Delivery terms: Is pricing to be FOB Destination? Are
partial shipments acceptable, provided all quantities are delivered within 90 days after receipt of order?

FOB Destination.

CLIN 0001: If Federal T223L cannot be delivered within 90 days, the Statement of Need permits Speer Gold Dot 64gr. Will Gold Dot 64gr be considered technically acceptable without further documentation beyond the manufacturer's specification sheet?
Quote format: Is there a required form (e.g., SF 1449) or format for the quote?
Quote CLIN 2 only?

The CLIN names Federal Gold Medal 175 gr Sierra
MatchKing. Will you accept an equivalent .308 175 gr
BTHP match load made by another U.S. manufacturer? If
so, which specs will you judge it on (bullet weight and type, velocity, accuracy, packaging)?

For "Made in USA," does the loaded round need to be
manufactured in the U.S., or must each component (case, bullet, primer, powder) also be of U.S. origin?
