Questions & Answers

1. QUESTION: How is this notice related to the Sources Sought Notice issued on July 18, 2016 for Munitions Handling Unit 196/204 (MHU-196) and (MHU-204) engineering services, testing, depot repair, and prototype support issued under FA8519-MHU196and204 and Munitions Handling Trailer to replace the MHU-196 and MHU-204 issued under RM17-Universal-Munitions-Handling-Trailer (MHU-196_204) last Jan 26, 2017?

a. ANSWER: The July 18, 2016 posting is for sustainment of the 196/204 and the Jan 26, 2017 is for new design.

2. QUESTION: It appears that this pre-solicitation for the MHU-196/204 is related to a previous Sources Sought for the MHU-196/204 [Sol. #: RM17-Universal-Munitions-Handling-Trailer (MHU-196_204)]. The Sources Sought provided “locked” specifications files. I have questions on this pre-solicitation based on the content in the “locked” specification files which we had credentials to access. Is there any reason why we should not send you an email citing or asking questions related to the contents of Specification No. R60244-00018, Part I of II or Specification No. R60544-40001?

a. ANSWER: The July 18, 2016 posting is for sustainment of the 196/204 and the Jan 26, 2017 is for new design. Part 1 and 2 of the specification relates to basic performance parameters. As task come about drawings will be supplied that will have adequate information to address issues.

3. QUESTION: We are a small business engineering firm with direct past performance on specialty military transport trailers, some specifically with nuclear ordnance. We noticed this opportunity when posted as pre-solicitation. As we are a small business, do you want us to fill out and submit the questionnaire from the previous sources sought for your records?

a. ANSWER: No, just provide a complete proposal
