Questions Solicitation Number:70T04023R7672N013 Medium Size Explosive Detection Systems (MSEDS)
| Question No. | Reference | ||||
| (Section #, page # and specific location) | Question Category | ||||
| (Contract or Technical) | Question | Government Response | |||
| 1 | A.6 Option for Modified Quantites, page 20, top of page | Contract | In order to secure supplier commitments and mitigate any end of life part issues over the lifecycle of the program, can TSA provide minimum guaranteed order quantities for the equipment noted? | No, TSA cannot guarantee minimum orders, however, Technical Direction Letter's will be issued at least 6 months prior to delivery of the MSEDS. | |
| 2 | 3.16.3 Payment Milestones. Page 46, second half of page | Contract | Are the payment terms open to negotiation upon award? | Please see Section I. 5.0, Assumptions, Exceptions, or Dependencies. No, TSA does not anticipate negotiating payment terms prior to or after award. | |
| 3 | 3.14 Seismic Anchors (CLIN 0021), page 43, middle of page | Technical | The language on pg. 43 makes it seem as if (1) seismic anchor is required for every (1) EDS. However, the SOW only dictates 11 seismic anchors and 33 EDS. Can TSA clarify which locations require seismic anchors? | The quantity of 11 is correct. Seismic Anchors are only needed for EDS deployed at three airport locations (AZA, COS, and PSP). This language has been revised in Section 3.14 via Amendment 0001. | |
| 4 | A.8 Location of Work vs A.9 Project Milestones, page 20 | Contract | A.8 lists eight (8) locations with up to thirty-three (33) MSEDS. However, A.9 Project Milestones lists an additional location of OMA. Please clarify which information is correct. | OMA has been removed from the table in section A.9 Project Milestones via Amendment 0001. | |
| 5 | Submission Requirements II - item a., page 158, paragraph just before the evaluation factor table | ||||
| Submission Requirements 1 - item h. Multiple Awards, page 153 | Contract | Industry seeks clarification as to whether this will be a single award or a multiple award as "Submission requirements II item a" indicates a single award, but "Submission Requirements I item h" notes multple awards. | This will be a single award stand-alone contract. Subimission Requirements 1 paragraph (h) are removed via Amendment 0001. | ||
| 6 | Submission Requirements 1 - item h. Multiple Awards, page 153, bottom half of page | Contract | If the government awards to multiple vendors, will the assigned OEM for each airport be notified prior to the design phase start? | See response above. The reference to multiple vendors has been removed via Amendment 0001. | |
| 7 | 3.3.8 Training | Contract | It notes that that training will be no more than five business days. For the requested Operator training this is fine, as our current Operator course is one day. However, our current Technical course is 10 days. Therefore, the ambiguity of the statement pertaining to just “training classes” instead of specifying Operator training, is concerning. Can this be clarified? | Section 3.3.8 is only for Operator training. SOW Section 3.3.8 has been revised via Amendment 0001. | |
| 8 | This section also references witnesses for the initial training. I would like to know how many observers we can expect, to ensure that classroom/lab environment remains conducive to learning? | The total in each class will not exceed 10 people (inclusive of operators and observers). | |||
| 9 | 3.12.12 TSE Sustainment Maintenance | Contract | References providing technical documentation and training to 3rd party providers. We would like to make clear - we would be willing to provide technical training and its associated materials to the third party provider, to service TSA equipment only. The certification would not extend to servicing equipment for other parties, nor could the certification or associated materials be used to train TSA or anyone else. | TSA concurs, per Section 3.12.12, this applies to TSA owned MSEDS systems only. |
