SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been added by full text:

Solicitation N00024-16-R-6231 Q&A

Amendment 4

Question 48 Due to the complexity of all the potential pricing options, the cost volume is expected to be extremely large. The time and expense required to comply with this magnitude of hard copies presents an undue burden for this proposal effort. Bidder requests an amendment to the solicitation response requirements to allow the cost volume back-up data to be provided in a standard PC compatible CD-ROM only.

Answer 48 The Government does not agree that the time and expense required to comply with this magnitude of hard copies presents an undue burden. However, the Government is reducing the number of hardcopies in accordance with the modification below to Section L.

Question 49 FAR clause 52.243-6 entitled “Change Order Accounting” pertains to “supply and research and development contracts of significant technical complexity”.

Bidder requests that this clause be deleted as this solicitation is only for “supply” and not research and development and it is not a mandatory clause.

Answer 49 The Government declines to remove FAR clause 52.243-6.

Question 50 Bidder requests that the Government review and clarify its reply to Questions 26 & 27.

Answer 50 The answers to Questions 26 and 27 have been amended below.

Question 51 Please extend the due date for receipt of offers to 12 August 2016.

Answer 51 Offeror response date was extended to 2:00PM EDT on 12 August 2016 in Amendment 3.

Question 8 has been amended:

Question 8 Provide Sea Con 8304-106/110: “ Sensor Connector”

Answer 8 The Government declines to provide the requested document. Reference to this document has been removed from Attachment 8.

Attachment 5 (provided as hard copy only) is missing Table 5 in the hard-copy provided:

(CONFIDENTIAL)

Answer 11 NSWCCD-721-LVA-2015/002 was resent to Bidders to ensure each had a complete document.

Question 26 has been amended:

Question 26 The Government has developed the DURA-9 and NGD-9 materials over many years and has used this product to field two EDM systems, and is currently developing a VCS forward fit design with a known material system that is both uniquely formulated and proprietary to a single source. Based on this circumstance, how will the Government evaluate an approach that does not include the current supplier? Also, will the Government provide under this solicitation the proper Part A and Part B chemical formulas, the qualification processes used by the Government to qualify these materials, and the Government-specified controlled manufacturing processes required to produce Parts A and B?

Answer 26 The Government does not agree that DURA-9 and NGD-9 materials are proprietary to a single source. The information provided by the solicitation is adequate for offerors to manufacture the materials.
