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

3) Question: Drawing 8652315-9 calls out PN: BU-67301B. We have reached out to the Manufacturer (Data

Device Corporation) but they are not willing to supply us a quote on this without an email from the Navy stating that we are allowed to procure this component on the Navy’s behalf. Can you please either provide us with a letter that we can pass along or provide said vendor with an email directly?

Response: Data Device Corporation will provide quotes. Vendors requests for quote have to reference solicitation # N6339420R0014.

4) Question: Offerors received VLS UCEU test procedures via DoDSAFE on Monday, October 5. To allow

Offerors to provide accurate, complete and compliant RFP Proposal (Volumes for technical, past mailto:Tony@absopulse.com performance and price), for the 8660317 Acceptance Test Requirements, will the Government approve an extension to Nov 5, 2020?

Response: The Government has no intention of extending the proposal due date.

Amendment 7:

Q&A

1) Question: Is thermal transfer method for ID marking acceptable? ID marking materials are not clearly specified on the cable drawings.

Response: ID markings in accordance with the TDP.

2) Question: There seems to be an error in the drawing 8660289rev-. Wire running list page 8. Wire number

140 and 142 should use material C M27500-20RC2U00 not D M27500-20RC2S06 in order to adhere to the drawing depiction. There is no M27500-20RC2S06 in the BOM and there is no shield shown between J3 contacts K and J and splice 1 and 2. Wire number 141 and 142 should use material G M27500-20RC2S06 not F M27500-20RC3U00. Can the Government please confirm which part numbers should be used?

Response: The drawing will be updated and forward for Amendment 7.

3) Question: One of the issues currently that we would like clarification on is CCA PN 8660510-9. There are

3 items other than solder and coating that make up this board; 8660513-1 (Adlink Technologies PN:

CM2BT2-E3825-ETT-CC), 8660511-1 (Delkin Devices PN: ME04TFNRB-XN050-D which is obsolete) and 8660512-1 (Transcend Information Inc PN: TS512MSK64W6H*). On the previous solicitation for the

VLS HEB & MEB units, this solicitation required the same board, PN 8660510-9. In the question and answers on that solicitation, it called out a new PN that contains all 3 of these so the vendor would only have to acquire one part number which was CM2-BT2-E3825 NV. Is this the same for this current solicitation? Or does the vendor need to purchase all 3 items and incorporate them? If we do need to incorporate them, we are requesting use of the Delkin Devices replacement PN: ME08TQJAK-3N050-D.

Response: Adlink will provide quote for part number CM2-BT2-E3825 NV. Vendors are to reference

N6339420R0014 when request for quotes.

4) Question: On part number 8660300 find number 1 part number M39012/55-3126 is for a coax connector only. It looks like the intention was for it to be purchased as a complete harness and labeled. The remainder of the BOM is labeling. They do not call out a coax cable part number and the qty of connectors should be

2 but it says 1. Can you please advise how you would like vendors to quote PN 8660300?

Response: The cable part number used on 8660300 is an SMA Male to Male cable with part number:

FLA02-S1S1-S12-AL, cage code: 3SRB4. Note that FLA02-S1S1-S12-AL is the custom part number the manufacturer created including having the drawing specified labels pre-attached on the cable

Updated Response: The drawing will be updated and forward for Amendment 7. Address in NSWC2-2014 sent in Amendment 7.

Question 3 from A7: Question: One of the issues currently that we would like clarification on is CCA PN

8660510-9. There are 3 items other than solder and coating that make up this board; 8660513-1 (Adlink

Technologies PN: CM2BT2-E3825-ETT-CC), 8660511-1 (Delkin Devices PN: ME04TFNRB-XN050-D which is obsolete) and 8660512-1 (Transcend Information Inc PN: TS512MSK64W6H*). On the previous solicitation for the VLS HEB & MEB units, this solicitation required the same board, PN 8660510-9. In the question and answers on that solicitation, it called out a new PN that contains all 3 of these so the vendor would only have to acquire one part number which was CM2-BT2-E3825 NV. Is this the same for this current solicitation? Or does the vendor need to purchase all 3 items and incorporate them? If we do need to incorporate them, we are requesting use of the Delkin Devices replacement PN: ME08TQJAK-

3N050-D.

