Amendment 0002 Summary:

The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to offeror questions, instruct offerors to use different minimum bend radii for drawings 7111122 and 7111129, update the Cross Reference Matrix contained in Section L paragraph 1.13.3, and extend the proposal submission deadline.

1. Two additional questions were received in reference to N6339424R0002. An answer from NSWC PHD follows below each question.

1. Please clarify the inconsistencies on delivery within the SOW. We recommend all deliveries either 40 weeks after DO award or FAT acceptance, if FAT is needed.

Section 3.8.1, pg. 159 states, “First Article parts identified in Table 1 shall be delivered within four months of the Effective Date of the Delivery Order Award. 3.8.1.3 Deliveries for all other parts and kits on subsequent Delivery Orders shall begin delivery within 26 weeks of the Effective Date of the Delivery Order Award; the remaining balance of parts and kits shall be delivered within 40 weeks of the Effective Date of the Delivery Order Award as specified in section F.

Section F of the Solicitation states 40wks ADC.

The last section of the Cross Reference Matrix pg. 251, for SOW 3.8.1.3 states, “Deliveries for all other parts and kits on subsequent Delivery Orders shall begin delivery within six months of the Effective Date of the Delivery Order Award; the remaining balance of parts and kits shall be delivered within nine months of the Effective Date of the Delivery Order Award.

Answer: Please see the revision to the Section L Cross Reference Matrix included in Amendment 0002.

2. We’ve run into a few drawings, such as 7111129 and 7111122, calling for bend radii that appear impossible to achieve. Have these parts been previously manufactured as drawn?

According to bend radii tables for this material and temper (5052-H32), we can suggest the following bend radii –

7111129 Material Thickness - .090” Bend Radius on dwg - .008” Suggested min bend Radius - .090”

7111122 Material Thickness - .25” Bend Radius on dwg - .10” Suggested min bend Radius - .38”

Answer: Offerors shall utilize the minimum bend radii for drawings 7111129 and 7111122 required by Amendment 0002.

2. Offerors may utilize a minimum bend radius of 0.020” in lieu of the 0.008” bend radius shown for drawing 7111129. An updated drawing will not be provided.

3. Offerors may utilize a minimum bend radius of 0.380” in lieu of the 0.100” bend radius shown for drawing 7111122. An updated drawing will not be provided.

4. The Cross Reference Matrix in Section L paragraph 1.13.3 is revised as follows:

From:

Element 1.2 <Provide reference to the page/paragraph in the Offeror’s Proposal>

To:

Element 1.2 <Provide reference to the page/paragraph in the Offeror’s Proposal>

5. The proposal submission deadline is hereby extended to 4:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on 06 February 2024.

Note: Offerors are advised to ensure the proper configuration of their domain settings prior to emailing NSWC PHD. If you are waiting on a response from the Government call Contract Specialist Michael Collazo at (805) 982-0606.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

A total of thirty-two questions were received in reference to N6339424R0002. An answer from NSWC PHD follows below each question.

1. Attachment+J-06+Kit+Content+List for 1THWK-KIT01 shows the Part Number 8749486-01. The Part Number is one part of the 8749486 assembly. Is the intent to provide the entire assembly or only the 8749486-01 piece of the 8749486 assembly?

Answer: The intent is to provide the entire assembly Part Number 8749486. In Amendment 0001 for CLIN 0001, the PN 8749486-01 Management Cable Arm is deleted and the PN 8749486 Cable Management Arm is substituted in lieu thereof. In amendment 0001 for CLIN 0105, the PN 8749486-01 Management Cable Arm is deleted and the PN 8749486 Cable Management Arm is substituted in lieu thereof. Section B, Attachment J-02 Drawing Revision List, Attachment J-04 Offeror Pricing Matrix, and Attachment J-06 Kit Content List are updated accordingly.

2. The following drawings were not provided as part of the TDP. Can the government please provide:

Also see updates to Attachment J-02 Drawing Revision List.

3. 8749558 Find no. 8 requires Part Number 8749503-03. The 8749503 drawing only has a “-01” and “-02” version of the part. Can the government please confirm the intent is that the “-03” call out on the 8749558 is supposed to say “-02”? Note the 8749558 is required on 12 different CLINs.

