Amendment 0002 is hereby issued to:

1. Provide answers to the following questions:

VENDOR QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. Call out of Drawing 1213618. This drawing is the Slip Ring Control Drawing. There are no drawings of the Brush Block Assemblies, only EMC Part Numbers. There were no EMC Drawings available for this effort. All dimensions were derived (Reverse Engineered) from actual EMC parts. We need to know how NOAA can QC test inspect the parts to any drawing and/or specification if there isn’t one.

Answers for #1 & #2:

It is expected that the vendor will include a specification for each brush block part number they are providing in their proposal. The first articles will need to be sent to the National Reconditioning Center (NRC) first for overall visual inspection by part number in order to verify no damage in shipment. The first articles will then be sent to the NWS Radar Operation Center (ROC) Engineering Branch for inspection and acceptance. Once accepted by the ROC, NRC will follow the same procedures and accept the brush blocks by part number and visual inspection and inform the COR that the production units may go forward. ROC Drawings will be updated to include these new part numbers.

2. NOAA is using both Norman, OK and Grandview, MO as shipping locations. Is Norman, OK only used for the First Article units?

See Answer above

3. Pg 9 – Past Performance. We have not supplied these types of Brush Blocks previously, so as a result, we do not have any History or Past Performance with these types of EMC Style Brush Blocks.

What we do have as history is a requirement that came out of our TSS PO for the refurbishment of the NOAA Slip Rings (P/N 1213618-201) which we have had various PO’s for the last 3 years. We have supplied refurbishment of over 100 Slip Rings to date. These Slip Rings did not use the EMC Type Brush Blocks but rather, the Princetel Type Brush Blocks.

We will be switching over to the EMC Type Brush Blocks in the refurbishments we contract out for in the near future. We

The NWS acknowledges that the Vendor will be providing an EMC version of the brush blocks for the remainder of the Pedestal SLEP Program.

However, this procurement will still require a first article acceptance.

have also supplied the USAF Factory New Slip Rings for the AN/TPS-75(CRC Program) under Caliber P/N CSR-03260.

Would this satisfy this requirement?

4. Please clarify what this means - Parts only warranty for one (1) year from date of startup or eighteen (18) months from ship date.

After install - 1 year warranty begins. Uninstalled warehoused material - 18 months from ship date

5. FA Units – Approval/Rejection notification is 14 days – Will this be sooner than 14 days?

14 days will be enough time. The NRC and ROC will have to move quickly.

6. Modification 0001. Is it required we send a signed copy of acknowledgement with our offer?

Yes, sign or acknowledge receipt of Amendment/Modification 0001

2. Except for the changes made herein all other terms, conditions and provisions of the solicitation remain unchanged.
