   "body": "Mr./Ms. Buyer,\n\nBefore we submit our quote on solicitation SPE8E5-27-Q-0023 (NSN , QUANTITY ITEMS TOTAL, quantity None , quotes due 11/05/2026) we would like to confirm a few points that the solicitation does not state. We are not asking for a waiver - we intend to quote in full compliance.\n\nQUESTIONS\n  1. The solicitation does not state a manufacturer part number. What part number, if any, must appear in the MIL-STD-129 part-number field on unit and exterior packs?\n     (Markings must not carry an invented part number; the award may specify one.)\n  2. First-article approval/testing is not called out in this RFQ. Confirm whether the resulting award adds a first-article requirement, and if so what sample size and test set apply.\n     (A first-article requirement changes both lead time and price.)\n\nFOR REFERENCE\n  Item description as printed in Section B:\n    SUPPLIES/SERVICES: 7690-01-417-9227\n    ITEM DESCRIPTION:\n    LABEL\n    1 RO = 500 EA\n    AMERICAN LABELMARK COMPANY 67634 P/N C6\n    ITEM NO.
