About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document for Solicitation N6449826R0012, the Balance Arbor IDIQ RFP issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD). The document addresses two contractor inquiries regarding hardware specifications and crate design requirements for the Balance Arbor project.
The first Q&A clarifies that commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) products such as screws from vendors like McMaster Carr are acceptable for hub hardware items, provided vendors supply certificates of compliance attesting that items are free from imperfections and material issues and meet drawing specifications. The second Q&A confirms that updated drawings for NAVSEA 245-9003483 REV [A] and NAVSEA 245-9003484 REV [A] now include previously missing pages detailing additional boxes required for storing mounting hardware during final delivery, eliminating the need for contractors to develop separate storage instructions. No pricing information, response deadlines, or other contract terms are addressed in this attachment.

Solicitation N6449826R0012 Attachment 3 Balance Arbor RFP - N6449826R0012 Questions and Answers
Below are answers to questions received under this Solicitation:
Question 1: The drawings are not clear regarding some of the hardware items for the hubs, such as the screws. Shall we assume that these items can be commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) products, or will we be required to provide full material certifications and inspection reports for these?
Answer 1: These can be COTS products (e.g. McMaster Carr), however there should be a certificate of compliance from the vendor to attest that they are free from imperfections/material issues and meet the requirements of the drawing.
Question 2: After reviewing the drawings, I noticed that the crate drawings do not include additional boxes for storing the mounting hardware. If we are not required to supply the additional boxes, will there be instructions for how the mounting hardware should be stored for final delivery?
Answer 2: Drawings NAVSEA 245- 9003483 REV [A] and NAVSEA 245- 9003484 REV [A] were missing the pages related to the additional boxes. These drawings have been updated to include the missing pages.
