SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1) What is the expectation regarding the First Article requirements under ITEM 0001 and how will that affect the production units under 0002. Is the expectation that the manufacturer produce 3 FA units at a roughly 36 week lead time that get (hopefully) approved, and then wait an additional ~36 weeks for the qty 148 production units? (Which would be about 72wks for completion of the contract.)

A1) Delivery for first articles, CLIN 0001, is extended to 180 days. CLIN 0002, Production units, is extended to 180 days. The production units’ delivery schedule will be established at the time the first article units are accepted. See answer A6 below for first article acceptance notification.

Q2) Or is the expectation that the switch manufacturer should have all materials on hand in hopes that the 3 FA units pass and accepted, to quickly turnaround the 148 production units shortly thereafter?

A2) See answer to question 1.

Q3) Would it be possible to waive/replace the 3 FA units in-lieu of 1 Lot Acceptance Test unit? The LAT unit would be chosen at random from the production lot, tested through a set number of cycles until unit fails/ becomes unusable, and cover the entire lot. The LAT unit can ship along with test report.

A3) At this time, first article requirement is not being waived. Government is firm on this. The intent for 3 items in advance of production units is to ensure the product passes quality and inspection checks, prior to producing the 100+ production units. This is in the best interest of the contractor and the government.

Q4) ITEM 0003 – Can you please confirm what exactly is being requested under this item? Just standard test reports (Production Test and Inspection reports) of the entire lot or something else?

A4) CDRL A001 is to report the testing results.

CDRL A002 is to report failure analysis and corrective actions if any unit fails IC inspection.

CDRL A003 is to request deviations to technical requirements (performance baseline) after award.

CDRL A004 provides a written report during the production timeframe that includes a brief statement of overall production build and delivery status.

Q5) As for the virtual post-award meeting, confirming that as a distributor for the switches, we would be able to coordinate a 3-way call to also include the switch manufacturer? Or does this call have to happen only specifically with the switch manufacturer?

A5) The contract awardee (wining offeror) will attend any meetings. These meetings would not include a third-party manufacturer.

Q6) For the FA units, would both our company and the switch manufacturer be contacted at the same time if parts pass / fail?

A6) Only the awardee will be notified of any items that don’t pass inspection, typically via a Vendor Discrepancy Report (VDR) notification.

Items that have passed first article testing will be accepted via a modification to the contract, which would establish a production delivery date.
