1. Is shielding is required for all cables?

A) Yes. All cables must meet the shielding requirements of specification drawing A3014056.

2. The BOM calls out 2" Heat Shink Labels, B000ANFYE4, under required parts the assembly instructions calls out 8" Heat Shrink Labels (Need Clarification on which is needed)

A) Assembly instructions are unavailable.

3. Under required parts on the assembly instructions it call out 100 Ohm @ 100MHz Ferrite Cores these are not on the BOM. (Need Clarification if it is needed)

A) Assembly instructions are unavailable.

4. Under required parts on the assembly instructions it call out 2 Ft. of adhesive heat shrink with not size but it also is not on the BOM. (Need Clarification if it is needed)

A) Assembly instructions are unavailable.

5. If the intent is to assemble the at the Enclosure Assembly, the DP-270 Potting Epoxy is not on the BOM but is on the Enclosure Assembly list on page 13 of 16. (Need Clarification if it is needed)

A) Assembly instructions are unavailable.

6. Is there a temp/voltage rating for the wire on the BOMs for each of the cables? Or a Part Number for the wires? Example: M22759/XX-20-9 XX = temp 20=gauge 9=color?

A) Wire shall meet the requirements of SAE-AS22759/16 or MIL-W-81044/12 in accordance with specification drawing A3014056, Section 3.1.1.

7. What is the PN for the 90* Backshell for the A3014035 Cable Assembly?

A) MS3476W10-6P

8. In the assembly instructions at step 23 there is a cable introduced (PRC999K crypto cable) that is not in the BOM. Will this be GFE or does this need to be made/ procured by MTEQ? If so we are in need of a Part number or cable drawing.

A) Assembly instructions and cable drawing are unavailable. The cable part number is unknown.

9. The section in the solicitation entitled "DLAD PROC NOTE H03 Supplemental First Article Testing Requirements (OCT 2016)" page 64, paragraph 4(a) states "(4) Waivers. The contractor may submit a request for FAT waiver to the contracting officer. The Government reserves the right to waive the FAT requirement when all the following criteria are met: (a) Source has manufactured and delivered the product or similar product within the last five (5) years, or within the last three (3) years for critical safety items." Drawing A3014056, CABLE SPECIFICATION, SINCGARS INSTALLATION KITS, section 4, requires requalification testing that is essentially the same as First Article testing, after a one (1) year break in production.

Does the requalification testing required in A3014056 fall under the first article requirements in terms of schedule and delivery for the production CLINs and associated first article CDRLs?

A) No. Product that is subjected to requalification testing does not count as product delivered under a Government contract for the purpose of determining whether a FAT waiver may be granted

10. The CX-XXXXX drawings are essentially envelope drawings with some of the parts (i.e. transitions, cable, shielding, wiring, etc.) not defined by part number on the drawing but generally described in the A3014056 Cable Specification, SINCGARS Installation Kits. As part of the bid and proposal process, we have defined specific parts that we believe will perform and conform to the A3014056 requirements. Is it expected that actual part numbers to be used in production for these undefined parts will be added after contract award under the PE CDRL CLIN B004 or will these be processed under normal ECPs with any associated costs proposed at that time?

A) The actual part numbers shall be submitted to the Government under PE

CDRL CLIN B004.
