SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 28-Oct-2021 03:00 PM to 05-Nov-2021 03:00 PM.

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

1. The purpose of this Amendment 0001 is to respond to contractors’ questions as follows:

Q1: I am looking for more information regarding what is required from the contract data requirement list. There seems to be things on the contract that are not listed in the contract data requirement list. When you go to the contract data requirement list it only has the "First Article Test Report / Lot Acceptance Test Report/ Pre-Production Test Report" listed. This could be my misunderstanding and the CDRL is only purpose is to show "tests" no other requirements like certifications

A1: The Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL) identifies which data products must be delivered by the contractor to the Government. The CDRL (DD Form 1423) provides a standardized way to clearly itemize the Government's data requirements. The CDRL groups all data requirements in a single place rather than having them scattered throughout the solicitation or contract. For this requirement, the CDRL identifies tests that are required.

Q2: Also, It says on that document that "First Article Test Report / Lot Acceptance Test Report/ Pre- Production Test Report" is required. Are these 3 things that are listed the same thing but different terminology? If not, can you provide information regarding what another testing needs to be done?

A2: The First Article Test Report / Lot Acceptance Test Report/ Pre-Production Test Report require the same information which will show that the boxes are compliant with the Government’s requirements.

Information is required before the Government provides approval for the contractor to begin production which is when there is a First Article Test Report submitted. Lot Acceptance Test Report/ Pre-Production Test Report and the Lot Acceptance Test Report is required with each Lot delivered to the Government to include the production quantities. Ensure you read the all requirements carefully and thoroughly to be compliant with what the Government requires.

Q3: Can you provide clarification if the inside dimensions of 12 1/4" x 12 1/16" x 7 9/16" listed in the contract description overridge any inside dimensions listed in MIL-DTL-46506 (Type I, Grade A, Class 2)?

A3: To clarify, the inside box dimensions shall be 12 1/4" x 12 1/16" x 7 9/16".

Q4: Is the bid evaluated on the best price for the total of all 5 years (Initial year plus 4 option years) or it is primarily based on the first year. I do see that there is an evaluation weight given to quantity brackets.

A4: Proposals are evaluated based on the total evaluated price for all 5 years (5 Ordering Periods not option years) not just the first year. The weights indicate the most probable quantity range for that ordering period. See Sections L and M of the solicitation for the Instructions to offerors and Evaluation of Proposals for details.

Q5: If the DoD decides to continue with the option years, do we have the option to decline to continue the contract if our circumstances change?

W52P1J21R3019

A5: Any exceptions taken by a contractor shall be noted in their submitted proposal. The Government intends to award a contract with five ordering periods not option years. Therefore, if contractors are unable to perform on the contract, the contracting officer would review and make a determination based on the situation and the contract terms and conditions. If a termination is processed it may reflect poorly on a contractor’s past performance and may result in the contractor paying reprocurement costs.

Q6: I have another inquiry regarding the specifications for the crate's overall tolerance of the drawing ( ± 1/8 or + 1/8)?

A6: The tolerance is +/- 1/8.

Q7: Do they have the actual drawings of the wire bound crates? The information listed in the opportunity only provides my company with military specifications on the wooden crates but does not fully provide complete dimensional analysis.

Can you please have someone screenshot or clip where it shows the complete dimensions of this crate?

A7: The wire-bound box shall be IAW MIL-DTL-46506 (Attachment 0002). It shall be Type I, Grade A, Class 2. The dimensions shall be 12-1/4" x 12-1/16 x 7-9/16" ID . See the CLIN details and all attachments. Note contractors shall obtain restricted attachments per the Technical Data Package (TDP) instructions contained in Section C of the solicitation.

2. Receipt of proposals is extended to November 5, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time.

3. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
