AMENDMENT 0002

1. The following Performance Specification paragraph has changed:

FROM:

2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

Sections 2.1 and 2.2 list external documents applicable to this specification. This specification takes precedence if a conflict exists between it and any other document specified herein. In those instances within this specification where commercial and military specifications are indicated as "guidance only," the contractor is given latitude in equipment selection, material selection, component selection, etc. This in no way relieves the Contractor from the responsibility of successfully passing the verifications called out in Section 4 of this specification. Military specifications/standards and industry standards identified in this document establish minimum performance requirements. Equivalent or better specifications and standards may be substituted upon approval of the Navy. The current revision and most recent Notice of Change at contract award shall be used unless otherwise stated.

2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

Sections 2.1 and 2.2 list external documents applicable to this specification. This specification takes precedence if a conflict exists between it and any other document specified herein. In those instances within this specification where commercial and military specifications are indicated as "guidance only," the contractor is given latitude in equipment selection, material selection, component selection, etc. Drawings are also provided for guidance only. This in no way relieves the Contractor from the responsibility of successfully passing the verifications called out in Section 4 of this specification. Military specifications/standards and industry standards identified in this document establish minimum performance requirements. Equivalent or better specifications and standards may be substituted upon approval of the Navy. The current revision and most recent Notice of Change at contract award shall be used unless otherwise stated.

2. The following are questions received by this Agency and our answers:

1. Question: Reference: Section I Clause, 52.219-9 Alt II, “Small Business Subcontracting Plan” (OCT 2015) Alternate II OCT2001. The current version of FAR 52.219-9 found at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/vffar1.htm is NOV 2016 and within that clause there is a notation for DoD components to see a deviation clause that is version (DEVIATION 2016-O0009). Please confirm which version of 52.219-9 will apply.

Answer: The updated version of clause 52.219-9 Alt II is hereby incorporated in Section I below. The old version of the clause (52.219-9 Small Business Subcontracting Plan” (OCT 2015) Alternate II OCT2001) has been removed.

2. Question: Reference: 3.2.1.6 Parking Brake [SAH-FCN-0006]

The SAH shall provide a parking brake that simultaneously locks all driven wheels.

“b. Parking Brake Hold on a Slope [SAH-REQ-0012] The parking brake shall be capable of holding the unloaded SAH in place on a 15 degree slope oriented at any direction to the vehicle’s centerline.” Please clarify if the vehicle must be held in lateral direction. For example, the current SD-2 Spotting dolly has casters and in the lateral direction the unpowered wheels would be free to rotate down the incline and therefore not hold the vehicle.

Answer: The parking brake does not need to hold in the lateral direction.

The Performance Specification is revised as follows:

3.2.1.6 Parking Brake [SAH-FCN-0006]

b. Parking Brake Hold on a Slope [SAH-REQ-0012] The parking brake shall be capable of holding the unloaded SAH in place on a 15 degree slope oriented at any direction to the vehicle’s centerline.

3.2.1.6 Parking Brake [SAH-FCN-0006]

b. Parking Brake Hold on a Slope [SAH-REQ-0012] The parking brake shall be capable of holding the unloaded SAH in place on a 15 degree slope oriented in the longitudinal direction to the vehicle’s centerline.

4.2.11 Parking Brake Slope Test [SAH-VR-0008]tc "4.2.11 Parking Brake Slope Test" \f \l3

Verify that the parking brake is capable of holding the unloaded SAH, at max operational weight, stationary on a 15 degree slope in both the longitudinal and lateral directions.

4.2.11 Parking Brake Slope Test [SAH-VR-0008]tc "4.2.11 Parking Brake Slope Test" \f \l3

3. Question: Reference: 3.2.1.7 Steering Control [SAH-FCN-0007]

The SAH shall change directions under the control of the operator.

