| General Issue |
| N/A |
| In October 2012 the Marines awarded an $18.4M contract (M67854-13-D-5008) to Schutt Industries for the procurement of 289 MCTWS systems. The contract had five one-year ordering periods. While there are noted differences between the previous MCTWS Purchase Description and current MCTWS Performance Specification, (1) what is the status of the previous M67854-13-D-5008 effort; and (2) will the new M67854-14-R-5040 effort replace the previously acquired MCTWS systems in order to have a single system inventory? |
| The system procured under this contract will be the sole MCTWS configuration in the USMC inventory. |
| Are photos, drawings, and/or manuals available of the current system? |
| Yes, they are available by request through the contract specialist. They will be delivered via ARMDEC. |
| Has a prototype/production unit been manufactured? |
| No |
| If a prototype/production unit has been manufactured, is it available for review? |
| No |
| If a prototype/production unit has been manufactured, who designed and built it? |
| No |
| In October 2012, Schutt Industries was awarded a multi-year contract for the MCTWS. The performance specifications for the contract awarded to Schutt Industries and the current solicitation appear to be the same. Is Schutt Industries still under contract for the MCTWS? |
| No |
| CLINs 0011 through 0017 refer to the Training Materials, yet there are no CDRLs for these items. We need the CDRLs to give us the technical requirements. |
| The technical requirements for CLINs 0011-0016 can be found in the SOW paragraphs 6.1.1.2-6.1.1.7. CLIN 0017 can be found in SOW 3.9 and CDRL A004. |
| CLINs 0026 through 0031 refer to the Technical Manuals, yet there are no CDRLs for these items. We need the CDRLs and TMCR for the technical requirements. |
| The technical requirements for CLINs 0026-0030 can be found in the SOW paragraphs 5.5-5.10. CLIN 0031 does not exist. |
| There is no CLIN assigned to the PCA in Section B, but it is in Attachment F as CLIN 0024. Please advise. |
| The PCA CLIN was inadvertently left out of Section B in the model contract. It has been added in Amendment 0001 and the CLINs have been renumbered in Section B to match the numbering in Attachment F. |
| 56 |
| SOW and CDRL |
| 4.5.4.8.1 and CDRL C006 |
| CDRL C006 and CDRL C007 appear to be the same requirement. Can you please clarify? |
| The SOW and CDRLs have been revised to remove the paragraphs regarding Supplemental Data for Provisioning (SDFP) and its corresponding CDRL C006. The SOW and CDRLs have been renumbered accordingly. Paragraph 4.5.4.8 and CDRL C006 now refer to Engineering Data for Provisioning (EDFP). |
| 57 |
| SOW |
| 4.3.3 |
| Are all of the listed tools in this Table specifically described in Table III of the Performance Specification? |
| No. The table in section 4.3.3 of the SOW lists tools already fielded in the Marine Corps that will be used to conduct field level maintenance of the MCTWS. These tools are not required to be provided by the contractor. Table III of the Performance Specification lists items that are required to be provided with the MCTWS. |
| 58 |
| P. Spec. |
| 3.3.12 |
| Can you please elaborate on the GFE BOB Tool Kit? Specifically the weight/dimensions and will it already be in its Rapid Inventory, Visual Cue and Proximate Storage Configuration? |
| Length: 18.0 in |
Width: 6.0 in (case closed) Height: 16.0 in Weight: 27.00 lbs The BOB Tool Kit may or may not be in a Rapid Inventory, Visual Cue and Proximate Storage Configuration. The BOB is already fielded and vendors are not required to reconfigure the BOB Tool Kit. The BOB shall be kept in the supplied configuration.
| What format will the TM be written to (i.e. Word, XML, SGML, S1000D, etc.)? If XML, SGML, what software is expected (i.e. Frame Maker, Arbortext, etc.)? |
| The format requirements can be found in MIL-STD-40051-2A - Preparation of Digital Technical Information for Page – Based Technical Manuals and MIL-STD-40051-5A - Parts Information (PI) and Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL). |
| What format will the vector line drawing be developed in (.ai, .cgm, etc.)? |
| See Response 59. |
| For planning purposes only - Lists the quantities of MCTWS for each ordering period. Comparing this to the Attachment D - Delivery Locations and Quantities, how do you estimate shipping price when you don't know if you will be delivering 10 MCTWS to one location or 10 MCTWS to 10 different locations per delivery order? Is there a priority according to the order the delivery locations are listed in the Attachment D? |
| The delivery locations in Attachment D are in the estimated order of delivery. |
