Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding the solicitation for snow machines.

• Hitch Requirement: Vendors should quote with a Heavy-duty hitch receiver. While the RFQ states "Bumper: Heavy duty hitch receiver" and "Towing 1100lbs minimum," the hitch receiver is needed to accommodate towing heavier weights and increase machine lifespan.
• Incumbent Contractor: This is a one-time supply buy; there is no current incumbent contractor.
• Previous Awards: Information on previous awards, including amounts and vendors, can be found by searching SAM.gov.
• Ship-To Address: The delivery address is 773D LRS LGRA, 15380 AIRLIFTER DRIVE, JBER, AK 99506-3900.
