Q2. Section H.25 of the RFP lists access to NSMV hydrodynamic testing model as available government furnished equipment. Please provide guidance on how to request access to this testing model.

A2. The following instructions were posted at

FBO.gov with the RFP:

"Access to the NSMV model for hydrodynamic testing is available upon request and subject to the availability of the model and facility. To request access, please send an e-mail to

NSMV@dot.gov requesting such. Include in your request the company name, POC and purpose. You will be required to sign a restricted use agreement. It will be considered as part of the

"guidance design" so that if you have signed a restricted use agreement for access to the guidance design that will suffice. Once you have requested access, you will be provided further directions to get access. It will require your own coordination/scheduling, at your own expense and subject to the availability of the model and facility."

Q3. Section L.7 Volume I-Executive Summary requests a Master Cross Reference Matrix (MCRM).

Please provide a template that will be acceptable to the government.

A3. There is no template. The offeror shall develop a Master Cross Reference Matrix (MCRM), specific to its own proposal, that adheres to the requirements of L.7.

Additionally, there is an extensive amount of drawings and material to review to determine the level of effort that will be
