Q and A Cable Assembly.docx

This is a Question and Answers document addressing clarifications on test requirements and component part numbers for a Cable Assembly procurement under the BOAST (Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track) program. The Q&A confirms that testing requirements are specified in Drawing DR_12992565_19200_B_001_001.PDF notes 10 and 11, which reference SC_SA15110 "Product Fabrication Specification" and NC_ATPD 2167_19207 "Environmental Test Methods." Vendors must complete all fabrication and testing requirements, document results, and submit a First Article Test Report (FATR) to usarmy.ria.devcom-ac.mbx.rdar-qep@army.mil. Additionally, the document clarifies a parts list discrepancy on Drawing DR_12570413_19207_C_001_001.PDF, confirming that the correct TE Connectivity part number is 234A011-25-0, replacing the obsolete part number 234A011-25-00-0 listed on the drawing, with the drawing to be updated by Engineering Change Proposal (ECP).

The underlying BOAST RFOP procurement is for 81 units (increased from the original 20 units) of Cable Assembly with NSN 6150-01-578-0469 (Part Number 12992565) under a Firm-Fixed-Price order issued by Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal. The requirement is subject to export control with access restricted to vendors certified in the Joint Certification Program (JCP). Award eligibility requires vendors to maintain an active, fully executed BOAST BOA by the closing date, and all proposals must be submitted in accordance with evaluation criteria specified in the BOAST RFOP document.
