The purpose of this amendment is to:

1. Respond to industry submitted questions.

2. Extend the closing date and time of the solicitation.

3. Establish the deadline for Industry Submission of Questions as 2:00 PM EST on 15 April 2020. After this date and time, the Government may not respond to questions received.

Questions and Answers

QUESTION 1: Is this now a formal solicitation or still a pre-solicitation?

ANSWER 1: N66604-20-Q-0845 is a solicitation.

QUESTION 2: Are we allowed to quote "equivalent" or does it have to be exactly the specifications in the drawings? Our proposal would be a mix of your design using our standard product materials.

ANSWER 2: In accordance with the solicitation, quote in accordance with the Build-to-Print drawings. In order to be technically acceptable, a quote must meet or exceed the minimum specifications.

QUESTION 3: Are the stations required to be assembled for shipment? These will be pretty big and 33 will take up a lot of space.

ANSWER 3: In accordance with the solicitation, the Government will be assembling the one 198’ workstation on-site. Please refer to the minimum specifications.

QUESTION 4: Under Section C (Descriptions and Specifications) of the Solicitation, Item 1.0 (Background) states that you require the manufacture and assembly of a custom designed (build-to-print), 198’ long manufacturing station. Item 2.0 (Scope) states that the scope of work is to "Manufacture station legs and surface components for a new 198-foot long towed array manufacturing station." Please confirm how much (or if any) preassembly of components is required prior to shipment. For most cost effective shipment, all items would be shipped in groups by item and unassembled. If there is any preassembly required, please let us know which items should be preassembled prior to shipping.

ANSWER 4: Component 20HBCIP-101 is required to be assembled by the offeror in accordance with the drawing.

The government will be assembling the manufacturing station on-site.

QUESTION 5: Please confirm that the quantity required of Item 5 (P29545-GR Unistrut Bracket) is three (3) per Pedestal Assembly (Item 1 -- 20HBCIP-101). There are (34) Pedestal Assemblies required, which would mean (102) Unistrut Brackets.

ANSWER 5: The minimum specifications have been revised to include specified quantities. Each pedestal assembly (20HBCIP-101) requires six unistrut brackets, which the Government will install at the facility. Please refer to the minimum specifications for details.

QUESTION 6: On Item 2 (20HBCIP-1004 ESD Table Top) is the ESD laminate required only on the top surface or is it required on the edge and/or the bottom surfaces as well? The part drawing does not show the laminate but the overall thickness dimension shown for the Table Top suggests that there is a 1/8" thick laminate applied to the top only of a 1-1/2" thick MDF board.

ANSWER 6: The ESD laminate is required on the top and edge surfaces of item 2 (20HBCIP-1004).

QUESTION 7: What is the desired outer EFD Laminate material and color on the ESD Table Top (Dwg 20HBCIP- 1004)

ANSWER 7: White.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Amendment 002

2. Clarify the closing time of the solicitation.

SECTION A:

1. The required response date/time has changed from 17-Apr-2020 12:00 AM to 17-Apr-2020 02:00 PM..

Questions and Answers

QUESTION 8: Can you please provide me contact info for the manufacturer of the Roller Track. Part # 20384FR- 6.0-72 vendor name Mallard?

ANSWER 8: The Government is unable to provide OEM contact information. Please note that the quoted Roller Track part must be provided on a brand name or equal to basis.

QUESTION 9: I did not see the schedule attached to the solicitation, when is this manufactured item due?

ANSWER 9: This requirement shall be delivered and billed no later than 1 August 2020.

QUESTION 10: Would the item be in knockdown, meaning it would be assembled at the final destination, or would we be responsible for the assembly.

ANSWER 10: Please refer to the questions answered in Amendment 001.

QUESTION 11: There is a discrepancy in the new due date time for bid responses. The required response date and time on page 2 of the Solicitation Amendment is April 17, 2020 12:00 am EDT while the "Updated Response Date" on beta.SAM.gov shows Apr 17, 2020 02:00 pm EDT. Can you confirm which is correct?

ANSWER 11: The solicitation closes Apr 17, 2020 02:00 pm EDT.

Amendment 003

1. Reopen and revise the solicitation.

2. Revise the closing date and time of the solicitation.

SECTION A:

1. The required response date/time has changed from 17-Apr-2020 02:00 PM to 8-May-2020 02:00 PM.

2. Offerors shall provide a technical capability statement detailing a technical approach for the shipping, handling, and installation of ESD and ESD connection points detailed in Drawing WS-4419L. Not to exceed one page.

3. If proposing deviations to the parts list, drawings, or extent of assembly, offerors shall provide a plan to address these and detail cost savings and recommendations within. Not to exceed one page.

4. Offerors may submit past performance references that demonstrate their ability to do the work to specification.

The Government may also use other methods for past performance evaluation where any negative records could potentially find the vendor unawardable. Not to exceed one page.

SECTION E:

1. Insert FAR 46.504 “Certificate of conformance”.

Amendment 004

SECTION A:

QUESTION 12: In Section A.2 of Amendment 003 you are requesting a technical capability statement related to ESD and ESD connection points detailed in Drawing WS-4419L. The only WS-4419L reference that we find in the documentation package is a part number for Item 16 in the Bill of Material on Manufacturing Station Assembly drawing 20HBCIP-102. The WS-4419L part number is for a ESD laminate ground bolt. Can you provide the drawing WS-4419L you referenced that includes information on ESD and ESD connection points?

ANSWER 12: Drawing WS-4419L was erroneously included in Amendment 003. Offerors shall submit the processes the offeror has in place in their facility to maintain the integrity of ESD components including their approach for the shipping, handling, and installation of the connection points.

QUESTION 13: Your answer 4 in Amendment 001 states that the only assembly required by the offeror is for component 20HBCIP-101 and that the Government will be assembling the manufacturing station on-site. We understood that to mean that all of the parts except for component 20HBCIP-101 would ship loose (unassembled).

However, per Section A.2 of Amendment 003 you are requesting a capability statement on a technical approach for installation of ESD and ESD connection points. The only ESD components are the ESD laminated table tops and the WS-4419L ESD laminate ground bolts. Does that mean that offerors are now expected to install Item WS-4419L ESD laminate ground bolts in the ESD Table Tops or do you just want us to provide instructions for the Government to install them? If these bolts must be installed in the table tops prior to shipment it will increase the cost of packing and shipping to insure that the installed bolt ends don't contact and damage any table top surfaces during shipment.

ANSWER 13: In accordance with the solicitation offerors are to provide the Towed Array Manufacturing Station, in accordance with drawing number 20HBCIP-102. The two main portions of the Manufacturing Station, the pedestals and the top of the workstation, would be shipped separate from each other, but fully assembled. The offeror is not expected to ship a 198’ continuous length.

QUESTION 14: Will the government be purchasing other ESD components not specified or included in this Solicitation to make the assembled Manufacturing Station functional and grounded (wrist straps, grounding wires, etc.)?

ANSWER 14: This is outside of the scope of this requirement.
