## Description

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions regarding solicitation 36C26226Q0440.

**Q1:** Item FB5CXX-C50 is invalid, as we couldn't find any item. Please help us with the item link or the exact part number so we can help you with the quote as soon as possible.

**A1:** See Q3/A3 below Q2: Since the requirement is for 550 racks, realistically most suppliers don t keep that level of inventory on hand. If another supplier doesn t have the full quantity available immediately, would partial delivery (for example 50 units now with the remaining racks delivered once production is complete) be acceptable? A2. If there is a shortage with a supplier it is the responsibility of the awardee to fulfill the requirement timely and communicate any delays/backorders to the CO as soon as possible.

**Q3:** The above-mentioned solicitation calls out for part # FB5CXX-C50 cardboard boxes. The XX in the part # is for the divider type for that box. They are available in 16 cell, 36 cell or 64 cell dividers. Can you please confirm which divider you need for these?

**A3:** The station is requesting flexibility to order the dividers as needed. All offeror quotes for this solicitation must be received electronically through email no later than Monday, March 16, 2026, 14:00 Local PT Time. Be sure to reference solicitation number 36C26226Q0440 within subject line of the email. Any offeror quotes received after the prescribed date/time shall be considered non-responsive and will not be considered for award. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