Updated Response: Adlink will provide quote for part number CM2-BT2-E3825 NV. Vendors are to reference N6339420R0014 when request for quotes. The updated ECP is not complete. The part number to order is CM2-BT2-E3825 NV.

Question 4 from A7: Question: On part number 8660300 find number 1 part number M39012/55-3126 is for a coax connector only. It looks like the intention was for it to be purchased as a complete harness and labeled. The remainder of the BOM is labeling. They do not call out a coax cable part number and the qty of connectors should be 2 but it says 1. Can you please advise how you would like vendors to quote PN

8660300?

Updated Response: The cable part number used on 8660300 is an SMA Male to Male cable with part number: FLA02-S1S1-S12-AL, cage code: 3SRB4. Note that FLA02-S1S1-S12-AL is the custom part number the manufacturer created including having the drawing specified labels pre-attached on the cable.

Address in NSWC2-2014 sent in Amendment 7.

Question 9 from A7: Question: See quote_13668610 from Digikey Attached. This correlates to PN

CC1210MKX5R7BB476 which is use on BOM 8660284-9. The quote states no bid due to 0 stock and no backorders allowed due to MFG restrictions. Lead time is also unknown. Can the Government please provide a replacement part number for find number 8 on BOM 8660284?

Updated Response: Alternate Part Number is: CC1210KKX5R7BB476. Updated ECP will provided with

Amendment 7 via DoD Safe. Address in Amendment 8 NSWC2-2014R2 6388121_NOR 019

N25Q256A13ESF40G is an obsolete part. Can the government please provide a replacement to this component?

Updated Response: Alternate Part Number is: MT25QL256ABA8ESF-0SIT TR. Updated ECP will provided with Amendment 7 via DoD Safe. Address in NSWC2-2014 sent in Amendment 7

4) Question: Regarding the subject line RFP N6339420R0014 for the UCEU, I had a question regarding

Volume I for Price:

It indicates that it is expected that the resulting contract will be award based upon adequate price competition, and therefore the offeror is not required to submit or certify cost and/or pricing data with their proposal

However later on it indicates that:

o Volume I of the proposal shall include pricing spreadsheets for all CLINs, for all items (with options) as described in Section B. Spreadsheets shall be in Microsoft Excel format with cells containing working formulas that are visible for Government examination of price buildup and methodology. *All pricing shall be proposed in whole dollars*

Could you define price buildup and methodology further? Do the spreadsheets only have to show the unit price multiplied by the quantity, or is the USG requiring detailed information such as total material costs, total labor costs, overhead rates, and profit % as part of the “price buildup and methodology”?

If the latter, is that necessary given the presumption of adequate price competition and the Section M evaluation criteria (pg. 119) that price will not be characterized as acceptable or unacceptable?

Response: Price will not be rated as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” per Section M of the RFP and it is the

Government’s intention that there will be adequate price competition; thus submission of certified cost and pricing data will not be necessary. If you choose to submit an excel sheet, they should be Microsoft Excel sheets with working formulas and proposed in whole dollars. As this is Firm Fixed Price, what information you share in the excel sheet is Offeror’s discretion.

5) An updated ECP will be sent via DoD Safe.

6) The due date for this solicitation is being updated to 11/02/2020.

Amendment 9:

1) Question: Can the Government please provide an ALT for JANTXM19500/469-03 used on 7105566-9 which has a 40 week lead time?

Response: No alternate for JANTXM19500.

2) Question: We cannot find a source for 8551401PX used on 7105566-9. Does the Government have an

ALT for this component?

Response: 8551401PX is available from Analogue Devices, per authorized distributor Mouser.com.

3) Question: Capacitor (ControlNO: 6388328-70; MFGPN: SK05CC944KHA350) used on 7104322-9, 7104322-19, and 7105566-9 has been quoted at $2000 each from Mouser. Does the Government have an

ALT capacitor that is less expensive?

Response: No alternate part SK05CC944KHA350.
