*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

1. The purpose of this Amendment 0006 to Solicitation W52P1J-17-R-0006 is to provide Government responses to Contractor questions regarding various requirements contained in the subject Solicitation. These are above and beyond the questions and answers provided in

Amendments 0002 and 0005.

2. The Contractor questions (Q) and Government responses (R) are outlined below and relate to Technical.

3. Technical Questions ___________________

Q: The First Article Test (FAT) requirement for the M172 Inert acquisition consists of five (5) component FATs to include Cartridge, Link, Bandoleer, Ammunition Can, and Wirebound Box. The Government has already stated in Amendment 0002 of the subject Solicitation that previously approved FATs cannot be rolled-over from other Government contracts to the subject acquisition. Would the Government consider breaking out the five (5) component FATs so that if any of the component FATs could eventually be waived, it is easier to remove the cost associated with the waived component FAT?

R: The Offeror shall propose the costs for all component level First Article Tests (FATs) by completing the attached spreadsheet

(incorporated as Solicitation Attachment 0006, Proposal First Article Price Matrix, dated March 23, 2017). There are five (5) component ___________________________________ level FATs listed to include Cartridge, Link, Bandoleer, Ammunition Can, and Wirebound Box). The total price for all component level

FATs shall equal the total FAT price in both Attachment 0006 and CLIN 0001 in Section B. The Offeror shall not assume a waiver will be granted for any of the five (5) component level FATs. The total evaluated price for the Government evaluation will remain the total FAT price entered for CLIN 0001 in Section B (which should match the total FAT price in Attachment 0006) and the extended unit price for

CLIN 0002 (proposed unit price multiplied by quantity of 200,000 EA). However, the Government, at their discretion, may waive any of the five (5) component level FATs and award the required FATs as priced in Attachment 0006.

Section L under Volume II - Price Factor (page 61 of 68): Paragraph a. is hereby revised to include submission of Attachment 0006 above for the breakdown of the CLIN 0001 FAT cost. Section B CLIN 0001 has also been updated to reference Attachment 0006 as part of the CLIN

0001 unit price submission.

Q: Is the Government aware of any issues/concerns with Black Oxide scratching off?

R: The Government is not aware of any issues/concerns with Black Oxide scratching off during the manufacturing process.

4. All other terms and conditions of Solicitation W52P1J-17-R-0006 remain unchanged.

5. There is no change to the proposal receipt date/time as a result of this Amendment 0006. (NOTE: Amendment 0005 inadvertently referred to Amendment 0002 for this particular statement about no change to proposal receipt date/time. Amendment 0005 should have been referenced instead).

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

FACTORS AND SUBFACTORS TO BE EVALUATED______________________________________

The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection determination will be based on an integrated assessment of the offeror's proposal to meet the solicitation requirements and the evaluation criteria to determine how well the proposal meets the following evaluation factors which are listed in descending order of importance.

1. Technical Factor

The Technical factor has three subfactors.

Subfactor 1: Production

Subfactor 2: Management

Subfactor 3: Quality

Each subfactor will be evaluated separately and assigned a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. If an offeror receives an Unacceptable in any of the three subfactors, an Unacceptable will be received for the overall Technical factor.

2. Price Factor

There are no subfactors under the Price factor. The resulting award will be a Firm-Fixed Price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Price factor.

b. Offerors are cautioned that "parroting" of the technical requirements with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirement or capability to perform. Each offeror is responsible for including concise and sufficient details

(e.g., drawings, test data, etc.) to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal. All information shall be confined to the appropriate volume/factor/subfactor. The Government will not assume the duty to search for data or information to cure problems it finds in a proposal. The burden of providing complete and thorough information, to address the factors, subfactors, and elements below, remains with the offeror. Any proposal that does not contain the information requested risks being determined Unacceptable by the

Government. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. Files shall not contain classified data.

c. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Cognizant Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms in response to this solicitation.
