Questions 1 & 2:

1. The following PNs all reference Attachment 10- 1052502 in the Index suggesting that the kits are exactly the same. Being that these kits are for different aircraft, we would expect at least some of these kits to be different. Please clarify.

1052502-10 1052506-10 1052508-10 1052512-10 1052510-10 1052514-10

2. PN 1051772-30 and 1051783-10 both reference Attachment 3 - 1051772 Rev – in the index, however neither are referenced in that drawing. Please clarify.

USG Response:

Some of the A-kits use the same TDP for the bidding. Although a CLIN may be associated with a different aircraft platform, the TDPs are similar enough for bidding purposes. The Attachment 1 TDP Index has been updated with a column to show which part number within a TDP to use for bidding a specific CLIN.

Question 3:

Please confirm that the govt only needs pricing for qty 1 per ordering period for each of the PCA CLINs.

Yes, only bid qty one PCA per ordering period for each of the PCAs CLINs.

USG Response:

Section A should be 1032 PCA AIS AH-64E
