QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AFTER ISSUANCE OF

1 JUNE 2017 DRAFT SOLICITATION

Question #1:

Can the existing case base and seal be reworked to accommodate the new spring disc design or are we required to replace the case base and seal with a new part?

USG Response #1:

The case base and seals shall be reworked. This is included in the newest revision of the Statement of Work (SOW).

Question #2:

How many cartridge lots will be received? If there is more than one lot included, will re-blending of all the propellant be required or is each propellant lot required to remain separated and the effort will require multiple LATs, one for each propellant lot?

USG Response #2:

Re-blending of the propellant will not be required. The original propellant lot shall be returned to the new suffixed lot.

Question #3:

Should the contractor assume an attrition percentage for ammunition containers for replacement by the contractor, or will the government provide additional containers?

USG Response #3:

It is expected that with a typical cleaning and touch up process, there should be enough containers provided to meet the deliverable requirement.

Question #4:

How will general attrition (example: component parts, projectiles, etc.) be handled? Will the government define an allowable attrition rate in the formal RFP?

USG Response #4:

Yes, attrition will be addressed in the formal RFP.

Question #5:

Should demil of all scrap be proposed?

USG Response #5:

The formal RFP will include demil/disposal requirements.