“c. Turning Radius [SAH-REQ-0017] The SAH shall be designed to have a zero turning radius measured at the center of the attachment point to aircraft’s nose or tail gear. The turning radius shall not deviate more than 3 inches when measured unloaded in both clockwise and counter clockwise rotation.” Please clarify at what height above floor level must the zero turning radius be maintained.

Answer: If the proposed SAH design uses axle pins to lift the aircraft, then the zero turning radius shall be maintained at 13 inches above the deck. If the proposed SAH design uses a different method of lifting aircraft, then the zero turning radius shall be maintained at 2 inches above the deck.

4.2.15 Turning Radius Test [SAH-VR-0013]tc "4.2.15 Turning Radius Test" \f \l3

The SAH shall be tuned in the tightest circle possible about the center of its aircraft engagement mechanism and the turning radius, measured both clockwise and counter clockwise. The turning radius shall not deviate more than 3 inches when measured unloaded in both clockwise and counter clockwise rotation.

If the offeror is submitting an individual contract plan, the plan must separately address subcontracting with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns, with a separate part for the basic contract and separate parts for each option (if any). The plan shall be included in and made a part of the resultant contract. The subcontracting plan shall be negotiated within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to submit and negotiate a subcontracting plan shall make the offeror ineligible for award of a contract.

(d) The offeror’s subcontracting plan shall include the following:

(1) Goals, expressed in terms of percentages of total planned subcontracting dollars, for the use of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns as subcontractors.

(e) In order to effectively implement this plan to the extent consistent with efficient contract performance, the Contractor shall perform the following functions:

(1) Assist small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns by arranging solicitations, time for the preparation of bids, quantities, specifications, and delivery schedules so as to facilitate the participation by such concerns. Where the Contractor’s lists of potential small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business subcontractors are excessively long, reasonable effort shall be made to give all such small business concerns an opportunity to compete over a period of time.

(2) Provide adequate and timely consideration of the potentialities of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns in all “make-or-buy” decisions.

(3) Counsel and discuss subcontracting opportunities with representatives of small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business firms.

(4) Confirm that a subcontractor representing itself as a HUBZone small business concern is identified as a certified HUBZone small business concern by accessing the SAM database or by contacting SBA.

(5) Provide notice to subcontractors concerning penalties and remedies for misrepresentations of business status as small, veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, or women-owned small business for the purpose of obtaining a subcontract that is to be included as part or all of a goal contained in the Contractor’s subcontracting plan.

(6) For all competitive subcontracts over the simplified acquisition threshold in which a small business concern received a small business preference, upon determination of the successful subcontract offeror, the Contractor must inform each unsuccessful small business subcontract offeror in writing of the name and location of the apparent successful offeror prior to award of the contract.

(f) A master plan on a plant or division-wide basis that contains all the elements required by paragraph (d) of this clause, except goals, may be incorporated by reference as a part of the subcontracting plan required of the offeror by this clause; provided—

(1) The master plan has been approved;

(2) The offeror ensures that the master plan is updated as necessary and provides copies of the approved master plan, including evidence of its approval, to the Contracting Officer; and

(3) Goals and any deviations from the master plan deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer to satisfy the requirements of this contract are set forth in the individual subcontracting plan.

(g) A commercial plan is the preferred type of subcontracting plan for contractors furnishing commercial items. The commercial plan shall relate to the offeror’s planned subcontracting generally, for both commercial and Government business, rather than solely to the Government contract. Once the Contractor’s commercial plan has been approved, the Government will not require another subcontracting plan from the same Contractor while the plan remains in effect, as long as the product or service being provided by the Contractor continues to meet the definition of a commercial item. A Contractor with a commercial plan shall comply with the reporting requirements stated in paragraph (d)(10) of this clause by submitting one SSR in eSRS for all contracts covered by its commercial plan. This report shall be acknowledged or rejected in eSRS by the Contracting Officer who approved the plan. This report shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of the Government’s fiscal year.

(h) Prior compliance of the offeror with other such subcontracting plans under previous contracts will be considered by the Contracting Officer in determining the responsibility of the offeror for award of the contract.

