I. SOLICITATION/GENERAL

Question 1. Solicitation. We noticed there is no quantity variance referenced. To confirm, the contractor must deliver this in exact quantities, correct?

Answer 1. Yes, the quantities stated in Attachment 6 – Schedule of Supplies are the exact quantities required.

Question 2. Solicitation Pages 1 and 2. The delivery schedule is 30 days ARO. Will this be 30 days after approval of samples, or after receipt of order? With 25 days taken up with sample approval, that leaves 5 days for production and delivery of the balance of the five SPI items.

Answer 2. The 30 delivery schedule will start after approval of the samples.

Question 3. Solicitation Page 2. Can you clarify which containers require samples on the five SPIs? Is it only the outer containers, or is it all required components? (For example, do you need the fabricated brackets in Attachment 5 for the approval?)

Answer 3. Samples are required for all five SPIs, including all required components.

Question 4. The schedule of services lists the SPI to be quoted but doesn’t list the Steps required. Will all steps be required or can we quote only the items that we normally supply? For example, all items shown as “As Required” would not be included in our quote.

Answer 4. The contractor is only required to fabricate the container.

Question 5. Solicitation, Note 15 on Page 3, Requirement for Pallets. This note calls out must be shipped on serviceable, winged pallets. Some of the SPIs are wooden crate SPIs. Would these have to be shipped on the pallets, as well?

Answer 5. The only SPI that is required to be shipped on a pallet is AK15592715.

II. ATTACHMENTS 1 – 5

Question 1. Are all container size specifications inside dimensions?

Answer 1. Yes.

III. ATTACHMENT 1 (AK12035746)

Question 1. 1B, 2C, and 3D have no quantity requirement on page 1. Does that indicate the Government intends to supply these in the packaging process, or do you need the contractor to determine the quantity required and include it in our offer / solution?

Answer 1. The Government will supply during the packing process

Question 2. Will the packing requirement be Level A or Level B?

Answer 2. Level A

Question 3. The quantity required for 4E is indicated as 4. Is this 4 each of A, B, C, and D – or does it mean 1 each of them (so 4 total)?

Answer 4. The Government will supply during the packing process

IV. ATTACHMENT 2 (AK15592715)

Question 1. Item 7 references grade V13C. Is this supposed to be V3c?

Answer 1. No, the correct grade is V13C.

Question 2. No quantity is required for 1B, 5E, and 8E. Does that indicate no support is needed from the contractor?

Answer 2. No support is required from the contractor. The Government will supply during the packing process.

Question 3. Just to confirm, the packing level is B?

Answer 3. The level of packing is A.

Question 4. Do you require 3D to come to Government fully assembled and glued (see bottom right corner of page 9 and 10), or should Item IDs A-M arrive individually for Government to use in the packaging process?

Answer 4. The Government will supply during the packing process

Question 5. Step 6 calls for Mil-DTL-117, Style1, Type II, Class E. Mil-DTL-117, TYII, CLE, STY1 was canceled/discontinued by the military (material spec MIL-PRF-131K Class II.). Alternatively, we have the kraft foil material available unprinted, but it will not meet the MIL-Spec. Let me know how you wish to proceed.

Answer 5. The Government will supply during the packing process

V. ATTACHMENT 3 (AK16267876)

Question 1. Which items do you require the contractor to supply? Our interpretation is this is only the items described in C.1, D.1, and E.5, E.7, E.8, E.9, and E.10.

Answer 1. Just the shipping container.

Question 2. E.5 requires wrap. Does the Government require the contractor to supply the wrap? If so, what quantity?

Answer 2. No, the Government will supply the wrap.

Question 3. E.7 requires cushioning, sufficient to completely cover the transmission. What is the size of the transmission, and does the cushioning need to cover all sides?

Answer 3. Not Required. The Government will supply the cushioning during the packing process.

Question 4. E.9 requires paper large enough to prevent the envelope from coming in direct contact with the container base. Can you elaborate on this or show a picture or drawing of the assembled container?

Answer 4. Not Required

Question 5. E.10. requires a wood box, Class 2, Style 2, IAW ASTM-D6880. What is the size for the box and what type of material do you require? What is the maximum contents weight in pounds?

Answer 5. We only require the shipping container. Dimensions and type of material are stated in the SPI.

VI. ATTACHMENT 4 (AK16332049)

Question 1. Do you require the contractor to provide 1-B-D, 2-C, and 4? These have A/R quantities.

Answer 1. No, The Government will supply during the pack process.

Question 2. Regarding 3-E: do you have a preference on Group I or Group II, or is that for the contractor to determine?

Answer 2. Group I

VII. ATTACHMENT 5 (AK16759556)

Question 1. Do you require the contractor to provide 1-B, 2-C, and 5-F?

Answer 1. No, the Government will supply during the pack process”

Question 2. Steps 8-I. The parts list, 8-I is calling for a Mil-DTL-6060E envelope. There is not a Note for 8-I and I don’t see item 8 called out. What is the size?

Answer 2. Not required, the Government will supply during the pack process

Question 3. Will the government provide page 6 of Attachment 5? This page appears to be missing from the attachment.

Answer 3. Yes, a new copy of SPI attached with all pages.

Question 4. Pages 2, 4 and 6 are missing. Can the government provide these pages?

Answer 4. Yes, a new copy of SPI attached with all pages.

Question 5. Can the government identify if this is a metal container or wood?

Answer 5. The container is a wood box.

Question 6. In the description it says Brackets shall be fabricated from commercial plate steel and are welded. Our assumption is that this particular box is steel, but we need the missing pages for confirmation and to account for all instructions and items required.

Answer 6. Missing pages added in the attachment and again, this is a wood box.

VIII. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Question 1. Are we responsible for just building the crates for each CLIN and providing the necessary cushioning?

Answer 1. The contractor is responsible for building the crates. The Government will supply the cushioning during the packing process.

Question 2. Would we be receiving the items to be placed in the crates?

Answer 2. No.

Question 3.Would a 90 day delivery schedule be acceptable? This is due to the amount of time it would take to get the necessary cushioning materials in, in-order to fabricate the components.

Answer 3. Delivery is 30 days after receipt of order. The contractor is not responsible for the cushioning material.
