N00014-17-S-B009 Amendment 0002 1

N00014-17-S-B009 Torpedo Advanced Propulsion System (TAPS) Amendment 0002

The purpose of Amendment 0002 to BAA N00014-17-S-B009 is to respond to questions submitted prior to 1 March 2017, extend the closing date, and to amend the BAA.

1. The following provides questions and responses:

Q1: On page 16 of the BAA, Section FULL PROPOSALS, it states:

“Offerors shall submit a notional proposal for Phase II effort that shall include a preliminary description of their anticipated Phase II effort. Offerors shall address how they will meet the Objective metrics

(listed on the classified addendum) and System Attributes (Section F) and provide a ROM Phase II cost estimate including the basis of estimate.”

Does the Phase II notional proposal count towards the 20 pages of the technical section for Phase I?

A1: The Phase II Notional proposal does not count towards the 20 pages of the technical section for

Phase I. See Amendment 2D below.

Q2: On Pages 16 and 17 of the BAA, Section FULL PROPOSALS it states:

The following five documents with attachments comprise a complete proposal package:

(1) Proposal Checklist (.pdf)

(2) Technical Proposal Template (.pdf) – limit 20 pages

(3) Cost Proposal Spreadsheet (Excel): Unlimited

(4) Adequacy Checklist for Pre Award Audit (SF 1408) (as applicable)

(5) Stand-alone non-proprietary Statement of Work (SOW) in Word

(6) ONR Representation and Certifications

With regards to item (2) Technical Proposal Template (.pdf), is it ONR’s expectation that the Title

Page and Table of Contents should count towards the 20 page limit of the technical proposal section?

A2: Title Page and Table of Contents do not count towards the 20 page limit of the technical proposal.

See Amendment 2D below.

Q3: On Pages 5 and 6 of the BAA, Table 2 – Electric Power System Concept Attributes, it states: Weight limit- 1500 lbs*. Is this 1500 lbs weight requirement for dry weight or wet weight? Does the Phase II notional proposal count towards the 20 pages of the technical section for Phase I?

A3: See classified addendum. The classified addendum contains the relevant technical information against which the proposals will be evaluated. With respect to page count, see Amendment 2D below.

N00014-17-S-B009 Amendment 0002 2

Q4: On Pages 5 and 6 of the BAA, Table 2 – Electric Power System Concept Attributes, it states: Weight limit 1500 lbs*. Can ONR please provide clarification if the weight of the coil is included the 1500 lbs restriction? If yes, what is the weight of the coil, and what is the space reserved for the coil?

A4: See classified addendum. The classified addendum contains the relevant technical information against which the proposals will be evaluated.

Q5: On page 7 of the BAA, Section Phase I Base (up to 18 months), a Preliminary System Design is a required deliverable. Can ONR please provide additional details as to the expectations and the deliverables associated with this requirement?

A5: The Preliminary System Design deliverable should consist of the design package of your system/sub-system based on the TRL-4 analysis.

Q6: On Pages 5 and 6 of the BAA, Table 2 – Electric Power System Concept Attributes, it states: Energy section envelope- Right circular cylinder with a 18.5” diameter and 72” length. If the shell is integrated into the Energy section, can proposed solution utilize the full 21" diameter of the torpedo section?

A6: See classified addendum. The classified addendum contains the relevant technical information against which the proposals will be evaluated.

Q7: For Technology Two: Al-AgO Electric Power System, is it anticipated that Silver will be provided as

Government Furnished Material?

A7: Silver will not be provided as Government Furnished Material.

Q8: After reviewing the RFI and the confidential addendum, several inconsistencies relative to the Mk48 alternator speed range other speeds/ratios communicated in the addendum.

A8: The Government does not believe there are inconsistencies in the addendum, which contains the relevant technical information against which the proposals will be evaluated.

Q9: Page 6, Scope - First Bullet. The Scope statement request "A matrix listing all test parameters and test conditions of components and full-scale testing shall be provided in the proposal." Can the test matrix be submitted in the SOW section of the proposal, instead of the Technical Section?

N00014-17-S-B009 Amendment 0002 3

A9: The test matrix shall be included in the Program Plan as part of the Technical Proposal. See

Amendment 2B below.

Q10: Page 6, Scope - Second Bullet. Reference statement "Develop a preliminary 3D CAD-based Solid

Model demonstrating attainment of the performance specifications.” A 3-D CAD solid model does not provide data for system/engine performance. The 3-D solid model would show the hardware fitting in the existing hardware envelope, hence the hardware specification. Please provide an explanation of the statement.

A10: The 3-D CAD model shall show the hardware layout/fitting for the design to achieve performance specifications. See Amendment 2C below.

Q11: Is an existing MK48 Hazards Analysis Document available as a model of the Preliminary Hazards

Analysis requested in the BAA? If so, can you provide a contact to request the document?

A11: The Preliminary Hazard/Safety Analysis shall be generated using MIL-STD 882 (series http://www.bmpcoe.org/library/books/mil-std-882d/index.html) as guidance. Format shall be in accordance with DI-SAFT-80101 (series http://www.system-safety.org/Documents/DI-SAFT-

80102C_SAR.pdf). See Appendix B, forwarded by this Amendment 2E.

Q12: Is a copy of the current MK48 after-body/tail-cone (AB/TC) Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs) documentation available?

A12: All required documentation for proposal development is contained in the BAA and/or the Classified

Addendum.

Q13: Is the fidelity of the full scale 3-D solid model requested in each phase of the program to include every hardware component (down to nuts and bolts) of the whole propulsion system, or just a 3-D model of the modified system and its interfaces?

A13: 3-D models are required for any component/system modified or developed. Interfaces with other systems shall be included.

Q14: Will ONR consider extending the closing date for awards?

A14: Yes. The closing date is amended to 1 May 2017. See below Amendment 2A.