Answer: Drawing 8749503-03 is mistakenly shown on the parts list. 8749558 Part Number 8749503-03 should be interpreted as 8749503-02. An updated drawing will not be provided.

4. Drawing 8749562 states: “SEE TABLE 2” for length requirements. There is no Table 2 on this drawing. Can the government please provide the table or clarify?

Answer: The required length is 7.0" +/-0.5"

5. From the Solicitation, section 3.4.6. states: “The contractor shall be responsible to manufacture, using design details provided by the Government, the Commercially Available Off-the-shelf (COTS) parts listed below in the event they are not commercially available.” It then goes on to list the following two Part Numbers: SLSATACDADAP & SLIM-7P-ADPT. In anticipation of these parts not being commercially available can the government please provide the design details for these parts in order to gather the costs related to manufacturing the items?

Answer: Drawings 8749368, 8749369 and 8749370, included in Attachment J-01 TDP, contain the design details for this item.

6. From the Solicitation, Item f on page 238 (Section L, 1.7) indicates that all files must be compatible with Microsoft Office 2016 however, Item g on page 239 indicates .pdf as a file extension. Will the Government confirm if files other than spreadsheets can be provided as .pdf documents?

Answer: PDFs are allowable for the submission of documents other than spreadsheets. All PDFs must be searchable.

7. From the Solicitation, Section L instructions (1.8.4) indicate the offeror should include the CAGE Code and DUNS number on proposal covers. Will the Government confirm whether UEI numbers are desired in the place of DUNS, in addition to DUNS, or not at all?

Answer: Please provide the CAGE and DUNS. A UEI number is optional.

8. From the Solicitation, Section L, 1.12.1 and 1.14.1 indicate a "cover letter" to be provided with Volumes II and III. However, Section L, 1.8.1 specifically stipulates that a Letter of Transmittal shall be included with Vol. 1. Does the Government require letters in Volumes II and III, or should Sections 1.12.1 and 1.14.1 indicate "Cover Page" instead of "Cover Letter?

Answer: Sections 1.12.1 and 1.14.1 should indicate "Cover Page" instead of "Cover Letter." See Amendment 0001 detail above.

9. From the Solicitation, Section L, 1.13.3 indicates that offerors must provide a CRM identical to the table provided in the RFP. However, the table does not include all SOW areas. Will the Government confirm that offerors are to include in the CRM table only those SOW areas indicated in the example provided in the RFP?

Answer: Offerors shall use the exact CRM that is included in the RFP.

10. Can you please confirm whether or not there is a central parts list or Bill of Materials (BOM) in .xlsx format for the entire TDP?

Answer: Confirmed. There is no central parts list. The parts lists only exist on the individual drawings themselves.

11. Page 245; Section L 1.15: Does Attachment J-05 Past Performance Information Form count against the page limit for Volume III?

Answer: Each PPIF is limited to 5 pages. The instructional pages (3-4) may be deleted from the PPIF. Information in-excess of the five-page limitation for each PPIF will not be considered. Please see question 13.

12. Page 245; Section L 1.15: Are we allowed to modify fields on the attachment J-05?

Answer: No.

13. Page 245; Section L 1.15: Are additional pages allowed?

Answer: In addition to the first two pages of each PPIF form (Attachment J-05), offerors may submit up to three additional pages per PPIF. A maximum of five pages per PPIF will be considered. A maximum of three PPIF will be considered.

14. Page 245; Section L 1.15: What is the page limit per Past Performance Reference?

Answer: Each PPIF is limited to 5 pages. Up to three PPIF may be submitted.

15. Page 245; Section L 1.15: The instructions on the Past Performance Information form Attachment J-05 instructions state the following: "If the offeror requires additional space to discuss problems and corrective actions, up to three additional pages may be provided for this purpose only." This statement implies that Offerors can have more than the 5 page limit for the past performance volume. Please clarify the limit to the past performance volume and sections.

Answer: Please reference the Government's answers to questions 11 and 13.

