1. Section 5.3 (b) of the Cost Volume proposal requirements states that the Government is not soliciting investments. However, the deliver time for CLINS 0001 and 0101 are such that raw materials would have to be ordered before the actual contract award and/or exercise of option. This appears to be a contradiction since the only way to meet the requirements would be to make an investment even though a contract award is not guaranteed. Is this the Government's intention?

RESPONSE: The Government is not soliciting contractor investment.

2. Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.6 of the SOO make reference to having meetings with an Integrated Product team to "discuss performance" and get "insight into the effort's progress". With an award date of August 2015 and a delivery for CLIN 0001 of SEPT 23 2015, the offeror basically has to have a completed design in order to meet the delivery date. IPT's are normally used during development and not after a product is delivered. Is the Government asking to have IPT discussions after the product is delivered or are all of the IPT discussions supposed to take place during the 3 to 4 weeks allowed for production, testing, and shipping? If they are supposed to happen after delivery, does this mean the offeror is supposed to plan for modification of the prototype cable design based upon IPT discussions?

RESPONSE: The Government intends to communicate with the Respondent(s) using the IPT Process throughout the period of performance of the awarded contract. The Government, at this time, does not intend for there to be modifications of the prototype cable design after contract delivery.

3. Section 2.1.3 of the SOO discusses the contractor having to provide technical data and engineering support for supportability but there are no delivery dates or CDRL elements associated with what would appear to be a contract deliverable. Could the Government please provide more information as to how and when this information is required?

RESPONSE: The Solicitation contains Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) LS01. The Respondents are not expected to provide any CDRL deliverables until after contract award.

Based on the information provided herein, the Government is not extending the response date.
