Q&A

Number Question and Answer

Q1 Is it NAVSEA’s intent to evaluate the Offeror’s production and manufacturing approach, including production processes, procedures, material handling, and controls for the fabrication of the TB-29X

Tow Cable Assemblies? The TB-29X tow cable assembly is not included in the required hardware configuration.

Page 143, Section M 2.2.1.c

“c) The degree to which the proposal demonstrates the Offeror’s production and manufacturing approach, including production processes, procedures, material handling, and controls for the fabrication of the TB-29X Towed Array Assemblies, Tow Cable Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and

Test Sets; and identifies the production level documentation needed to produce the TB-29X Towed

Array Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and Test Sets.”

A1 No, it is not NAVSEA’s intent to evaluate the Offeror's production and manufacturing approach, including production processes, procedures, material handling, and controls for the fabrication of the

TB-29X Tow Cable Assemblies. Please see the modification below to SECTION M - EVALUATION

FACTORS FOR AWARD, Paragraph 2.1(c) under VOLUME I - TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT

PROPOSAL, evaluation criteria.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

Paragraph 1.1(g) under VOLUME I - TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL is hereby modified:

From:

g) Meets or exceeds the Towed Array Assembly reliability threshold or objective requirements. The offeror shall provide a Reliability Block Diagram for the TB-29X Towed Body (Consisting of a TB-29X Towed

Array Assembly and Tow Cable Assembly) that includes the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) at the array module or tow cable level and bases for estimated MTBF for each module or tow cable element.

To:

g) Meets or exceeds the Towed Array Assembly reliability threshold or objective requirements. The offeror shall provide calculations using a Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) for the entire TB-29X Towed Array

Assembly and TB-29A Tow Cable Assembly that includes the Mean Time Between Critical Failure

(MTBCF) at the array level (summed as a series of modules) combined with historical TB-29A tow cable critical reliability performance (17,500 on-hull hours MTBCF). A basis for estimated MTBCF for the

Towed Array Assembly portion of the RBD shall be provided.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Paragraph 1.1(g) under VOLUME I - TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL is hereby modified:

N00024-15-R-6263

g) The degree to which the proposed demonstrates compliance with the Towed Array Assembly reliability threshold or achieves the objective reliability requirement. The offeror that demonstrates it can achieve the objective reliability requirement will receive a more favorable evaluation rating.

g) The degree to which the proposed demonstrates compliance with the Towed Array Assembly reliability threshold or achieves the objective requirements. The Offeror that demonstrates it can achieve the objective reliability requirement will receive a more favorable evaluation rating.

Paragraph 2.1(c) under VOLUME I - TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL is hereby modified:

c) The degree to which the proposal demonstrates the Offeror’s production and manufacturing approach, including production processes, procedures, material handling, and controls for the fabrication of the

TB-29X Towed Array Assemblies, Tow Cable Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and Test Sets; and identifies the production level documentation needed to produce the TB-29X Towed Array Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and Test Sets.

c) The degree to which the proposal demonstrates the Offeror's production and manufacturing approach, including production processes, procedures, material handling, and controls for the fabrication of the TB-

29X Towed Array Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and Test Sets; and identifies the production level documentation needed to produce the TB-29X Towed Array Assemblies, Array Receiver Units, and Test

Sets.
