Question and Answer

09 December 2013

Question: “Within the Purchasing Description (PD08WRGBGBEB16B) it requires various testing (sections

3.4 through 3.6) and within the Statement of Work, it states that testing shall be performed at Seymour Johnson AFB.

Our questions are:

1. Can all the tests be performed at Seymour Johnson AFB or will we need to test in multiple locations?

2. Is this testing funded by the Government or is it at our cost?

3. If it is at our cost, could you provide budgetary estimates?”

Answer: 1. The only testing that "shall" be performed at Seymour Johnson is the Compatibility Testing.

This testing is separate from any testing required for PD paragraphs 3.4 through 3.6. The Compatibility Testing is conducted by the Government. For the testing associated with PD paragraphs 3.4 through 3.6, the contractor is responsible for setting up testing locations and ensuring the tests are conducted.

2. The costs associated with contractor testing should be included in the price that is in your proposal.

3. We will not provide any budgetary estimates.

Question: “DI‐ALSS‐81529/T required inE001 and DI‐ALSS‐81530/T required in E003 are not in the package. These are the documents we need. Can you please provide these to us.”

Answer: “The Data Item Descriptions entered in block 4 can be found in the Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System data base available at http://assist.daps.dla.mil. The application of any DID tailoring is accomplished to relax format requirements or conform the data requirement to those requirements contained within the statement of work. In our case we tailored the basic LMI DIDs so that only certain items are provided, which is shown in Block 16 and any of the associated attachments to the CDRLs. Everything is included in the CDRL packages that is needed. If you are missing anything in particular, let us know.”
