GOVERNMENT RESPONSES

1. Question: Please confirm if the government intends to request a second proposal with the detailed design, engineering, manufacturing, and testing approaches, as well as detailed pricing of the proposed ASCVs under Phases II and III. If so, please clarify the timing of the second proposal, and if it will be a deliverable under Phase I of the ASCV contract.

Response: Yes, the Government intends to request a second proposal from those that were awarded a contract in Phase I for detailed design, engineering, manufacturing, and testing, as well as detailed pricing of the ASCV, at the conclusion of Phase I. The proposal will not be a deliverable under Phase I but will include deliverables that were developed under the Phase I contract. PHASE II IS A DOWNSELECT FROM PHASE I AWARDEES.
