Solicitation: N68335-19-R-0202

Questions and answers:

• Question 1: Based on paragraph 2.9 of the specification, it appears that the cooling approach is liquid-to-liquid (vs. a liquid-to-air system) , but it’s not 100% clear. Please clarify, or indicate whether or not it’s up to the supplier to choose an approach.

Government Response: The cooling approach must be liquid-to-liquid. The same paragraph described in

Paragraph 2.9 of the specification should be used as guidance for the water purity that will be used as a cooling medium for the system.

• Question 2: If a liquid-to-liquid system is in fact being specified, please indicate the temperature and flow rate of the ship-supplied water.

Government Response: This information is contained in paragraphs 1.1.1; 1.1.3; 1.2.1; 1.2.3; 1.3.1; 1.3.3 of the specification document.

• Question 3: Dimensional limitations are not described in the specification. Please specify them.

Government Response: The minimization of size, weight and power is a benefit to the Navy as the installation space is yet to be identified.

• Question 4: Please clarify the term “hatchable” in paragraph 2.11.

Government Response: Hatchable means the system can be transported in components that fit within the size specifications of US Navy aircraft carrier and amphibious assault ship hatches, i.e. no holes need to be cut in the ship to install or remove this equipment.
