The Government received the following questions from the subject line effort’s Industry Day activities. These questions have been sanitized to remove any identifiable vendor information.

See Government responses below:

1. Will the Government provide additional consumption data?

a. Yes. Additional consumption data will be included in the Bidder's Library.

2. Will the Government elaborate on its expectations for a COTS product?

Industry Standard Supply Chain Management. Specific capabilities are outlined in Draft PWS para 1.3.3.

3. How will special tools and equipment be replaced? How is it paid for?

a. Refer to Draft PWS para 1.2. The CLIN structure that will be included in the

DRFP will better demonstrate how support equipment will be paid for.

4. Are all consumable and bench stock items required to have a Certificate of

Conformity?

a. Yes. All parts on Commercial Derivative Aircraft require Certificate of

Conformity.

Current part obsolescence metrics?

a. Additional data/reports will be included in the Bidder’s Library.

16. Does the USN provide hardware without Certificates of Conformance reflecting/showing compliance to OEM standards?

a. Any parts provided by the Contractor should have a Certificate of Conformance.
