Updated 11/19/2024 Q: Are there drawings that are available to non-JCP certified entities?

A: No, there are no drawings available for non-JCP entities. Contractors must be JCP certified in order to view the drawings.

Q: As per solicitation N6426724R0031. Is there a letter of authorization available for tooling use?

A: Please reach out to the Contractor listed on the drawings for more information on a letter of authorization for available tooling use.

Q: Drawing 5223259 has two part numbers referenced i.e. 5223259-1 and 5223259-2. Do you want 1138 of each configuration? Typically, the required part number is listed on the solicitation along with the drawing number.

A: The table in Section C paragraph 4.1 has been revised to include the Part Number and NSN number. The RFP close date has also been extended.

Q: Good Morning. I just wanted to reach out to you to see what I need to do to be able to access the drawings for the VLS Resilient Mounts and Shims. The system shows that they are controlled.

Part# 522259_H, 5497176_H and 5497689 Rev C.

I am new to SAMS system so I am trying to understand procedures on how to access files to be able to review for quoting.

A: You must have a SAM.gov account and on the posting you will press “request access”. With that we will check that your company has a Joint Certification Program (JCP) Certification https://www.public.dacs.dla.mil/jcp/ext/#ext/dashboard. You must have an active status within JCP then we (The Government) will grant you access to the drawings that you will be able to via the SAM posting.

Q: We believe that an email from you, directed to us (Black Diamond), confirming that The Naval Surface Warfare Center owns this program and is authorized to buy parts directly from Hutchinson would suffice. We will supply this to Hutchinson for them to send us a quotation.

A: NSWC does not own the VLS Program. If Hutchinson owns the tooling, they should not need our (the Governments) concurrence.
