SkyFest 26' Metal Detectors

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses vendor questions and clarifies requirements for the solicitation FA462026QA227.

Key clarifications include:

• Equipment Condition: Walk-through metal detectors (magnetometers) and handheld wands do not need to be brand new, provided they are fully operational and meet the Statement of Work (SOW) requirements. This includes setup, calibration/verification, and on-site technician support.

• Requirement Status: This is a new requirement with no current incumbent. A similar requirement was solicited in 2024 (FA462024QA220) and awarded for the SkyFest 24' Airshow.

• Clarification on equipment condition (new vs. operational/refurbished).

• Confirmation of the requirement's status (new, no incumbent).

• Offerors are instructed to fill out blocks 15a, 15b, and 15c and include them with their proposal. The amendment does not appear to change the proposal deadline or evaluation factors, but bidders should ensure their proposals reflect the clarified equipment requirements.
