About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a federal solicitation for Minuteman missile cable assemblies. The solicitation is for 15 national stock numbers and seeks cable assemblies to support the Minuteman missile system. Technical data packages are provided for each national stock number in separate zip files due to file size limitations. Questions covered include availability of custom connector parts, missing drawings, and acceptable solder specifications. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is the contracting agency, and the opportunity is open only to small businesses. The response date is not provided but questions were received through mid-April 2023.

Questions related to SPRHA2‐23‐R‐0271 3/27/23
Q: Is there supplier for these parts?
RFE23050498‐001 Adapter Connector (Top Dwg: NSN: 5995‐01‐685‐2681) RFE23050497‐001 Adapter, IFD, Backshell (Top Dwg: NSN: 5995‐01‐685‐0827)
A: Both parts mentioned are custom machined parts. The dimensions and raw material are all included on the drawing. Any vendor looking to manufacture the cable will need to get a quote for these items from a machine shop so that the vendor can then use the parts for the cables.
4/3/23
Q: Drawing 23035592 is missing
A: The drawing in question, 23035592, is a Lockheed Martin drawing. There is also a comparable
Sunbank process drawing P.S.04M00018 that should be the same thing. We have spoken to both
Sunbank and Lockheed and they are unable to give us access to this drawing. The drawing is proprietary and cannot be shared with the AF. Lockheed informed us that in the past they have purchased the full assembly, RFE23050499, directly from Sunbank. We would suggest this route for any vendor looking to build these cables for us. The different cables all use different configurations of RFE23050499 (i.e.
RFE23050499‐513 and RFE23050499‐521).
4/6/23
Q: The zip file for line 0015 contains DWG RFE23050526 (W7026), not RFE23050533‐502.
A: RFE23050533‐502 attached to solicitation announcement.
4/17/23
Q: No statement of length tolerances for the cable legs or overall cable lengths.
A: Each cable drawing has a reference to drawing RFE23050010 in NOTE 4. This drawing should give the length tolerances, but it says the length tolerances are “per the associated drawing”, which does not have a length tolerance. The length of the cables are based on the items called out that make up the cable. All of the connectors and conduit have set lengths based on their given design. The conduit drawings have lengths and tolerances and the connectors have lengths set by the manufacturer. So, the overall length of the cable should be based on the items called out. Some items have length tolerances given in their respective drawings and some item’s length are set by the manufacturer. As long as the vendor follows the assembly as shown, the length will be set by the sub components design and length and the tolerances of conduits between the sub components.

Questions related to SPRHA2‐23‐R‐0271 4/20/23
Q: Exception to SN60WRMAP2 solder. Based on information reviewed, we have determined the solder is a 61.5% (Tin) & 37.53% (Lead). Use a 60% (Tin) & 40%(Lead). The 60/40 solder meets QQ‐S‐571.
A: There are alternatives listed for all the NSNs. The alternates vary by part number but include both
SN63WRMAP3 and SN63WRMAP2 which are both readily available for purchase.
