Number Date Topic RFP Reference Comment Response

1 4/29/2014 TI-16/APB-15 Definition PCS SOW Appendix A; Page B-2;

Introduction Paragraph

It is unclear as to what the TI-16/APB-15 baseline will be composed of relative to hardware and software architecture and functionality. It is shown as the ‘baseline’ in the “Example of PCS Variants and Estimated

Demand” figure (SOW Section 1.4 page 4); however, there is no description available for the TI-16/APB-15 baseline.

There is no significant changes planned for TI-16 / APB-15. App E - Section

1.5.3.6 has been updated for clarification details. SOW, Section 1-3, Section 1.4 diagram has been updated to remove TI-16 / APB-15 reference.

2 4/29/2014 Dynamic Resource

Allocation

PMS425-PCPS-001 dated 21 January

2014; Page 17; Section 3.1.1.2

Section 3.1.1.2 of the Performance Specification states that “PCS shall dynamically allocate processing and resource allocation”. It is unclear as to how the Navy will assess compliance to this requirement.

No change to PCS Performance Specification. The verification method should be stated in the Specification Requirement Verification Matrix

(SRVM) document. The government will review and approve document as stated in the CDRL A018 Specification Requirement Verification Matric

(SRVM).

3 4/29/2014 CLIN 0001 and Legacy

Definition

PCS SOW Appendix D; Page E-2;

Introduction Paragraph

It is not clear what baseline(s) are considered legacy and to be supported under CLIN 0001. The “Example of

PCS Variants and Estimated Demand” figure (SOW Section 1.4 page 4) implies TI-16/APB-15 is the legacy baseline to be supported under CLIN 0001. The above SOW paragraph does not mention support for TI-16/APB-

15 or any earlier baselines.

The SOW, Section 1-3, Section 1.4 diagram has been updated to remove

TI-16 / APB-15 reference.

Capabilities

Statement of Work; Page B-4; Section

1.5 – System Requirements

If TI-16/APB-17 is based on, and equivalent to TI-16/APB-15, what are the contractor’s responsibilities in regards to “inherited” system/performance problems?

Unless they will be corrected in TI 16/APB 15, recommend table of capabilities expanded to include:

1) Correction of Timed Flights per latest NUWC Tech Memo requirements

2) Removal of proprietary products and dead/unsupported languages; i.e. CommonGEO, RADEX, ADA

Acknowledged. The Capability Improvements for TI-16 / APB-17 (SOW;

App. A; Section 1.5), TI-18 / APB-17 (SOW; App. B; Section 1.5), and TI-

18/APB-19 (SOW; App. C; Section 1.5) have been removed. The Capability

Improvements requirements have been re-allocated to the SOW, Appendix D.

Architecture

Assessment documentation

Statement of Work; Page D-2; Section

1.5 – System Requirements

It is unclear what “PCS Re-architecture Continuation” requires of the contractor. Clarification is needed to correctly estimate the scope of the work in this section. The current RFP implies that the re-architecture should be completed with TI 16/APB 17. Is that the navy’s intent or are they allowing for a phased solution. ? This should be clarified; we also recommend that proposals that deliver a fully re-architected PCS system sooner be given higher technical consideration (recognizing that this be evaluated in a best value context) . We recommend that the minimum attributes for a successfully re-architected system should be clear and should include removal of proprietary products and dead/unsupported languages. At the conclusion of the re-architecture , all of the following should have been replaced in their entirety:

1) ADA

2) RADEX

3) X-Windows/Motif

4) Common GEO

The complete elimination of these tools/technologies will enable the adoption of the MOSA principles cited elsewhere in the RFP.

The SOW, Section E has been generated for PCS Re-architecture requirements. The Re-architecture has the same POP as TI-16 / APB-17 which is planned to complete in the one TI / APB phase. SOW, Section 1-

3, Section 1.4 diagram has been updated to reflect the requirement efforts.

