N00167-16-R-0014 Question Set 4

1) Could you please provide guidance on where to locate "Qualification of Glass Reinforced Plastic Composite Material Systems" SPEC EB-4941, I have been unable to locate it online.

A) SPEC EB-4941 has been added to the attachments of this solicitation.

2) Could you please provide guidance on how to locate the technical information on material properties, application process, required qualifications for vendor application, and material supplier for Delivery Order 1, Item 9, Hydro shaping Material (HYSHMA), Pour-in-place Compound (Part# NSWCCD Formula G-071) as it appears to be a NSWCCD developed material that is not a COTS product.

A) Sample Delivery Order 1, LSV AOS, Section 4.3 states: "Reference (b) item 9 installation and machining and item 5 installation are outside the scope of this effort." Therefore, there is no need to provide the technical information for Delivery Order 1, Item 9 since it is not needed to fulfill the requirements of the sample delivery order in the RFP.

3) Facilities Requirements: Must the prime’s subcontractors maintain a Defense Security Service (DSS) approved security system for the manufacture of non-classified parts?

A) If the subcontractor is only performing work on non-classified parts, and is performing work in a separate location than where the classified work is being performed, no approved security system is needed.

4) Security Requirements: Will the government accept Interim Secret security clearances for Key Personnel?

A) Yes the Government will accept an Interim Secret security clearance for a key personnel if the interim clearance was granted after 01 Aug 2016. If it was granted prior to 01 Aug 2016 the contractor will need to provide verification from both the FBI and local Police of the fingerprint check.
