About this file
This document is a list of 15 targeted questions for 8(a) Small Businesses related to a potential reverse engineering contract opportunity with the Department of Defense (DoD). The questions probe the technical capabilities of small businesses in areas such as reverse engineering aircraft parts, prototype manufacturing, technical documentation, testing capabilities, and advanced technological competencies.
Key capabilities being assessed include: ability to reverse engineer and manufacture aircraft parts, create Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings, develop Technical Data Packages (TDP), provide Administrative & Advisory Services, utilize emerging technologies like AI and machine learning, access 3D printing resources, travel to DoD repair facilities, create project management presentations, perform light repairs, and conduct foundry work. The questions suggest the DoD is seeking flexible, technologically advanced small businesses with comprehensive engineering and manufacturing capabilities to address supply chain challenges and improve weapon system readiness.

Questions for 8(a) Small Businesses:
1. Is your company able to reverse engineer aircraft parts?
2. Can you demonstrate previous success reverse engineering parts?
3. If candidate parts cannot be provided timely to get you started, would you be able to purchase DoD parts from a surplus source and build that cost into your proposal?
4. What is your notable past performance in doing reverse engineering of parts?
5. Are you then able to manufacture prototypes for testing with the capability to prove the design meets applicable test requirements that you will be provided by DoD engineers?
6. Does your company have testing capability for items to prove out design and internal workings?
7. Can you write repair or manufacturing instructions, Computer Aided Design (CAD) draw, and deliver complete new Technical Data Packages (TDP) to the DoD?
8. Does your company provide Administrative & Advisory Services (A&AS) at a task order level when contract engineering is needed?
9. Does your company utilize software solutions such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), new technologies, and/or machine learning (ML) to provide data science, data analysis, and software code as decision making tools?
10. Do you want to explain examples of poor past performance on specific contract deliverables to government agencies?
11. Does your company own or have access to 3-Dimensional Printers that would aid you to produce representative parts that can be additive manufactured?
12. Are your personnel able to travel and gain access through DoD required Pass & ID to DoD repair depots or bases in the United States to meet with shop and cognizant engineers?
13. Are you able to provide Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for meetings with DoD customers with embedded Microsoft Project schedules for making milestones such as Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Manufacture of Prototypes, and Testing?
14. Are you able to provide light repair of non-complex parts?
15. Is your company able to do foundry work, such as castings and housings?
