Q1: CDRLs B016, B017, B018, B019, B020, and B021 refer to Block 4: Technical Manual Contract Requirement (TMCR) No. 13-004 dated 1 February 2013, Section J of Contract. Where is the TMCR or Section J.

A1: Please see attachments 8,9, & 10 on Amended RFP.

Q2: NAVAIR 03-10JA-34-1 (Technical Manual referenced in SOW para 3.9 is missing from RFP; NAVAIR AE-ARSET-MEB-000 (Tehnical Manual Referenced in SOW para 3.7.2 and 3.9); TMCR # 13-004 1 Feb 2013 (reference in CDRLs B016-B021) and SOW para 3.9.2); Appendix (A) (referenced in SOW para 3.7.14, 3.7.21, 3.7.30, 3.7.31). Please note that there is an Appendix A, CDRL List at the end of the SOW, however this Appendix does not seem to be the one referred to in the referenced areas of the SOW.

A2: Please see attachments 8,9, & 10 on Amended RFP.

Q3: Per the RFP Section B, shipping is to be included with CLINs 0001-0004. However, in Section F, delivery can be to various locations within the US including east and west coast locations for domestic as well as east and west coast US locations for FMS. How do you recommend that shipping costs be estimated since the exact delivery address can vary and will not be known until the production phase and specified on individual delivery order? Will each delivery order be for a specific delivery address?

A3: Please propose pricing for each location listed. Once the contract is awarded the delivery order will predicate which location the asset is going to and the approiate shipping cost will be rolled into the CLIN at the delivery order level.

Q4: Regarding the Cross Reference Matrix (CRM) on page 89 of the RFP, there is a column required for Section M - Evaluation Factor. Is the bidder to fill in this column? If that is the case, we will have to take the time to determine which evaluation factos of the Government's RFP apply to what paragraphs of the Government's SOW and Performance Spec. Some of that cross referencing would be subjective as there is not a one-to-one correlation between the Evaluation factors and every single SOW and Spec parahrtaph. Normally in a CRM, the Government provides the bidder's Proposal Reference (paragraph and page number) corresponding to the Government RFP, SOW, and Spec paragrpahs, which is the other data requested in the Government's CRM example on page 89. Please clarify.

A4: This section will be custom fitted to you individual proposal. You will have to marry up the Section L to your proposal, the SOW and Performance Spec, and Section M. It is set up this way to allow you to match the items to your proposal.

Q5: RFP Section 3.0 Proposal Content and Columes requests a technical manual as ANNEX #1; Please clarify what is required for the Annex #1 Tehnical Manual Submittal

A5: This is only an example if you have a Technical Manual you wanted to submit with the Technical Volume and and Price Volumes it would need to follow those guidelines is all that is stating.

Q6: CDRL A009 states that the TDP contents shall be delivered in editable AutoCAD 2014, PTS Creo 3.0, and Microsoft Office 2010 file formats. Will the Goverbment be able to provide efitable Creo models and drawings of the legacy tester TDP?

A6:No the Government does not have original in any of these formats.

Q7: Several SOW paragraphs (fro example 3.7, 3.9.7, 3.3.3.2.4, 3.3.3.2.6) seem to indicate that training shall be provided, but there are no related CDRLs. Please clarify if the Contractor is to provide training materials an/or perform training, and if so whether that training is for operators or maintainers (and if maintainers, for O, I, or D level maintnaiers). If the training is to be provided, what CLIN are those costs associated with?

A7: There is no training to be proposed.
