SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

Amendment 1: The purpose of this amendment is to extend the RFP due date from 08/14/2020 to 08/17/2020.

Amendment 2: Due to its size exceeding DOD SAFE limits, TDP will be shared to Offerors via FedEx. Instructions have been updated in the description of this notice available in BETA.sam.gov. Section J of this solicitation has been updated accordingly.

Amendment 3:

Q&A

1. Question: Is Attachment J-3 required to be submitted at the time of proposal submission or at time of contract award?

Response: Attachment J-3 has been revised and is for informational purposes only. A revised version has been uploaded and is named “N6339420R0033 Attachment J-3 GFP rev 1.”

2. Question: If submission of J-3 is a requirement for proposal submission, does every tab in the excel spreadsheet need to be completed and should it be an attachment to the pricing volume?

Response: Not Applicable. Attachment J-3 is for informational purposes only.

3. Question: Could you provide instructions for completion of form if required?

Response: Not Applicable. Attachment J-3 is for informational purposes only.

4. Question: Would the Government consider a four week extension to the proposal due date?

6. Question: Do the MEB (8660400-9) and HEB (8660450-9) LRUs need to go through Production

Environmental Tet per WS20130 since the CCAs inside will have already gone through environmental testing per the CCA drawings? If so, what should the MEB and HEB top level assembly be classified as in

Table 1: PET ASSEMBLY ENVIRONMENTS on sheet 3 of WS20130? Are they Assemblies, Circuit

Card Assembly LRUs, Power Supply LRUs, Electromechanical LRUs, or Indicator Panel LRUs?

Response: The MEB and HEB are Electromechanical LRU’s. This requires Temperature Shock and

Random Vibration. Note 2 does apply to the MEB and HEBs. The MEB and HEB are not required to undergo Temperature Shock at the LRU level if the CCA’s have been environmentally stress screened to the temperature shock requirements of 3.1.1 of WS20130.

Amendment 8:

1. Question: Drawing 8660511 is a source controlled drawing that we have to by the SSD from Delkin

Devices Inc. We have been informed by Delkin Devices that this part is going end of life. The last time buy for this item is 11/13/20. If the award is not made prior to this, does the Government have an alternate part that can take the place of this current part?

Response: The Government had identified an alternate and the part number is ME08TQJAK-3N050-D from Delkin Devices Inc.

Amendment 9:

1. Question: Please provide copies of the following:

TL130-AD-PLN-010-VLS

TL130-AD-PLN-030-VLS

Response: The drawings will be provided via DoD Safe.

2. Question: In regards to the CCA’s: If a non-ROHS leaded part can be found, can that part be substituted for the ROHS part during manufacturing? This question relates to the note requiring certain components to have the leads leaded before soldering during assembly.

Response: If the part is on the part list, it can be used. For ROHS parts the PL will have a note regarding whether tinning is required or not. This is a built-to-print. Any part substitution requires review by the

Technical Design Agent and approval via a drawing change or a waiver.

3. Question: Can the Government please provide drawings 8660483 & 8660485 to be able to fabricate

8660525?

Response: The drawings will be provided via DoD Safe.

4. Question: The solicitation states that offers quoted past the governments allotted delivery schedule will be considered non-responsive. P/N 8660418 is sole source and has a 6 month lead time, therefore NO vendors can supply the end item within the required delivery of 26 weeks ARO. We request delivery be changed to

60 past the current delivery date.

Response: Delivery has been changed from 26 weeks ARO to 34 weeks ARO and is reflected in Section F and 52.211-8.

5. Question: In the solicitation, it states that offeror that quotes a delivery longer than the specified 26 weeks from contract award for initial deliverables will be considered unresponsive. We have been expending significant effort to identify and price all components in this complex manufacturing project. We have already identified issues with certain parts, and the Navy has been extremely responsive to those inquires; - this is greatly appreciated. As part of our quoting diligence, we have been looking at parts that have longer than anticipated lead times; - one such part is CM2-BT2-E3825-ETT-CC. We have identified two suppliers for CM2-BT2-E3825-ETT-CC: who are both Tier 1 suppliers. Both suppliers have responded that delivery on this part is between 20 and 22 weeks; however, we recently received an email from one supplier, that indicated due to COVID-19, that lead times for this part are actually running longer.

