Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Brand-name only, no substitutions. Only an Olsun Electrics transformer qualifies, so you need to be a dealer or source for that brand to quote.
- Serious: Quote is invalid without both forms. Leaving a blank on pages 1 and 2 or omitting the signed MIL-STD-129R form removes the quote from consideration.
- Worth checking: All-or-none award and OMS or EDI registration. You must price the transformer, testing and shipping, and be able to receive orders in the OMS Vendor Portal or by EDI before award.
Show all 5Show fewer
- Worth checking: Delivery time of 8 DARO. The RFQ asks for delivery in 8 DARO and asks for a reason if you cannot meet it; confirm the lead time for this custom dry-type unit before quoting.
- Minor: Testing after shipping. Certified testing is priced as a separate line after shipping, so confirm who performs it and where.
