MSS Solicitation Industry Q&As
Industry QuestionGov't ResponseAmendment #
1I thought that this had been pulled in June but just noticed it reappeared today but it is very confusing as it does not state what you are exactly looking for. Could you please clarify what this is for and if ski boots are needed and how we can send samplesSolicitation M67854-18-R-1402 is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for the Military Ski System. The Government requests both Military Ski System Product Demonstration Models and a written proposal demonstrating the capabilities outlined in the Statement of Work at Attachment 1. The Government will evaluate ski systems per Attachment 02, Provisions and Clauses, page 3 Technical Capability. Ski boots, however, are not a requirement in this Military Ski System solicitation. Offerors shall send proposal package and Product Demonstration Models to the address in Attachment 02 Provisions and Clauses, page 3.

2Does the USMC acknowledge that a metal spline under boot (incorporated into ski lay up) will ensure that the binding mounted to the ski will not pull away from ski for a 300 pound skier?Yes, a metal spline under boot will ensure that the binding mounted to the ski will not pull away from the ski for a 300 pound skier.3
3Is there a width requirement (under foot/boot) on the ski?There is no width requirement.3
4Could you please clarify if the combined package weight is 14lbs including both the skis and bindings? The following language was included regarding the weights.

The skis shall have a combined weight of no more than 7lbs.

The bindings shall have a combined weight of no more than 7lbs.The weight of the skis is separate from the weight of the bindings. The combined weight of both skis shall be no more than 7lbs and each ski shall weigh no more than 3.5lbs. The combined weight of the bindings shall be no more than 7lbs and each binding shall weigh no more than 3.5lbs.3

Do you need me to print out all 34 pages of Attachment 2 (4 times including the original) and submit just to state that we are not making any changes to our SAM Reps and certs?

Or, should I just print out that section to include, or just that pageNo, Offerors are not required to print out all 34 pages of Attachment 2, but quoters are required to submit a completed copy of the provision 52.212-3 contained in Attachment 2.3
6I just noticed that we are supposed to provide another 2 samples with the submission/response to the solicitation. Any chance you have the skis I submitted for the RFI? Could I get by with sending just one more set?In accordance with the terms of the combined synopsis/soliciation, quoters must submit two Military Ski Systems Product Demonstration Models with their respective quotations. Samples provided in response to the Military Ski System RFI (M67854-18-I378) cannot be used to satisfy the PDM requirement of subject combined synopsis/solicitation.3
7Can we get more info on the boot to be used to check compatability?The two boots that are identified in the Statement of Work are the Vapor Barrier and Intense Intense Cold Weather boots. For details on the Vapor Barrier boot, please see the following website: https://ciehub.info/clothing/footwear/BootsCWInsulatedRubber.html.
