Things to watch (5)

Serious: Quantities have no unit of issue. The master list gives yearly quantities (BEQ 12 and BEQ 100 per fiscal year) with no unit of issue, and a quote is priced per unit; the column is not defined in the file read.
Worth checking: Government has no technical data. The repairer must work without Government-owned drawings or data rights for these items, and no physical samples are available.
Worth checking: Contractor supplies all material, tools and test equipment. The firm must buy, maintain and calibrate everything needed to repair these units, which raises start-up cost.

Worth checking: The main RFI document could not be read. RFI_NGSC_EGI.pdf is attached on SAM.gov but protected, so what to send and how is unknown here; open the file on SAM.gov.
Minor: Responding does not guarantee a place in the later solicitation. Answering a sources sought notice is not a bid, and the Government pays nothing for responses.
