INDUSTRY QUESTIONS

1. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; what aircraft have recently been used as part of ESSM testing, and in what phases?

Answer: The Raytheon Convair aircraft is being used to support the ESSM Block 2 Captive Carry tests for Engineering and Manufacturing Development.

2. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; Has SDTS been used in ESSM testing, and in what phase?

Answer: The Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS) was used for the ESSM Block 1 E&MD, Demonstration Test/ Operational Testing (DT/OT), and Follow-On Test & Evaluation (FOT&E) test phases. The SDTS will also be used for ESSM Block 2 E&MD, and DT/OT test phases.

3. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; in the Technical Sample Task, reference is made for a trip to Portsmouth, VA. Did the government intend for this to be Portsmouth, RI? If this is a trip to Portsmouth, VA, is this a required trip to Raytheon? Please Clarify.

Answer: The Government intended this to be RIDS at Portsmouth, RI.

4. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; the Labor mix stated in the sample task calls for a mix of 5 Engineer Scientists and one Technician. If the offeror believes the effort can be completed with different labor mix, will the government accept a justification and rational for the deviation/recommendation? Is this labor mix based on historical tasking of the labor categories mentioned, or a level of competence desired by the government?

Answer: The Government will consider a different labor mix if so proposed with rationale. This labor mix is based upon both the historical tasking and the desired level of competence.

5. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; does the government intend for the ESSM Mod to focus on air launched offensive Anti Surface Warfare (OASuW)?” consider “Clarify the roles and relationships of ESSM with regard to OASuW?”

Answer: OASuW is a very limited subset of the operational requirements for the ESSM. Paragraph 3.1.4 should have referenced support for the ESSM Technical Program Office (TPO).

6. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; is the target set both for Land Based and Sea based?

Answer: The ESSM target set could be either Land Based or Sea based.

7. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; is the T&E effort support a demonstration program with a transition to a full Program of Record? (PoR)

Answer: There are Test and Evaluation activities ongoing for both the fielded ESSM Block 1 missile, and the ESSM Block 2 in E&MD.

8. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; one of the reference documents is a training plan, so is the government expecting offerors to review this sample training plan for completeness and make recommendations for that plan, or is the government expecting a full training plan to be developed by the offeror.

Answer: The Government expects that the awardee of the contract may be given tasking to develop and/or aid in the development of training plans / classes.

9. Question: For the Technical Sample Task; are the trips to various facilities (Tyndall, Portsmouth, and Tucson) for meetings with the Manufacturer, or for Test events? Or, are the trips for both meetings and test events?

Answer: The trips can be for either engineering interchange meetings, or to support test events.