16. Page 241; Section L 1.13; Factor 1 states: "The Offeror shall address its ability and approach to perform each of the requirements of the solicitation." Is the offeror expected to address each and every line of the SOW and the solicitation or just the requirements listed in the CRM that start on page 243? There is some confusion between the CRM and the Section L 1.13.

Answer: Each and every line of the SOW does not need to be addressed in a table. The CRM highlights specific items that shall be addressed and the location referenced. The offeror shall review the Evaluation Factors in Section M for guidance on how the Government will evaluate the proposal.

17. Page 144; SOW 3.5.2.4; What operating system (OS) will be used for the functional testing and finished product?

Answer: The specific diagnostic tool is not specified by contract requirements. It is up to the offeror to determine the best tool to verify functionality per requirements. The tool is not a deliverable to the Navy.

18. Page 143; SOW 3.5.1; If material has an excessive long lead time, will the government adjust the delivery date for the first article testing?

Answer: The government will review delivery dates on a case by case basis.

19. Page 141; SOW 3.2.2; If the Government revises the drawings, will the contractor be given the option to update pricing upon a significant TDP/drawing revision?

Answer: Please refer to FAR 52.243-1 Changes--Fixed Price

20. Page 157; Clause C-209-H002; Page 157, clause C-209-H002 states "Any changes to tools, material, or methods after the first article approval shall be documented by the contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer before they are used." If there are changes required and submitted for approval, what is the turnaround time for approval?

Answer: Government approval turnaround time varies and is on a case by case basis.

26. Drawing 8749645 Rev 1 shows the same quantities for items in the -01 and -02 configuration. However, on sheet 3 of 5 it looks like ITEM 18 is only used on the -01 and ITEM 19 is only used on the -02. Also ITEM 31 on the parts list is not called out anywhere in the drawing. Please provide corrected parts list on sheet 1 of DWG 8749645 Rev 1.

30. The Cross-Reference Matrix calls out the following requirement from SOW 3.4.6: 3.4.6. The contractor shall be responsible to manufacture, using design details provided by the Government, the Commercially Available Off-the-shelf (COTS) parts listed below in the event they are not commercially available. The price of items (CLINS 0011-0013, CLINS 0138-0145, and CLIN 0153) which include the listed components shall be computed on the assumption that the items must be manufactured.

3.4.6.1. Part Number: SLSATACDADAP (BACKPLANE, 2-1/2"", SLIMLINE SATA, OPTICAL DRIVE)

3.4.6.2. Part Number: SLIM-7P-ADPT (BACKPLANE, 2-1/2"", SLIMLINE SATA, OPTICAL DRIVE) Proposed Action/Change: It is stated that this requirement is to be referenced in Factor 1, Element 1.2: PHYSICAL ASSETS TO BE USED IN PRODUCTION (Section L.1.13.2). Requesting clarification if this requirement should be referenced in Factor 1, Element 1.1 - PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TDP (Section L.1.13.1) and not in Element 1.2.

Answer: Both elements shall be addressed in the technical volume. Please see the updated CRM in Section L.

31. Drawing 8749339 is missing from the Technical Data Package.

Proposed Action/Change: Request provisioning of Drawing 8749339.

Answer: Please see Question 2.

32. Is our understanding that country-of-origin requirements per section 3.7.1.1 do not apply to fasteners, subcomponents used in cable assemblies and subcomponents used in PCA/CCAs correct?

To clarify the intent of our asked question, it is our understanding that the Government, in requesting the requirement stated in 3.7.1.1, has the intent of tracking country-of-origin for components that could, by being counterfeit (reference SOW 3.1.4, 3.3.2, 3.3.6) or by containing malicious code (SOW 3.6.5), introduce a level of vulnerability into the supply chain. Since the fasteners and subcomponents used in cable and PCA/CCAs cannot introduce a vulnerability into the supply chain due to the lack of software/firmware on these individual items and counterfeit issues are not of concern at this level either, we are proposing that these country-of-origin requirements exclude this level of subcomponent/fasteners as tracking these items does not further the purpose of preventing vulnerability.

Answer: The requirements of 3.7.1.1 do apply to fasteners, subcomponents used in cable assemblies, and subcomponents used in PCA/CCAs.
