It is the responsibility of the offeror and the selected contractor to ensure that the Drawing utilized is current. **UPDATE** 04 March 2024 - Q&A The following questions were received by a potential vendor: Item #16, #17 on the drawings– the end caps to be welded on the pipe. There's no drawing or call out to what these are. Can we get a size and thickness? Also on the pipe - there is no A36 (mild steel) tubing. It comes in A500 or A530 structural (stronger). Will this work?

Answer: Items #16 and #17 are plastic cap plugs for square tubes. They come in various sizes including 1-inch and 2-inch for square tubes. Also, the caps top largest dimension should be the same size as the dimension of the tube. ASTM A36 is available but may not be desirable. You can bid on what is desirable and available to you, which includes A500 or A513. We recommend 10 GA ASTM A500 Gr B for both the 2x2 and 1x1 square tubes. 10 GA is the same as 0.1345 inches. Stronger structural steel is not required for this application. The application is the seat stand statically holds two T38C 130lb jet aircraft ejection seats, totaling 260lbs.

11 March 2024 - Q&A Question: Are there any packaging requirements listed under this solicitation?

Answer: For Solicitation FA822424Q0003, the seat stand assemblies should be individually palletized for forklifts.
