SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

VENDOR'S QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS:

1. Comment: Administration of the Level II training and testing can be accomplished in a condensed period, but the experience will take considerable time. An individual cannot be certified until all SNT-TC-1A requirements are met:: 1) vision exam, 2) training, 3) experience, 4) general exam, 5) specific exam, and 6) practical exam. All but

#3 "experience" can be accomplished in a tight window. The experience will take a longer period for the Level II candidate.

2. SOW Pargraph 2.7. (SF 1449, Item 1) Tech pub 271 requires ANST-TC-1A but says MIL-STD-410 (NAS410) is equivalent.. SOW Para 2.7 says ASNT-TC-1A and NAS 410. The requirements in NAS 410 are more stringent.

Is the individual to be trained from trainee to Level II, or is the individual a current Level I going to Level II?

Training hour requirements in the two documents are not the same. Assuming an individual is going from trainee to

Level II. For Penetrant, SNT-TC-1A requires 12 hours, while NAS410 requires 32 hours.. For Magnetic Particle, SNT-TC-1A requires 20 hours, while NAS410 requires 32 hours. If done strictly to SNT-TC-1A, it would be possible to complete in 6 days. For NAS410, each method would require 5 days to complete training and testing necessitating 2 weeks (10 business days). Once I know which you specifically need, then I can provide a price for on-site (Washington), or at my facility.

You are probably aware, but I just want to ensure you know experience hours for the two documents are also slightly different as well. SNT-TC-1A requires 400 NDT hours for Level II of which 210 must be in penetrant.

NAS410 Rev 4 requires all 400 hours in PT. For MT, SNT-TC-1A requires 530 hours of NDT experience for Level

II of which 280 hours in MT, while NAS410 requires all 530 hours in MT. Will there be someone who is a current

Level II, to oversee the work of the trainee or Level I obtaining the necessary NDT experience.

3. SOW 2.7.3 (SF 1449, Item 2). Is this just for MT and PT methods? Is this strictly intended for certification records, or are you looking for an audit of the program including process control. A program audit (certification records, processes to ) would take substantially more time 5 days vs 1 or 2.

4. SF 1449, Item 3. Missing Exhibit A. CDRL For 1423-1.

5. SF 1449, Item 4. Is the Level III training to be in both Penetrant and Magnetic particle? Is this to be conducted at your facility or the vendor's.

6. SF 1449, Item 5. Is this the same individual or another separate from Item 4 above.

7. SF 1449, Item 6. Three (3) oversights to be done for $2500.00 or is this each? Travel and one day would take up

$2500.00.

ANSWERS:

We are soliciting for NDT Level II Training and Certification including Level III Oversight (correction applied on

FBO posted description). Also, the SF 1449, item 5 should state; Provide firm fixed price for Level II Training and

Certification (correction applied).

1) The individual is currently a certified Level II with all experience hours met.

2) The individual is currently a certified Level II with all experience hours met. Requesting refresher training and recertification (2.7.1, 2.7.2)

3) PT & MT methods only. Level III annual review shall include NDT quality assurance and quality control processes, procedures, certification and record keeping (2.7.3)

4) SF 1449, ITEM 3 is not missing. Exhibit A. / CDRL is a separate attachment and was posted in FBO as a separate document.

5) Level II Training and Certification only with Level III Oversight. All Training, Certification and Oversight shall be conducted at NUWC Keyport facility.

6) Level II Training/Certification will be limited to (1) one individual (SF 1449, item 5).

7) Not to exceed $2500 for each year the service is performed (SF 1449, item 6).
