This solicitation is for engineering, production, installation, and operation and maintenance services to sustain U.S. and Allied Navy Training and Test and Evaluation (T&E) Ranges around the world. It will be awarded as a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Cost Reimbursement (CR), Firm Fixed Price (FFP), and Not Separately Priced (NSP) contract line items. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 541330 - Engineering Services, with a small business size standard of $47,000,000.00.

NUWCDIVNPT Solicitation # N6660424R0249 Questions and Answers 07 June 2024

Question 1:Can the Government please clarify which SOW tasks will be on a LOE basis?
Answer 1:CLIN 0004 for SOW task 4.5 is the only anticipated level of effort, severable type tasking that will be issued under this contract. All other CLINs and associated task orders will be issued on a completion type (non-severable) basis. Note that the applicability of Clause B-232-H003 Payment of Fee (s) (Completion) (NAVSEA) will be updated in a forthcoming amendment to remove CLIN 0004 from the list. The correct applicability for B-232-H003 is CLINs 0003, 0005, and 0006.
Question 2:In “Exhibit B-ELINS.xlsx” tab labeled “Fiber Optic”, 20 unique part numbers are listed, requested to be priced in quantities of “20-50KM” and “50.1-175KM”. Only 3 of those part numbers appear to cable, PN 114226, PN 114227, PN 111624. The other part numbers are not cable, but assemblies. For all parts that are not cable, contractor requests direction from government to clarify the units of measure of the remaining parts.
Answer 2:Part numbers 114226, 114227, 111335, and 111624 are all cables. The other items listed in the Exhibit B ELIN Spreadsheet are subassemblies - either supporting the cable, supporting termination between units and assemblies, or supporting range functionality (and are therefore built into or onto the cable as described below). Solicitation Sections L and M and Exhibit B ELIN Spreadsheet will be revised in a forthcoming amendment to adjust the ELIN numbering, quantities, and evaluation calculation for the fiber optic cables and cable subassemblies.
Question 3:Regarding pricing information requested in CLIN 0002 (Range Hardware CCAs and Fiber Optic Cables) the contractor assumes that each of the line items needs to be a standalone order. Although we acknowledge the “Special notes for Non Recurring Engineering” in the “Exhibit B-ELINS.xls” file, there is no associated direction in the SOW for the NRE or Level of Effort (LOE), such as PMO, associated with CLIN 0002. All SOW information with regards to Non Recurring Engineering is requested in SOW section 4.1-4.4 and 4.6-4.7, associated with CLIN 0003, Engineering Services. Many of the CCA part numbers identified have drawings that are several years old and are likely to have obsolete components. Contractor’s assumption without further government direction will be that for every CLIN 0002 task order let, an accompanied a task order on CLIN 0003 for NRE and LOE request for proposal will be generated and executed.
Answer 3:The contractor’s assumption that each line item needs to be a standalone order is incorrect. The contractor shall provide FFP pricing for all parts in the ELIN spreadsheet, including all costs of production in accordance with the applicable drawings. The Government will not be issuing separate, accompanying orders for NRE or LOE associated with the production of the parts listed in the Exhibit B under CLIN 0002. The ELIN Spreadsheet (Exhibit B) will be revised in a forthcoming amendment to remove the Special Notes column to prevent confusion.
