Submitted paperwork for a new title for an M989A1 HEMAT trailer, it only came with a Bill of Sale from GovPlanet. Data plate on the rear of this trailer had the NSN, serial number, and Contract Number as well as an Inspection Date (2009). Scoured SAM.gov for contract info, but couldn’t find...

I use a small dental pick to get between the male/female parts to help get them apart. Sometimes shots of silicone spray helps as well

How do we upload pics for a Conversation with another member? All the pic icon will allow for is to post the URL of a pic already on the interwebs…if we have a photo only on our local tablet (iPad Pro) or computer, how can we do this please? All my Conversations editor will allow me to do is...