(i) A contract may have no more than one plan. When a modification meets the criteria in 19.702 for a plan, or an option is exercised, the goals associated with the modification or option shall be added to those in the existing subcontract plan.

(j) Subcontracting plans are not required from subcontractors when the prime contract contains the clause at 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders—Commercial Items, or when the subcontractor provides a commercial item subject to the clause at 52.244-6, Subcontracts for Commercial Items, under a prime contract.

(k) The failure of the Contractor or subcontractor to comply in good faith with—

(1) The clause of this contract entitled “Utilization Of Small Business Concerns;” or

(2) An approved plan required by this clause, shall be a material breach of the contract.

(l) The Contractor shall submit ISRs and SSRs using the web-based eSRS at http://www.esrs.gov. Purchases from a corporation, company, or subdivision that is an affiliate of the prime Contractor or subcontractor are not included in these reports. Subcontract award data reported by prime Contractors and subcontractors shall be limited to awards made to their immediate next-tier subcontractors. Credit cannot be taken for awards made to lower tier subcontractors, unless the Contractor or subcontractor has been designated to receive a small business or small disadvantaged business credit from an ANC or Indian Tribe. Only subcontracts involving performance in the United States or its outlying areas should be included in these reports.

(1) ISR. This report is not required for commercial plans. The report is required for each contract containing an individual subcontract plan.

(i) The report shall be submitted semi-annually during contract performance for the periods ending March 31 and September 30. A report is also required for each contract within 30 days of contract completion. Reports are due 30 days after the close of each reporting period, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. Reports are required when due, regardless of whether there has been any subcontracting activity since the inception of the contract or the previous reporting period.

(ii) When a subcontracting plan contains separate goals for the basic contract and each option, as prescribed by FAR 19.704(c), the dollar goal inserted on this report shall be the sum of the base period through the current option; for example, for a report submitted after the second option is exercised, the dollar goal would be the sum of the goals for the basic contract, the first option, and the second option.

(iii) The authority to acknowledge receipt or reject the ISR resides—

(A) In the case of the prime Contractor, with the Contracting Officer; and

(B) In the case of a subcontract with a subcontracting plan, with the entity that awarded the subcontract.

(2) SSR.

(i) Reports submitted under individual contract plans—

(A) This report encompasses all subcontracting under prime contracts and subcontracts with the awarding agency, regardless of the dollar value of the subcontracts.

(B) The report may be submitted on a corporate, company or subdivision (e.g. plant or division operating as a separate profit center) basis.

(C) If a prime Contractor and/or subcontractor is performing work for more than one executive agency, a separate report shall be submitted to each executive agency covering only that agency’s contracts, provided at least one of that agency’s contracts is over $700,000 (over $1.5 million for construction of a public facility) and contains a subcontracting plan. For DoD, a consolidated report shall be submitted for all contracts awarded by military departments/agencies and/or subcontracts awarded by DoD prime Contractors.

(D) The consolidated SSR shall be submitted annually for the twelve month period ending September 30. The report is due 30 days after the close of each reporting period.

(E) Subcontract awards that are related to work for more than one executive agency shall be appropriately allocated.

(F) The authority to acknowledge or reject SSRs in eSRS, including SSRs submitted by subcontractors with subcontracting plans, resides with the Government agency awarding the prime contracts unless stated otherwise in the contract.

(ii) Reports submitted under a commercial plan—

(A) The report shall include all subcontract awards under the commercial plan in effect during the Government’s fiscal year.

(B) The report shall be submitted annually, within thirty days after the end of the Government’s fiscal year.

(C) If a Contractor has a commercial plan and is performing work for more than one executive agency, the Contractor shall specify the percentage of dollars attributable to each agency from which contracts for commercial items were received.

(D) The authority to acknowledge or reject SSRs for commercial plans resides with the Contracting Officer who approved the commercial plan.
