Amendment 01 to RFP 310118-KD

Quest.

Offeror Questions: FRA Responses:

1.

The 0.25mm profile on the RF surfaces of the half cells in the iris region is very difficult to meet with the forming and coining processes. Would it be permissible to machine the inner surface of the iris to correct the formed and coined profile provided the iris EB weld thickness is maintained?

If offerors see challenges to producing the parts per the drawings that FRA provided, offerors should list those in their proposal with their potential mitigations.

Could you confirm that the ellipse profile of the End Cell (drawing F10121890) is (13.8 x 24.5) mm while the ellipse profile of the Pen and Inner cells (drawings F10121867 and F10121866) is (14 x 24.5) mm?

The ellipse minor axis dimension on F10121867 and F10121866 should be 13.8 mm. This is a mistake in the drawings and will be corrected by the time a vendor is selected and PO issued. This correction does NOT imply any acceptance of vendor manufacturing drawings by FRA or relaxation of the requirements for the Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR) defined in the specifications provided with this RFP.