26 4/25/2014 GFI Data, related to

27 4/27/2014 CPIF Line item pricing and evaluated cost

RFP page 185, Figure 5 , Schedule B and related SOW paragraphs

Figure 5 cites government total evaluated cost to include the summation of a number of line items that are currently identified as CPIF. As CPIF line items, these items will require clear relatively unambiguous requirements to ensure common proper pricing assumptions across bidding contractors. For CPIF line item developments that are dependent on the government defining new required capabilities ( CLIN 005, for TI

16/APB 17; CLIN 10 for PCS arch; CLINS 0105, 108 for TI 18/APB 17; CLIN 0205, 0208 for TI 18/APB 19 ) the Navy should more clearly articulate what new capabilities are required with detailed requirements to more accurately determine and estimate impact to the PCS architecture and software designs, and ultimately the estimated cost of implementation.

The Capability Improvements for TI-16 / APB-17 (SOW; App. A; Section

1.5), TI-18 / APB-17 (SOW; App. B; Section 1.5), and TI-18/APB-19 (SOW;

App. C; Section 1.5) have been removed. The Capability Improvements requirements have been re-allocated to the SOW, Appendix D.

28 4/27/2014 CPIF Line item pricing and evaluated cost

RFP page 185, Figure 5 , Schedule B and related SOW paragraphs

Figure 5 summation currently includes CPIF pricing for lab assets (step 12 for CLINs 0007, 0107, and 0109).Since these are currently identified as CPIF and priced as evaluated costs, assumptions and requirements should be clear so they can be properly priced. Lab asset costs are primarily dependent on the Navy tech insertion team

COTS processor selection and BYG-1 program “rack and stack” process that has yet to take place for TI 16, let alone TI 18 . With the amount of uncertainty associated with the level of virtualization (and what a TI 16 or TI 18

BYG-1 H/W footprint would look like), coupled with the lack of processor hardware definition, it does not seem reasonable to make these items part of the evaluated price at this time. Recommend these line items be priced after contract award, as either CPIF or CPFF.

No update to the SOW. The Offeror needs to propose the lab assets they need to accomplish the technical effort they propose.

29 4/27/2014 VPM integration SOW APP B, pg C-1, first paragraph and sec 1.5 Capability Item table

The Navy should clarify the expectation for the additional variant capability and define what is expected with the new VPM VIRGINA BLOCK V 44 tube launcher interface.. and whether it is just an extension/scaling of the existing VA Block III WCS-CWL launcher interface or something different than that.

The Capability Improvements for TI-16 / APB-17 (SOW; App. A; Section

1.5), TI-18 / APB-17 (SOW; App. B; Section 1.5), and TI-18/APB-19 (SOW;

App. C; Section 1.5) have been removed. The Capability Improvements requirements have been re-allocated to the SOW, Appendix D.

30 4/28/2014 CLIN applicability to

Technical Instructions

RFP Section B; Page 24, and Section H, In Note A (page 24) it seems to indicate CLINs 0005, 0007, 0010, and options 0006, 0105, 0106, etc…) are to be authorized via Technical Instruction. However, the CLINS are not included in the Technical Instruction Clause on

(page 78). Please clarify if the clauses in Note A are applicable to the Technical Instruction clause in Section H.

The RFP will be clarified.

31 4/28/2014 Limitations on

Subcontracting

RFP Section I, Page 87 and Section M, Page 175, M 1.0

In accordance with Section 1651 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 and the GAO’s decision in

Sealift, Inc., B-409001 (Jan. 6, 2014), recommend clarification of the Limitations on Subcontracting Clause to be in compliance with the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act that permits the small business prime contractor to count small business subcontractors toward the prime’s own performance requirement under this clause.

This contract is not being awarded under the special Small Business Act programs, such as 8(a) and the others listed in the NDAA language, therefore the Limitations on Subcontracting Clause is not required to be changed.

32 4/28/2014 Past Performance and

Cost Performance

Report

RFP - Addendum to Section L, Page

158, Attachment L-1, Instructions to

Offeror, 3rd paragraph

The above statement in the RFP requires submittal of the most recent Cost Performance Report (CPR) with the past performance questionnaires. Recommend adding “where EVMS reporting is required by the contract.”

The RFP - Addendum to Section L, Attachment L-1 has been updated to reflect the submission of a C/SSR or the Contractor's Monthly Progress, Status and Management report would be acceptable.

