The following have been modified:

N68936-18-R-0051, ALQ167 / ULQ24-C RFP Questions and Answers

Q.1. Will the Government provide a digital indentured Bill of Materials (BOM) as part of this Solicitation?

A.1. ATSO will NOT provide a digital indentured BOM.

Q.2. Request the 52.232-16 Alt I Progress Payments (Apr 2012) – Alternate I MAR 2000, as referenced in Section I, be replaced with FAR Clause 52.232-16 PROGRESS PAYMENTS (MAR 2020) (DEVIATION 2020-O0010) in response to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID 19). Per this Class Deviation, the Progress Payment rates at DFARS 232.501-1 are increased to 90% for large business concerns and 95% for small business concerns.

A.2. See change in Section I of the solicitation.

Q.3. Request that SF-33, Block 9 and solicitation Section L, 4.0 be revised to make Proposal Submission an electronic submission, via email or via DoD Safe, due to the uncertain and extended delivery times from shipping companies, including USPS, Fed Ex and UPS, as being experienced in direct response to COVID 19.

A.3. Change was made via solicitation amendment 0001.

Q.4. (a) After a review of the TDP that was provided for Solicitation Number N6893618R0051 for the ALQ-167 Pods and ULQ-24C, it was noted that the SOW, section 2.1.1 and the Stepladder Pricing Matrix call out several part numbers and their drawings which do not appear in the TDP that was downloaded. Is it possible to receive access to the drawings for the following part numbers:

A000013-1, A000013-2, A000013-3, A000013-4, A000013-5, A000013-8, A000013-9, A000013-7, A000013-6, A000013-10, A000014-6, A000014-7, A000015-1, A000015-2, A000016-1, A000016-2, A000016-3, A000016-4, A000016-5, A000016-6

(b) Additionally, we would like to request a Drawing Matrix or Drawing Tree, if available, as that was also not in the TDP that was received.

A.4. (a) The missing drawings are uploaded and attached.

(b) A Drawing tree was not provided as ATSO is not buying a full up system (Weapons Replaceable Assembly – not included), we are only buying the metal work.

Q.5. (a) With regards to Solicitation N68936-18-R-0051, ALQ-167 Pods and ULQ-24Cs, we hereby submit the following additional questions, and requests the proposal date be extended a minimum of three (3) weeks after receipt of ALL requested documentation, to allow sufficient time to evaluate the drawings and price the required material.

(b)

A.5. (a) An extension has been provided. The new proposal due by date is 05 NOV 2020.

(b) The missing/revised drawings are uploaded and attached. New revised drawings provided:

REV A

The drawing was previously corrected on a prior request.

Corrective action: None

This drawing (1611AS5045-[ ]) listed below in the table is using the wrong prefix “1611AS ” should be “ 1236AS “

1236AS5045-[ ] KEEPER, CAPACITOR REV B

Corrective action: None Q.6. I would like to request the following drawings: 1356AS1140, 1611AS17092, 1611AS9629.

A.6. Drawings 1356AS1140, 1611AS17092, 1611AS9629 are uploaded and attached.

Q.7. In addition to the missing drawings and proposal due date extension we requested, we have discovered an additional drawing issue: 1611AS13421 Rev L is missing 1611AS13421-495, 1611AS13421-496, 1611AS13421-497, and 1611AS13421-498. These are necessary to accurate price ELIN B024 and B025. Does the government have an updated 1611AS13421 drawing that includes 1611AS13421-495, 1611AS13421-496, 1611AS13421-497, and 1611AS13421-498?

A.7. The missing drawings are uploaded and attached.

Q.8. With proposals in response Solicitation N68936-18-R-0051, ALQ-167 Pods and ULQ-24Cs, due next Tuesday, October 6, 2020 (Amendment 0002) and still in need of missing drawings requested, will an extension be posted to beta.sam.gov, to allow the Government additional time to procure the missing drawings? In addition to that extension, we still request a minimum of a 3-week extension after receipt of ALL requested documentation. This extension will allow time to review documentation, communicate with OEMs, solicit and refresh/acquire quotes, and then perform an analysis to determine the most favorable pricing for submission in our proposal to the Government.

A.8. An extension has been provided. The new proposal due by date is 05 NOV 2020.

Q.9. I am writing this email to respectfully request at least a 30-day extension to the ALQ/ULQ procurement (N6893618R0051) due date. This contract opportunity is listed in beta.sam.gov as “Inactive” and unfortunately we were unaware the solicitation had been released. Although I have requested, but have not been granted access yet to the drawings and attachments, it is my understanding that there are still some missing drawings. Based on this information, would the Government please consider an extension?

A.9. An extension has been provided. The new proposal due by date is 05 NOV 2020. The inactive status has been fixed.

Q.10. We are working to obtain pricing on the RF Cables under A000016-[ ] under the subject solicitation and have been unable to find the following drawing sheets.

A000016-[ ] Item 31 1611AS13421-497 Item 32 1611AS13421-498 Item 33 1611AS13421-495 Item 34 1611AS13421-496

A.10. The missing drawings are uploaded and attached.

Q.11. (a) In amendment 0004, Parts 1611AS13882-98, 1611AS13882-100, and 1611AS13882-101 require Solid Models for accurate pricing. The drawings of each part documents the government will provide these models. Request the required models be provided. Without these models, accurate pricing of the material is difficult.

(b) Upon a thorough review of Amendment 0004 of RFQ N68936-18-R-0051 and associated drawings, we have confirmed over 200 new items or items with revision changes needing to be repriced. This constitutes a 40% increase in the total items that need priced for the entire RFP. Due to the extensive nature of this task, we request a further extension of 4 additional weeks to 12/03/2020. This additional time will give industry sufficient time to accurately review the drawings and price accordingly. This should provide the government with the most accurate pricing for the RFP and allow the government to select the best value company for award.

A.11. (a) The Solid Models are uploaded and attached.

(b) An extension has been provided. The new proposal due by date is 04 DEC 2020.

Q.12. Amendment 0001, Section L, 2.0 ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL FORMAT states, “Do not submit hardcopy proposals for this solicitation”, but in 3.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND VOLUMES, the table still reflects paper copies required. Request the table be amended as follows:

From:

To:

A.12. The table in Section L, 3.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND VOLUMES has been updated.

Q.13. (a) With regards to the TDP associated with Solicitation Number N6893618R0051 - ALQ-167 Pods and ULQ-24Cs, it was noted that some of the cable assemblies had notes stipulating that the cable assemblies would need to be tested in accordance with the ATP. These were references to the requirement: a) 13672-ATS-ATP-014 (listed on 1611AS13564 drawing) and b) 13672-ATS-ATP-016 (listed on 1611AS10966 drawing. None of the ATP’s are in the TDP package. Could you please provide a copy of the referenced ATPs so that we may scope the level of effort required?

(b) Also, would it be possible to adjust the submission date commensurate with the release of that information?

A.13. (a) The ATPs are uploaded and attached.

(b) An extension has been provided. The new proposal due by date is 07 JAN 2021.

Q.14. Drawing 1611AS17067, Decal, Wolf with sheet and ULQ-24C REV - , Note 3 states “Laser engrave decal indicated below. Please contact ATSO for decal file.” Can the decal file be provided? This file is necessary to accurately quote.
