Solicitation Number: N00173-15-R-SE05 Amendment 0006

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions received from potential offerors.

Question 1: If on-site work is required, will it be required at the NRL DC campus on Overlook Ave SW or at the Stennis Space Center in MS?

Answer: If on-site work is required it will be at NRL-DC on Overlook Ave.

Question 2: Section L, page 59 of the solicitation limits the Technical Approach section to 25 pages:

“The Technical Approach Section of Volume 1 – Technical Management Proposal [not including the Key Personnel, Company Experience or Past Performance Sections] shall not exceed 25 pages in length for each product the bidder addresses”

The SOW page 5 requires the hyperhemispherical solution to be a separately executable, separately priced option:

“FOV (degrees): 360 H, 45 V (B) - [15 down 30 up wrt horizon], 105 V (hyperhemispherical) (E).

Any offer for a solution that addresses the extended requirement shall also include an approach that only addresses the baseline requirement, with the extended solution offered as a separately executable and separately priced option. Any offer that addresses the extended vertical field of view requirement shall not compromise any performance metric within the baseline vertical region.

Since addressing the hyperhemishierical option is required to be a “separately executable and separately priced option”, please confirm that additional page count solely addressing the hyperhemispherical option is permissible. We recommend that this additional page count be limited to a maximum of 5 pages.

Answer: An additional 5 pages for description of the ‘hyperhemispherical option’ in the technical proposal is permissible.

Question 3: In Amendment 5 of the solicitation, the Government provided the following clarification. As a follow up to the clarification, is the MTBF a desire per the SOW wording or a compliance level requirement as listed in the table, RFP Attachment 1, P. 5 and Attachment 1, P. 6, Table 1)?

Answer: This is a compliance level baseline requirement. Additionally, offerors are reminded of the following language in the Scope section on page 3 in the RFP Attachment 1, “Proposals that offer an approach with minor deviations from the baseline metrics with compelling technical, risk, or cost justification will be considered.”
