Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Q u e st i o n

Vendor Question Government Response

For a small-business prime that does not manufacture the items itself, may the prime satisfy the technical manufacturing, first article, inspection, and facility requirements through a proposed significant small-business manufacturing subcontractor, provided the first article and production units are produced at the same manufacturing facility?

Yes, with conditions. Since there is no active SBA Class or Individual Waiver for this NAICS code, the Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR) (FAR 52.219-33) applies. The prime contractor may satisfy technical, first article, inspection, and facility requirements through a subcontractor only if that manufacturing subcontractor is a certified small business manufacturer producing the items domestically, and the prime meets the Limitations on Subcontracting (FAR 52.219-14) requirements.

Section L states that proposal requirements apply equally to subcontractors. For a significant manufacturing subcontractor, does the Government require separate proposal volumes and contract documentation from that subcontractor, or may the subcontractor's technical, past-performance, cybersecurity, and company information be incorporated into the prime contractor's four proposal volumes?

Incorporation is permitted. The Government does not require separate, standalone subcontractor proposal volumes submitted directly to the agency. All subcontractor technical capabilities, past performance, cybersecurity, and company information must be integrated into the prime contractor's four primary proposal volumes.

Regarding CMMC Level 2 (Self), must the prime contractor itself hold the required current CMMC status and provide a CMMC UID at proposal submission if all CUI/controlled technical data would be processed only on the manufacturing subcontractor's compliant information system? Please confirm whether both the prime and any subcontractor handling CUI must provide applicable CMMC UIDs.

Yes. In accordance with Section L of the solicitation and DFARS 252.204-7025(d), the Offeror must provide the CMMC UIDs issued by the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) for each contractor information system (including those of the prime contractor and any subcontractors) that will process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI during contract performance.

If the subcontractor's system will be used to process CUI, the applicable CMMC Level 2 UID for that system must be provided. If the prime contractor's systems will only process FCI, the applicable CMMC UID for that system must still be provided in accordance with the solicitation instructions.

N0016426RGW220001

The solicitation requires JCP registration to receive the controlled drawing package. Please confirm whether both the prime contractor and the manufacturing subcontractor must be JCP-certified when both will require access to the controlled technical data.

Yes, both must be certified. If both the prime contractor and the subcontractor require access to the controlled drawings and technical data to prepare proposals or perform under the contract, both entities must maintain active Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration. The prime contractor is legally prohibited from sharing JCP-controlled technical data with any subcontractor that does not have an active JCP certification.

Volume IV requests a DUNS number and DCAA/DCMA office POC. May offerors provide their UEI in place of DUNS, and may a small business with no assigned DCAA /DCMA office state "Not Assigned / N/A"?

Yes. Offerors should provide their Unique Entity ID (UEI) instead of a DUNS number, as the federal government has officially transitioned away from the DUNS system. This is now updated in Amendment 01 of the solicitation. If an offeror does not have an assigned DCAA or DCMA office/point of contact, they may state "Not Assigned / N/A" in their proposal.

The technical proposal shall be used as a method to determine if the proposed solutions to technical problems are valid and practical.
