- Description
- This amendment is to change the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code from 484220 to 238990 All Other Specialty Trade Contractors. This code pertains to mostly blocking and strapping but in the case of this contract the contractor will be unblocking, un-strapping and unhooking as stated in the line item details. Hauling the trailer to a different location will be a minor part of the contract. Answers to Questions Asked 1. The solicitation does not specify what type of units to be deactivated. Are the units going to be travel trailers, mobile homes or both? It will be a mixture of both. 2. On previous FEMA contracts requiring deactivation of units, the clean and make ready of the interior of the unit was mandatory when the unit was delivered to the designated staging or storage area.
