NOTHING IN THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES A CHANGE TO THE E-6B BLOCK II SOLICITATION. ALL CHANGES TO THE SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED VIA FORMAL SOLICITATION AMENDMENTS, WHICH WILL BE POSTED TO THE NAVAIR WEBSITE:

1. Would the Government please confirm the existence and post award availability of flight test data derived from the E-6 Level “D” Equivalent Simulator (ELDES) effort (Contract number F42630-98-C-0301/ECP E-6-1134/Trainer Criteria Report CDRL A00C and A00E)? This data consists of CDs containing Instrumentation and Calibration Reports, Aircraft Instrumentation/De-Instrumentation Plan, Flight Test Report, PDF plots of selected parameters of all test points, Models and Flight Test Logs. Additional CDs contained ASCII data of all parameters for all flight test points collected. Potential custody of the CDs are Tinker Master Library, Aircrew Training Systems (ATS) Vendor maintained, Tinker AFB, OK; PMA-271 Library, NAS Patuxent River, MD or NAVAIR TSD Code 4.6.1.3 – TSD Orlando, FL. The availability of this data is critical to assessment or design for the proposed E-6B Block II upgrade program.

Answer: The Government will add the E-6 Level D Equivalent Simulator Training Criteria Report to the GFI list. This information has been deemed unnecessary for bidding purposes and will therefore be provided to the successful offeror.

2. RFP Section M, Part B, 1.2, first paragraph, last sentence states, “Emphasis will be placed on the offeror’s proposed Integrated Master Schedule and Risk Management Plan.” The Risk Management Plan is identified as CDRL A00K, but there is no reference to providing a draft Risk Management Plan in Section L. Would the Government clarify if a draft Risk Management Plan is required to be delivered with the proposal?

Answer: The Government will change Section M, Part B, para 1.2 to read:

Program Management -- The Government will evaluate the offeror’s plan and ability to execute the Block II Program, including the schedule to perform this effort and the realism of the offeror’s schedule. Emphasis will be placed on the offeror’s proposed Integrated Master Schedule and Risk Management.

3. Page 62, para. 3.1 of the RFP regarding Past Performance requires written consent letters for principal subcontractors and/or team members to be submitted.

Are the consent letters required to be submitted with the Past Performance volume or are they required before hand?

Answer: Written consent shall be submitted with the Past Performance Volume.
