About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to solicitation N0017323QKN21 for the refurbishment of an anechoic chamber for the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research. The solicitation requires all onsite personnel to hold a minimum SECRET clearance, but this requirement can be waived for personnel onsite for less than one week to complete VSWR testing. It can also be fully waived if the installation and testing can be completed within two weeks, with penalties of $4,000 per day for escorts if the work exceeds two weeks. No additional measurement equipment is required as the Navy will provide reused assets for research projects conducted in the chamber.

N0017323QKN21 RFQ Q&A_v2
QUESTION:
It appears there are no requirements for measurement system equipment in this project. Is there a separate RFP planned for equipment to be used in the refurbished chamber, or is the plan to reuse existing equipment?
ANSWER:
There is no measurement system planned for the chamber. It is being designed as a general purpose chamber in which NRL’s engineers will install temporary equipment/test fixtures as required for each individual project that makes use of the chamber. NRL has a complete suite of RF test equipment that will be reused for each research project, so no additional assets are required.

QUESTION:
In the Statement of Work dated 7/21/2023 under Attachment 2, line 2.1 it states:
QUOTE:
Attachment 2: Security and Work Restrictions
2.1 Security Clearance Requirements
All personnel working onsite on this project must have at a minimum a final SECRET clearance.
UNQUOTE
Neither the installation Technicians with (redacted), nor the anechoic VSWR testing Technicians of the 3rd party (redacted), will have SECRET clearance.
Is it possible to waive this requirement? If not, we will have to decline to submit a firm fixed proposal.
ANSWER:
The requirement can be waived for personnel that will be on-site for less than 1-week (VSWR Testing Technician) [This short duration exception is called out in the SOW].
If the company can complete the demo of the chamber and re-installation of absorber and fix the doors in less than 1-week, NRL can waive the requirement completely (Install + VSWR test can take 2 weeks).
N0017323QKN21
01 September 2023
NRL has a secure building and must provide escorts for the duration of the project. NRL cannot provide multiple escorts for a multi-week project.
If the vendor comes back with a schedule that completes in under 2-weeks, and can’t meet the schedule, the penalty shall be the cost of escorts. NRL’s escort cost is $4K/day (2 people/day).
