Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: A sample must arrive by the response due date. A sample garment that is late, or fails the pass/fail check, means the quote is not accepted. You must make a finished overblouse before you can bid.
- Serious: Domestic sources only. Only United States and Canadian sources can be awarded this buy, and you must state the country and city of origin of the materials and the finished goods.
- Worth checking: Two delivery dates for the same item. The notice and Section B give May 1, 2027 for the base year (est.), but Section F says delivery on or before November 30, 2027. The option years differ the same way (May 1 versus November 30). Ask the contracting officer which date governs.

- Worth checking: Two sample addresses. The sample is to go to Room 101 at 681 Rogers Place. A later paragraph, written for different garments (India White coats, trousers and skirts), gives Room 100. Confirm the right room, since a sample that does not arrive is not accepted.
- Worth checking: Unclear whether first article testing applies. The statement of work says a first article is needed only if the schedule specifies it, and the schedule lists none. Yet clause 52.209-3, First Article Approval, is included with blank and TBD entries, and the specification cites a different clause (52.209-4).
- Minor: Contractor pays delivery. Transportation to the West Point warehouse is at the contractor's cost, so include shipping in your price.
- Minor: Options are not guaranteed; minimums and maximums are TBD. The four option years may or may not be used, and the minimum and maximum order quantities and values are shown as $TBD.
