| Number | RFP Document | Section # | Context/Issue | Question | Answer |
| 1 | P-Spec Rear Door | 3.13.21 | Requirement 3.13.22 is the only one that indicates a weight restriction ‘per door.’ However, 3.13.23 is not specific enough to understand if ‘the system’ is a single door or the entire rear door system (possibly two doors).• “3.13.21 The system shall not exceed 700 lbs excluding those major subsystems which do not articulate with the door.(T)” |
“3.13.22 The system shall not exceed 660 lbs per door excluding those major sub-systems which do not articulate with the door.(O)” “3.13.23 The system shall not exceed 800 lbs.”
| Requirement 3.13.21 does not specify if the 700 lbs is for a single door or for the entire rear door system. Is the 3.13.21 weight for a single door? | If the Offeror's design solution is a single door than the weight is for a single door. If the Offeror's design includes multiple doors, than it would include the weight of all doors in the system. | ||||
| 2 | P-Spec Rear Door | 3.13.21 & 3.13.23 | “3.13.21 The system shall not exceed 700 lbs excluding those major subsystems which do not articulate with the door.(T)” “3.13.23 The system shall not exceed 800 lbs.” | Requirement 3.13.23 does not specify if this weight is for both doors or for a single door. Does this door weight conflict with the required weight of 3.13.21? | If the Offeror's design solution is a single door than the weight is for a single door. If the Offeror's design includes multiple doors, than it would include the weight of all doors in the system. |

| 4 | Attachment 2 | Section B of the solicitation identifies: |
CLIN 0001: Design and Development CLIN 0005: First Article Production Egress Kits (option) CLIN 0009: Technical Data Package (TDP) (option)
CDRL B017, Technical Data Package (TDP) identifies option CLIN 0005.
| Does the Government intend for the TDP to be an optional requirement or was the intention to map CDRL B017 to CLIN 0001. | An updated CDRL B017 reflecting CLIN 0009 will be provided. All costs associated with the TDP and providing the TDP shall be included within the cost of CLIN 0009. This CLIN will remain an option CLIN. | ||||
