The purpose of this Amendment is to respond to questions submitted against Synopsis/Solicitation Number N00173-15-R-RS02.

Question 1: Where is the Data Receiver located? Is it located on the trailer or in the station’s electronic rack?

Answer 1: The Data Receiver is located at the equipment rack in the Operations area.

It is not located at the antenna/trailer.

Question 2: What communication protocol is used for the MDA processor? Is there an ICD available?

Answer 2: Standard communication protocol is TCP/IP.

Question 3: What is the funding profile? The solicitation and SOW do not identify an estimated cost?

Answer 3: Funding profile is not available. The purpose of the solicitation is to receive competitive cost/price proposals from interested vendors.

Question 4: When is award scheduled or anticipated? The SOW (Para 2.7) identifies the Cortex HDR XXL Receiver that currently had approximately an 8-12 week lead time to procure?

Answer 4: The Government anticipates that contract award will take place no later than

30 SEP 2015.

Question 5: Is Physical set-up authorized? The solicitation states “…ready for use…:”

while toi SOW authorizes 30-minutes.

Answer 5: The term “ready to use” means that there will not be a requirement to assemble the antenna before operation can take place. The 30-minute window is allotted time for the antenna to be operational after it arrives at the site.

Question 6: What are the Optional Spare part Kit requirements for CLIN 0003. The SOW states “…IAW the specifications…”, but the spares kit is not mentioned in the

SOW.

Answer 6: Composition of the Optional Spare Part Kit for CLIN 0003 is the responsibility of the Vendor. Vendors shall recommend a spare parts kit applicable to their proposed system in their proposal for review by the Government.

Question 7: What is the Elevation coverage requirement? The solicitation identifies 0 – 180 degrees, while the SOW identifies 0 – 90 degrees.

Answer 7: The elevation coverage is identified in the SOW as ±360º in Azimuth and 0- 90º in Elevation, which is the normal term utilized for a typical elevation over azimuth antenna pedestal. Coverage needs to be from horizon to horizon for all the viewable sky.

Question 8: Has the CTAR program or NRL previously fielded a similar CTAR Antenna Solution? Against current timeline?

Answer 8: NRL has previously purchased a similar CTAR antenna system under Contract Number N00173-13-C-6005.

Question 9: The stated delivery date is 11 NOV 2015, which corresponds with Veterans Day. How is delivery to be accomplished on a U.S. Government holiday?

Answer 9: The stated delivery date is hereby revised to 12 NOV 2015.

Question 10: Is there a provision where equipment imported from another country would enter the United States duty-free under any resulting contract?

Answer 10: If a need is identified in the successful offeror’s proposal for equipment imported from another country, the resulting contract will include the FAR clause at 52.225-8 entitled “Duty-Free Entry”.

Question 11: Will the equipment delivered under any resulting contract be subject to

ITAR?

Answer: The Government does not anticipate that equipment delivered under this contract would be subject to ITAR.
