less than 20 percent for WPM to be certified as DoD Pest-Free.
• Wood Species: Radiata Pine (from New Zealand or Chile) is acceptable if it meets ISPM 15 and DoDM 4140.65 mandatory requirements for use as WPM returning to CONUS.
• Sequential Delivery (Milk Run): Allowed if respective location POCs are contacted and the delivery schedule is locally approved. Coordination with ROKAF-managed locations may require lead time for an EAL and installation access.
• Vehicle Size Restrictions: 25-ton heavy-duty trucks have been used for lumber and munitions in the past without restrictions at Kunsan AB and Osan AB. Some locations may have navigation challenges due to gate configuration, but access has not been prevented. Local POCs can provide specific details.
• Responsibility for Unloading: Coordination with the destination POC for unloading support is generally standard. Vendors should not charge for end-destination handling if the contracted vendor cannot provide this service.
• Documentation for Compliance: KD/HT certificates are not required for proposal review but must be explicitly stated in the proposal. Certification documents must be provided for all lumber and processed materials upon delivery, with necessary stamps applied to each article.

This Q&A clarifies requirements related to moisture content, acceptable wood species, delivery logistics, vehicle access, and documentation. Bidders should ensure their proposals address these points and that their proposed materials and processes comply with the clarified requirements.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet
