Amendment 0001 is hereby issued to provide the Government's response to questions received from a prospective contractor(s).

QUESTIONs AND ANSWERs

The following questions were raised and answers are hereby provided:

Question No. 1:

The solicitation requires prescription (corrective) lenses that also meet JIS T8147. In Japan, JIS T8147 applies to plano (non-prescription) lenses, so prescription safety glasses generally cannot carry formal JIS T8147 certification. Manufacturers instead perform in-house impact testing per the JIS T8147 method (confirming no shattering or cracking). Would in-house impact testing conducted per the JIS T8147 method satisfy this requirement?

Answer: Yes.

Question No. 2:

What documentation should we submit as proof of compliance (is an in-house impact test report acceptable)?

Answer: An in-house impact test report from the manufacturer is acceptable as proof of compliance. Please provide the product's website or homepage link, or catalogs of the product being offered to facilitate verification.
