Response to RFP Question

June 21, 2016

FA8131-16-R-0002

For the procurement of the spares in support of the

ISR Mission Equipment, (PWS 1.14) will the

Government authorize contractor to utilize GSA pricing to purchase spares as a cost savings measure?

The RFP contains FAR clause

52.251-1. This allows the authorization to use Government supply sources in the performance of this contract.

2 In Reviewing the prior parts usage reports released with the bidders library there are various components that are not compatible with Mission Equipment configuration relative to the released Mission

Equipment document released in the Bidders Library.

Please confirm that Bidders Library "Mission

Equipment" contains all Mission Management

Equipment incorporated through RC-26B Block 20, RC-26B Block 25 and RC-26B Block 25R. If not please provide detailed configuration management for each Block revision, and schedule for ongoing/future

Block conversions as this will have a material effect on pricing and will create an unfair advantage for the incumbent.

No, the "mission equipment" file in the tech library contains only a draft block 25R mission equipment parts listing.

Block 20 and Block 25 Mission

Equipment are listed in their applicable T.O.'s.

The -2 T.O. is for BLK 20 (5 aircraft), the -3 T.O. is for the

BLK 25 (6 aircraft), and -4 T.O.

(in work now) will be for Block

25R and replace the -3 T.O. for the

6 Block 25 aircraft.

Block 25R reconfiguration is currently in work with an ECD of early CY 2017 (-4 T.O. ECD Oct

16). As stated in previous industry

Q&A: To access T.O.'s offerors are required to submit the following to:

AFLCMC.LZPTP.PublicTOReque ts@us.af.mil;

1. Request access to specific T.O.'s via company letterhead with signature block and mailto:AFLCMC.LZPTP.PublicTORequets@us.af.mil mailto:AFLCMC.LZPTP.PublicTORequets@us.af.mil

2. Attach approved DD FORM

2345 (with request). Future block conversions will be negotiated separately when requirements are received from the operational user.
