ense Finance and Accounting (DFAS) via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). See DFARS 252.223-7003 & 252.223-7006 for additional guidance on invoicing. 2. Question: Where are the VMI equipment costs placed? There is no separate CLIN for cabinets, software, installation, connectivity, maintenance, or onsite labor. Should those be allocated across the item unit prices? Answer: Per 1.1, Scope of the PWS, the items shall be placed in the vendor supplied cabinets/bins/shelving and designated Government owned racks.

Therefore, ALL COSTS of services and supplies shall be included on the corresponding price matrix items, quote must be complete and accurate. 3. Question: Minimum versus maximum quantities. The guaranteed minimum is based on the minimum-on-hand quantities, but the spreadsheet�s evaluated extended prices appear to use maximum quantities. Can you confirm the intended calculation and initial delivery order quantity? Answer: The extended price is what our maximum quantity is for storage, and for projected usage. 4. Question: Site access before bidding. The contractor is instructed to verify cellular reception for the electronic cabinets. Will that be offered so the proposed VMI operator can inspect the 20-by-50-foot room and test connectivity? Answer: A site visit can be approved for this solicitation, please reach out to travis.l.thomas38.civ@army.mil to coordinate a visit. - End of AMD 0001 Narrative - See Solicitation and PWS

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $FAST reported $7.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $2.2M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
