Please see below answered questions from our customer to help inform your quote: Question: Which floor and room in Daly Hall will the boards be mounted in, and what's the access path for the largest boards (50? × 120?) — ground floor, stairs, or elevator? Answer: 1 will go on the 1st Deck foyer, one mounted on the outside of the Command Deck, and 2 within the Command deck (Sergeant’s Major Board, and the MSE Board). There is an elevator. Question: What is the wall construction at the mounting locations (drywall over stud, masonry/CMU, or plaster)? Answer: They will be mounted on drywall and metal studs. Question: Do you require solid mahogany, or is a mahogany veneer over an engineered core acceptable for the larger panels? Answer: With the cost of the product and the unknown quality of engineer core, I think we would prefer the solid mahogany. Question: Between embossed and engraved, do you have a preference, or is that left to the vendor? Answer: This can be left to the vendor. Question: Will you provide the logo/seal artwork (1 large + 17 subordinate, plus TECOM/Training Command seals) as high-resolution files, or should we recreate them? Answer: This will need to be created. Unless we absolutely have to supply them. Question: Are the bronze name placards and the Mameluke swords government-furnished, or is the vendor responsible for supplying them? (I understand the sword brackets are in our scope.) Answer: The only bronze placard will be provided by the command. And the Mameluke sword will also be government funded. Question: For the photo positions (8?×11? and 5?×7?), do you prefer hinged frame hangers or slide-in plexiglass holders, and are the photos government-supplied? Answer: Recommend using a slide-in plexiglass holders and the photos will need to be supplied by the government. The action resulting from this opportunity will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order: All quotes must be submitted electronically to Sgt Jacob Espinosa at jacob.m.espinosa.mil@usmc.mil Quoters must meet the below expectations: -Quoters must review page 20 (instructions to offerors) and pages 22 & 23 (evaluation factors and process) before giving their best price to CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0002 found on page 3. -Provide a signed copy of Solicitation M0026426Q0132 and Amendment 0001 -Review and respond to answerable clauses and provisions found within the solicitation -The custom signs must be delivered On/Before September 30, 2026 Refer to the attached PowerPoint and the description within the solicitation (page 4 & 5) for a direct example of what the customer is expecting the Signs to look like: Five (5) mahogany boards that will display the Training Command CO/SgtMaj history, current chain of command, and subordinate command hierarchy. See attached slides for images and below for further explanation: Slide 1: Within the large white square there is (1) large logo and (17) smaller logos to represent our subordinate commands, the large and the smaller logos would need to be done individually with high resolution. The (2) 8” x 11” photos to the left and right of the large white square would need to be either a hanger for the picture frames or something we can slide a photo of the size listed possibly plexiglass. The same for the (34) 5”x7” photos below. Slides 2 and 3: The Sergeant Major of Training Command/Commanders of Training Command could either be embossed or engraved into the wood, which ever looks better. Brackets to hang a Mameluke Sword, and (2) 8” diameter Training Command logos either carved or embossed, and approximately 12”x56” space to place bronze placards. Slide 4: Training Command at the top will either be embossed or engraved, (2) 2’ x 2’ logos (Training Command and TECOM), and all photos will need to be either a bracket to hang picture frames or built-in plexiglass picture holder.
