Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 23, 2026.
- Worth checking: Delivery date: form shows one, quote asks for yours. The SF 1449 lists a delivery date of January 29, 2027, while the notice tells quoters to give their own proposed delivery date, which is scored. Ask the contracting officer whether January 29, 2027 is a required date.
- Worth checking: Nonmanufacturer rule applies if you resell. A dealer that does not make the units must meet the nonmanufacturer rule. The documents do not say how the Government will check it.
- Worth checking: Technical literature must prove SOW compliance. Technical acceptability is judged only from the manufacturer data sheets you send. Missing or incomplete literature can make a quote unacceptable.

- Minor: Receiving hours at the prison. Deliveries are accepted only on weekdays between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM, so the carrier must schedule within that window.
- Minor: Supply only, no installation. The price should cover the equipment and delivery only; installation is not part of this buy.
