About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from an Industry Day related to the AFATS 02-02 and Calibration Cart Upgrade requirement. The document addresses four contractor inquiries regarding Statement of Work (SOW) clarifications on pages 6 and 19.
Regarding equipment documentation and components, the government confirmed that SOW appendices will include calibration cart manuals with a full Illustrated Parts Breakdown to assist contractors in identifying available materials and suitable replacement parts. For the VAX 4000 Model 200 system, SOW 4.2.2 mandates full replacement rather than modification, with Appendix E providing details on existing part numbers for removal. On fabrication requirements, the government stated that no dimension drawings are available for rusted drain and base pans; contractors must measure existing pans and fabricate replacements, with stainless steel explicitly approved as an acceptable material. Regarding hose evaluation, the government announced a SOW adjustment to require replacement of all hoses in the test stand rather than conditional replacement based on contractor evaluation, eliminating potential ambiguity about contract adds and ensuring optimal product quality for the government.

Questions and Answers from Industry Day
SOW Reference Page Number Contractor Question Government Response
Page 6 6
Prior to Paragraph 2, it states that we need to bring the existing calibration cart back in usable form. After contract award will we be able to get a Bill of Materials so we can see what remains available and so we can find suitable replacements for items no longer available?
The appendices for the full SOW will include the manuals for the calibration cart, one of these manuals being the full Illustrated Parts Breakdown.
Page 6 6 There are references to VAX 4000 Model 200 and modules and interfacing information. Is it the intent to have us replace these items or to just modify them?
SOW 4.2.2 states that the full VAX system must be replaced. Appendix E will give some more details on existing part numbers to be removed.
Para 4.1.9 19 States “Rusted drain and base pans must be replaced. Are drawings available so we can fabricate replacements? Would stainless steel be acceptable for replacement of these?
We do not have dimension drawings available for the drain pans, the contractor would be expected to measure the existing pans and fabricate suitable replacements. Stainless steel is acceptable.
Para 4.1.10 19 States we must evaluate hoses and present findings to the government POC. If the government POC decides we must replace some or all of these hoses, would this be a contract add?
We will be adjusting the SOW to require replacement for all hoses in the test stand to prevent confusion and ensure the Government gets the best possible product.
