Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations in lieu of PPQs is acceptable" and in Section L, Factor 2: Past Performance, sub‐section (d) it states "While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror." Will the Government allow the entire CPARS documentation (consisting of multiple pages) to be included as an attachment to the Vol. II Technical (Non‐

Response: Each CLIN/SLIN states it is FOB: Destination.

TDP documentation:

8660262 (applies to 8660231)

8660317 (applies to 8660250)

8660519 (applies to 8660458)

8660520 (applies to 8660462)

Response: The Government will furnish the GFE required to support test requirements associated with

8660262, 8660317, 8660519, and 8660520. All GFI/GFE, including these ATR's, will be provided along with the GFE required to support test.

16) Question: If an offeror chooses to include full page IMS figures as an attachment to the Volume II

Technical, can they be excluded from the page count?

Response: Please refer to Section L of the RFP. Section L, Paragraph 2.2 states which is and what is not included in the page limit/count. The Government does not intend to count figures that are attachments as part of the page limit/count.

17) Question: Automatic Test Equipment - S9100 Automated Test Equipment is identified as GFP, but no associated GFI is identified in Section 3.1. Test Station GFI is needed to properly assess the labor needed to maintain and calibrate the ATE, as well as the time/cost for performing the tests called out in the TDP.

Response: The Government will provide GFE and be responsible for the maintenance of the ATEs.

18) Question: Automatic Test Equipment - S9100 Automated Test Equipment is identified as GFP. Please clarify that the government intends to deliver, set up, verify operation, and instruct the contractor on proper procedures.

Response: The Government will deliver, set up, and provide training on operating the ATEs.

19) Question: Production Environmental Tests - Unclear on scope. Does every UCEU and cable need to be environmentally tested?

20) Question: Paragraph thet begins with "The Contractor shall hold program reviews commencing after contract award which shall cover progress, schedules and problems." Number/Frequency of program reviews not specified. (Not the same as management meetings discussed in following paragraph)

Response: Program Review will be conducted quarterly.

21) Question: TECHNICAL PROPOSAL – SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS – SUPERSEDING PART

NUMBERS (NAVSEA) (OCT 2018) - The provision only discusses DMS identified at time of proposal submission. There is no no mention of being able to invoke a DMS clause during execution.

Response: The Government will conduct DMSMS.

22) Question: Item No 2 & 3 of Section B - Is the various 0002 AA, AB, AC, AD expected to be part of a single award, or do they need to be priced assuming no overlap. Likewise on CLIN 0003

Response: CLIN 0002 AA, AB, AC, AD are part of the base year award.

23) Question: Note these items are all noted as FOB Destination - Which means they would be accepted at the receiving facility. Is acceptance at that site just inspection that it arrived safely? What criteria will be used at the destination?

Response: DCMA will sign off before delivery and inspection at destination will ensure that it arrives safely.

24) Question: How are items such as : design changes due to obsolete parts, TDP changes due to issues discovered during production, design changes as a result of field testing etc. expected to be covered. Is that all out of scope of this contract, and would be handled via the change clauses?

Response: The Government will be responsible for any design changes.

25) Question: Is the customer willing to entertain changes to the POP deliveries? We note with concern that the options are all 26 weeks after execution and may be exercised at any time within 5 years of award. For example, delivery of 90 units for CLIN 0011 in 6 months after execution, without proper lead time to procure material if there is a break in production, will be challenging. Are there any adjustments if the government chooses to execute two options at the same time (e.g., simultaneously award options 0008 and

0011 and expect 120 units in 6 months).

Response: The delivery and lead time for options CLINs will be similar to the base year CLINs.

26) Question: Both W2 and W3 cable assembly drawings (8660265 & 8660266) include a "Qualification

Testing Requirements" note that includes multiple destructive testing requirements. Are these qualification tests required by this Build To Print effort, or were the qualification tests already confirmed by the design agent? If the qualification tests are required to be performed by this Build to Print effort, how many total units of each part number are required to complete each test?

Response: No qualification tests are required for the W2 and W3 cables.

27) Question: CLINS 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20 call for the top level UCEU Assembly 8660230. Included in the 8660230 assembly are the W2 and W3 cables as find numbers 3 and 4, 8660265 and 8660266 respectively. These same cables (W2 and W3) are then called out again as deliverable items in CLINS 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21 and 22. Will contractors be required to deliver the W2 and W3 cables within CLINS 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20 or are the cables intended to be removed from the UCEU top level assembly 8660230 as separate deliverables in CLINS 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 21 and 22?

Please confirm the intention of the Government to procure the W2 and W3 cables within the top level

UCEU Assembly as well as standalone deliverables.

Response: The Government intends to buy the W2 and W3 cables within the top level UCEU assembly as well as standalone deliverables.

28) Question: The TDP contains DWGs for the HEB CCAs (8660458 & 8660462) but the part numbers do not seem to be referenced in the overall UCEU assembly. These DWGs call out the same parent (8660457) and same end item (8660450). The TDP does not contain the referenced DWGs for either of the parent or end item part nor are any of these part numbers called out in PLs. Please provide clarification on why the HEB

CCAs DWGs (8660458 & 8660462) are included in the TDP. Please provide DWGS for parent (8660457) and end item (8660450).

Response: The HEB CCAs (8660458 HEB Interface and 8660462 HEB Driver) are not part of the UCEU

TDP. The vendors should ignore these drawings.

The following drawings are also not applicable to the UCEU: 8660430 Harness, Ethernet, HEB/MEB

8660431 Assembly, CCA Cage, MEB

8660458 CCA, Interface HEB

8660459 PCB, Interface, HEB

8660460 Schematic Diagram, HEB Interface

8660462 CCA, Driver HEB

8660463 PCB, Driver, HEB

Amendment 4:

1) Question: If the supplier is a DoD Contractor with an active JCP certification, after verifying can we directly provide a copy of the relevant portions of the TDP to the DOD Contractor? Files will be securely transferred to the identified JCP Data Custodian, and proof of the supplier’s DD2345 can be provided directly to the USG. This should be in compliance with Distribution Statement D restriction distribution to

DOD and DOD contractors only.

Response: Yes, as long as the vendor has the JCP certification and proof of DD 2345.

3) Question: Referring to TDP drawings 8660231 and 8660317: Since Government is not providing to

Offerers' the 8660317 Acceptance Test Requirements document referenced on assembly drawing 8660231 during the Proposal process, will the Government provide sufficient description of the types of tests and/or test durations described in the document to allow Offerors to adequately estimate the scope of work to be bid?

Response: The Government does have the ATRs and will provide them.

4) Question: Referring to TDP drawings 8660250 and 8660262: Since Government is not providing to

Offerers' the 8660262 Acceptance Test Requirements document referenced on assembly drawing 8660250 during the Proposal process, will the Government provide sufficient description of the types of tests and/or test durations described in the document to allow Offerors to adequately estimate the scope of work to be bid?

Response: The Government does have the ATRs and will provide them.
