2 Is there a limit to Past Performance Contract entries for Prime and Sub Contractors? ES-2 Relevant Contract Summary indicates three (3) for the Prime and two or three for subs?

N00001924R0007 Table ES-2; Att L- 1 Vol 1 ES Tables

There is no limit to Past Performance contract entries for Prime and Subcontractors. Offerors shall provide contract entries in Table ES-2 for all recent/relevant contracts in accordance with the instructions and definitions set forth in Section L and Attachment L-1 Vol 1 ES Tables of the solicitation. Insert additional rows as necessary and provide a unique contract number reference for each entry in accordance with the Instructions of Att-L Vol 1 ES Tables.

3 During Testing, if non-related items to the Series 3.5 Modification (e.g.

Torquemeter / Gearbox) are found to be Non-RFI, will these go to CLIN 0002 O&A or CLIN 0004 O&A for repair and additional testing? Does this create a TAT hold?

N00001924R0007 Section L 2.2.1 and Solicitation Section F

If items not related to the 3.5 modification are discovered to be non-RFI, notify the COR for further disposition. PWS 6.0 has been clarified on this point. The repair of torquemeters or gear boxes are not covered under this contract. This could drive a TAT hold for the QECA.

4 Would the Government explain TAT related to CLIN 0001 (60-days) and 0003 (70-days)? Are these additive (e.g. 130-days for the full QECA) deliver?

N00001924R0007 Section L 2.2.1 and Solicitation Section F

The maximum TAT for CLIN 0001 (Series 3.5 Power Section) is 60 days. The maximum TAT for CLIN 0003 (QECK Inspection, QECA Reassembly and Test) is 70 days, and is not additive to the TAT under CLIN 0001. In accordance with the PWS, the Government may induct standalone power sections for upgrade or QECAs for power section upgrade. When inducting a standalone power section, only CLIN 0001 would be funded and the maximum TAT is 60 days. When inducting a QECA, CLIN 0001 and CLIN 0003 would be funded with CLIN 0001 covering the power section upgrade portion, and CLIN 0003 covering the QECK Inspection, and QECA Reassembly and Test. The power section upgrade funded under CLIN 0001 would occur after the QECK Inspection, but before the QECA Reassembly and Test of CLIN 0003. Therefore, the 70 days specified as the maximum TAT for CLIN 0003 is inclusive of the 60 day maximum TAT for CLIN 0001. Also, please refer to Section F of the solicitation where offerors are to insert proposed TAT days for Items 0001AA, 0001AB, and 0003.

5 Please confirm that instruction to "dissassemble, clean, and inspect all items" does not include Torquemeter, Accessory Gearbox, and Reduction Gearbox modules

PWS 5.17 and PWS 6.0 Gear box and torquemeter modules will be disassembled/removed from the QECA, but they will not be further disassembled or repaired. Gear box and torquemeter modules must be inspected for servicability and pass QECA test cell runs. If the gear box or torquemeter are discovered to be non-RFI, contact the COR for disposition instructions. PWS 6.0 has been clarified on this point.

6 Please confirm that engine logbook, AESR, MSR, ASR, and SRC Cards will be provided in hard-copy form with each QECA delivered to the awardee.

PWS 5.5 Yes hard copy records will be provided for each induction. PWS 5.5 has been clarified on this point.
