Questions

1. Please clarify and confirm that CLIN 0001 proposed provides UT inspection per the solicitation. The Line 0001 in the proposal states, “Dye Penetrant Inspection of Finish Machined Parts (Post-Hydrostatic Testing) UUV#1. See Performance Work Statement for detailed description”. LINE 1001 appears to be a repeat of LINE 0001, please clarify.

1. Per the PWS, Section 4, LINE 0001 is 11 forgings, LINE 0002 is four parts, mockups. Please clarify two LINES with significantly different tasks have exact same hours quoted.

1. Same observation as item 2 above, for LINES 1001 and 1002, same hours proposed for penetrant testing and ultrasonic testing indicate an incomplete understanding of work scope IAW with PWS 4.0

1. Capabilities Document provided does not make reference to PWS 2.2 NAVSEA Technical Publication T9074-AS-GIB-010/271, Requirements for Nondestructive Testing Methods. Per the solicitation, this is a required standard.

2. Are personnel certified to PWS reference 2.2 NAVSEA T9074-AS-GIB-010/271? (ref: section 3.3. of PWS)

1. Do quotes for the line items (CLINs) include all deliverables (CDRLs) and equipment that will not be furnished by the government? (ref: section 4.1, 4.3.1, and 6.0 of PWS)

3. Contracting Officer’s Management Report (CDRL Item A001) –PWS 6.1

3. Report -- Modifications to Existing Inspection Procedures Required to Perform Inspection Through Anodization and Coatings (CDRL Item A002) – PWS 6.2

3. Nondestructive Inspection Procedures and Procedure Qualification Data (CDRL Item A003) – PWS 6.3

3. Ultrasonic Inspection Scan Plans (CDRL A004) – PWS 6.4

3. Nondestructive Inspection Records/Reports (CDRL Item A005) – PWS 6.5

3. Ultrasonic Shear Wave calibration standards – PWS 4.1 and 4.3.1

1. Past Performance. Does the vendor have experience working with applicable documents (e.g. T9074-AS-GIB-010/271, SAE-AMS 2630, SAE-AMS 2632, and/or ASTM E 2375 – PWS 2.0) and with the subject material type (i.e. forged aluminum alloy AA-6061-T6 and/or AA 7175-T74)? (PWS - Std Clause 52.212-2, Factor 2)

1. Request Man Hour breakdown for CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, and 1002 to include proposed hours and costs for each CLIN (e.g. procedure and scan plan development, scanning and evaluation, reporting, UT calibration standards, material, etc.)
