The following items are applicable to this modification:

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

CLIN 0010

The CLIN extended description has been added:

The price/costs for all technical data generated by the contractor directly or indirectly in its performance of this procurement effort is to be included in the price/costs paid by the Government under CLINs 0001 thru 0009. This line item is Not Separately Priced (NSP). The Government shall have unlimited data rights to all data developed for this procurement in accordance with DFARS 252.227-7013.

The cost constraint NSP has been added.

Questions and Answers:

1) When doing tests with cartridges from a US M33 Reference lot , we found it does not meet the velocity delta requirement of 65 feet/s between velocities measured at ambient and extreme temperatures. A criteria for pressure and velocity variations at extreme temperatures, as compared to results obtained at ambient has been in use for NATO military ammunition for some time, but for 5.56mm and 7.62mm cartridges only, never in .50 caliber. Since even the M33 reference cartridge does not meet this requirement, will the government consider removing it from this .50 caliber RRA RFP?

Answer: The requirement for the variation at extreme temperatures for the muzzle velocity (3.10.1) and chamber pressure (3.11.1) in PS‐JXNN‐F16‐0003 and PS‐JXNN‐F16‐0004 will be waived. The data concerning the variation of muzzle velocity and chamber pressure at extreme temperatures will be required, but only used for informational purposes only. The requirement for max allowable chamber pressure of 65,250 PSI for the extreme temperatures is still required.

The Performance Specifications will be revised prior to award to reflect this change.

2) We have noted that for each of the first 5 CLINs the delivery quantity appears as "Up to 250,000" monthly. Are the monthly quantities for the first 5 CLINs to be combined together to provide a maximum total monthly supply quantity of up to 1,250,000 rounds ? Or rather is the total maximum monthly quantity that the manufacturer is required to supply limited to 250,000 rounds only ?

Answer: The total maximum quantity of rounds required per month is 250,000. Those rounds can be comprised of multiple CLIN configurations depending on delivery orders. The initial 250,000 rounds remain at 210 days ADC.

3) Are we to price CLIN 0010 Data?

Answer: No, the line item detail has been amended to state that this line is Not‐Separately Price (NSP). See above.

N00164-17-R-JN41

4) Drawing #13032542 makes reference to two other drawings: 13032549 (Cover assembly, M2A2) and 13032548 (Body assembly, M2A2) We kindly request to receive scanned copies of these two drawings in order to get a more complete viewing of the M2A2 ammunition box.

Answer: Drawings 13032548 and 13032549 are provided as attachments to the RFP.
