Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Brand name only: Olsun Electrics. Only the Olsun Electrics transformer is accepted, so a business that cannot buy and quote that brand cannot win.
- Worth checking: Delivery 8 days after receipt of order. The RFQ lists DARO 8 for a custom-spec transformer; if you cannot meet it, you must state an extended lead time and the reason on the form.
- Worth checking: Incomplete forms mean no award consideration. A blank field or missing document on pages 1 and 2, or a missing signed MIL-STD-129R form, ends consideration of the quote.

- Worth checking: All-or-none award. You must price the transformer, testing and shipping together; the award is not split.
- Worth checking: Transformer size differs: 225 kVA versus 300 kVA. The brand name justification's description of the action says 225kVA, while its specifications, the notice and the RFQ say 300kVA; confirm the size with the contracting specialist.
- Minor: Brand name spelled several ways. The title says Olson, the notice says Olsun, and the justification also says Olsen; the RFQ form uses Olsun Electrics.
- Minor: Buy American Act applies. The product must meet Buy American requirements even though no set-aside applies and the nonmanufacturer rule does not.