As the Navy is aware, there is significant time needed for parts integration and testing of the MEB and

HEB before delivery. This integration and test per Navy requirements (environmental, vibration, inspection per AS9102, etc.) can take between 4 to 5 weeks. Given this information coupled with the fact part CM2-

BT2-E3825-ETT-CC will most likely be delivered longer than the 22-week time frame, it is not possible for us, or any other vendor that does not have currently CM2-BT2-E3825-ETT-CC in sufficient stock, to be able to meet the 26-week time frame. Will the Navy consider an extended delivery of the initial shipment at

34 weeks each (Qty 50 units in the first 34 weeks), and then conform to the current delivery schedule for each order? This would allow for the production quantity orders to be received and integrated into the final units.

Response: We recommend the vendor buy Adlink P/N: CM2-BT2—E3825 NV:

1) The vendor no longer need to procure 8660510-9 FN2 (8660511-1), since this is already provided on the Adlink product.

2) The vendor no longer needs to procure 8660510-9 FN3 (8660512-1), since this is already provided on the Adlink product.

3) The reference on 86550510-9 to Note 10 and 8660514 is Obsolete By Events (OBE), since this function will be conducted by Adlink.

4) There is an additional license drawing being added to 8660400 and 8660450 in order to ensure that the VxWorks Operating System license is procured from Windriver. For the purposes of this solicitation, the license will be provided as GFE.

5) Drawings will be updated accordingly.

The GFP has been updated on N6339420R0033 Attachment J-3 GFP rev 2.

6. Question: For PET per WS20130, do the MEB and HEB need to undergo single axis random vibration or tri-axial random vibration, or both? Will the Government provide a MEB and HEB test fixture for the random vibration PET?

Response: The Government will provide MEB and HEB test fixture for the random vibration PET.

The GFP has been updated on N6339420R0033 Attachment J-3 GFP rev 2.

Amendment 10:

1. Question: Amendment 9, Question 5’s response calls out a new recommended part number, PN CM2-BT2-

E3825 NV. Can you please confirm that the “NV” is indeed part of the part number in the response to the question or the part number is CM2-BT2-E3825?

Response: Yes, NV is included in the part number.

Amendment 11:

1. Question: Which portions of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment J-S-1) need to be completed by the offeror?

Response: RFP Section L, Factor 2, paragraph b explains this.

2. Question: Do you have an alternate P/N that can replace 971060151

Response: This will be provided as GFE. The GFP has been updated on N6339420R0033 Attachment J-3

GFP rev 3.

3. Question There are two p/n’s, 8660400-1 on p/l 8660400-9 and 8660450-1 on the p/l 8660450-9. These are listed on the p/l’s but not on the drawing and the data on the p/l is incomplete. Does not specify rubber type.

Response: The part in question, Find No. 47 on both the 8660400 and 8660450 drawings is called out on

Sheet 3 of both drawings (Section C-C). Flag notes 21 and 20 on the respective drawings detail the dimensions the material is to be cut to and application process.

The material specification is found on the parts lists, denoted by an ‘M’ in the -1 column. The material specification is A-A-59588, CAGE CODE 2V507, 1/32 THK RUBBER STRIP, 50A DUROMETER.

This material is called out on three drawings. 8660400, 8660450 and 8660500. In all three cases, the

McMaster-Carr part number that meets the 1/32 THK RUBBER STRIP, 50A DUROMETER requirement with adhesive backing is 1466N11.

4. Question: We have reached out to an Adlink Authorized Distributor, on PN: CM2-BT2-E3825 NV and they do not have any knowledge of this exact part number. Can you please provide contractors with a datasheet for this NV version of this board and/or can you please provide an authorized source for these that can provide a quote on the NV version.

Response: Adlink is the OEM and can provide quotes for this part.