33 4/28/2014 Earned Value

Management System

RFP Section I, pages 94-95; Section L

Page 116; and Attachment 2 – SOW for the Submarine Payload Control System

(PCS), Page 7. Section 3.1.4

The RFP, on pages 94 and 116, states an acceptable EVMS is applicable to contracts over $50 million but the

SOW does not make this distinction with regards to a dollar threshold and states that a formally validated and accepted EVMS is required for the referenced CLINs. Please clarify if an acceptable EVMS is required no matter the dollar threshold. Additionally, the CLIN references for EVMS in the solicitation and the SOW do not match

(the SOW does not include CLINs 0010, 0006, 0106, and 0108). Please confirm the applicable CLINs.

EVMS will be required for all "to completion tasks" .

34 4/28/2014 Government Furnished

Information for Basis of

Estimate format

RFP Section L 2.0.5.4.3, Page 150 and

SOW Section 3.1.3, Page 7

The Basis of Estimates (BOE) format (Contract WBS) was not provided in the Government Furnished

Information (GFI), Attachment 3. Please provide the format document as soon as possible in the ETIC since this is something that is critically necessary for pre-proposal efforts prior to formal RFP release.

The WBS will be provided as part of the GFI at RFP release.

35 4/28/2014 Responsibilities of PCS in context of the UAV payloads

RFP Section L 2.0.5.1, Section 1.1.1, Page 130, Paragraph 2

Request clarification of the responsibilities for PCS with regard to UAV payloads. Will PCS be responsible for the launching and control of the vehicle? Will PCS need to support UAV sensors, weapons, and countermeasures?

Or will PCS responsibility be isolated to specific payload functions (i.e. weapons and countermeasures only)?

We believe current submarine command and control capabilities for UAVs have been executed primarily as a

Tactical Control System function.

The Capability Improvements for TI-16 / APB-17 (SOW; App. A; Section

1.5), TI-18 / APB-17 (SOW; App. B; Section 1.5), and TI-18/APB-19 (SOW;

App. C; Section 1.5) have been removed. The Capability Improvements requirements have been re-allocated to the SOW, Appendix D.

36 4/29/2014 SRVM Attachment 2 SOW 1.5.1 Requirements

Documentation

Recommend these documents be made available via the ETIC prior to formal RFP release. Acknowledged. The final TI14 APB13 SSS will be provided as part of the

GFI package at RFP release.

37 4/29/2014 CDRL A021 Software

Design Description

PCS_Exhibit_A_CDRLS DI-IPSC-81435A designates that the format should be contractor format unless otherwise specified. Will the

CDRL allow contractor format? DI-IPSC-81425A also designates that the CDRL should specify whether the delivered format has to compatible with particular support software, can be in an automated tool, etc – rather than a traditional document. There is no format specified by the CDRL. Please clarify if any specific format is required.

The format is specific in the DI-IPSC-81425A. No further specific requirements are added in the SOW.

38 4/29/2014 Scope of work: Strike

Component Integration

Attachment 2 SOW Scope The integration and test of the strike components and interface with PMA280 and PMA281 is currently under

NUWC tasking. We believe the only portion tested by the incumbent is the WCS interface to the strike components. Is the intent to add the strike component integration and testing task to the scope of this contract? Please clarify

Yes, the Strike component integration and testing is part of PCS scope as documented in SOW Section 1 Scope

39 4/30/2014 Scope Clarification for

Pricing

Draft RFP Section B, page 2 of 187, CLIN Item # 0001

CLIN 0001 executes level-of-effort engineering efforts through the execution of task-specific TIs. The labor mix and thus the blended rate for execution on any specific TI may vary. Can the Government provide a "Fixed-For-

Evaluation Labor-Mix Table" that provides hours per labor category - such that the Government can derive a representative blended rate for evaluation purposes.

Government does not intend to provide a "Fixed-For-Evaluation Labor-mix Table".

40 4/30/2014 CDRL Pricing Draft RFP Section B, page 9 of 187

(CLIN 0011) compared to page 26 of

187 (Note D)

If CLIN 0011 is Not Separately Priced (NSP), then why does it reference Note D which states that price blocks must be filled out for related CDRLs? Can the Government pre-fill Box 17 and 18 on all CDRLs with "NSP."

The RFP Note D has been updated.

41 4/30/2014 ISO 9001 Requirement Draft RFP Section B, page 52 of 187, 52.246-11 HIGHER-LEVEL CONTRACT
