About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document containing 58 questions and responses related to solicitation W909MY-25-B-0001 for Power Distribution Illumination Systems, Electrical (PDISE) components and accessories. The majority of questions seek clarification on incorrect National Stock Numbers (NSNs) listed in the solicitation, with the government confirming the correct NSNs for various components including electrical feeder centers, cable assemblies, and distribution centers.
Key clarifications include: the ship-to destination is DLA Distribution Center in Tobyhanna, PA; inspection and acceptance is at origin rather than destination; 60-amp cables are not required for this procurement; the First Article Testing period is 12 months total with 6 months for fabrication and 6 months for testing; configuration management requirements are in place despite this being a build-to-print effort; and an Economic Price Adjustment clause will be added to address potential tariff impacts. Technical Data Package (TDP) questions revealed several drawing revision discrepancies that were clarified by the government. The file provides detailed corrections to numerous part numbers and specifications but does not modify the core requirements of the solicitation.

| 6 | Solicitation Page 95 Section M.1 | Tariff Implications | The Government's expressed objective is to determine which bid offers the lowest price. This offeror has worked very hard to negotiate the best pricing possible from material suppliers. Now, several suppliers of high-dollar / cost-driver components have issued statements about the tariffs currently being discussed / imposed by the US Governemnt on foreign sources of component materials. Suppliers are stating if they are unable to fully mitigate the impact of these tariffs, they will be forced to pass on the impact through price adjustments.

| 1 | SOW - Attachment 1 | Provisioning Requirements Statement | Required PPL, EDFP, TMs, MAC and RPSTL but there is no pricing line. Are these already developed and not required? | As the systems in question are fully matured, the development of provisioning material, including the Provisioning Parts List (PPL), Engineering Data For Provisioning (EDFP), Technical Manuals (TMs), Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC), and Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL), is not required at this stage. These documents and materials have already been developed during prior phases of the program, ensuring that they meet all necessary specifications and requirements. |
Attachment 1, which is included with this response, provides reference documentation to confirm the completion of these items. Since the systems are fully mature, no additional provisioning or material development is necessary, and these items are considered finalized.
| 2 | SOW 3.3 | FA | Where will the FA be delivered if testing is the responsibility of the contractor? | The location for the delivery and testing of the FA (First Article) units will be at the contractor’s discretion, based on their internal testing and quality assurance processes. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that the FA units meet all the operational and functional requirements outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) and in compliance with the relevant standards such as MIL-DTL-53126. |
| 3 | SOW 3.5.1 | CIVR | Will the CIVR be completed before testing begins? | No, the CIVR (Configuration Item Verification Review) will not be conducted before testing. The CIVR will take place after all testing has been successfully completed and passed. The purpose of the CIVR is to confirm that the final product adheres to the technical specifications and requirements outlined in the Technical Data Package (TDP) and the Statement of Work (SOW). |
The CIVR process ensures that the product has been manufactured, assembled, and tested in accordance with the defined standards, and that all design and performance criteria are met. It acts as a final verification step, validating the alignment between the built product and the documentation provided in the TDP and SOW. This review will include a detailed inspection of the product's quality, compliance with regulatory standards, and confirmation that all necessary testing and validation activities have been completed per the contractual requirements.

Request shall be sent to the KO, Ms. Jessica Hawkins and Ms. Mary Suda at jessica.l.hawkins27.civ@army.mil and mary.a.suda.civ@army.mil | |
| 1 | P8 / 3.3 | First Article | The first sentence states that fabrication and testing, among other activities, should be completed within 12 months. The third sentence specifies that the FAT units must be delivered no later than 180 days. Does this mean the Government intends for the FAT units to be built within 6 months (180 days) and then tested internally for an additional 6 months? This would result in the FAT phase being completed within 12 months. | Yes, that is correct. The FA (First Article) period is designed to span 12 months in total, with a timeline for fabrication, testing, and evaluation. The first 6 months of this 12-month period will be dedicated to the fabrication and production of the FA units. During this phase, the contractor will focus on completing the manufacturing, assembly, and integration of the FAT units in alignment with the technical specifications outlined in the TDP and SOW. |
The subsequent 6 months will be allocated for comprehensive testing and evaluation of the FAT units to ensure that the FAT units meet all performance criteria and are fully operational before delivery. The testing period allows for verification of the units’ compliance with contractual and operational requirements, and also provides the opportunity to address any issues or adjustments identified during the testing process.
In summary, the FAT phase will be completed within a 12-month period, with the first 6 months focused on fabrication and the remaining 6 months dedicated to testing and validation.
| 2 | P9 / 3.4 | TDP | We respectfully request access to the technical data package for all configuration items and accessories. | The government will provide via SAFE.apps.mil. The TDP with the current drawings will be provided to vendors upon request. Request shall be sent to the KO, Ms. Jessica Hawkins and Ms. Mary Suda at jessica.l.hawkins27.civ@army.mil and mary.a.suda.civ@army.mil |
| 3 | P13 / 3.9 | Configuration Management | Section 3.9 contains a fairly robust configuration management requirement for a build-to-print effort. Why is this the case? Does the government anticipate the need for the generation and submittal of ECPs during the execution of the contract because there are issues with the current baseline? If so, what are the areas of concern within the technical data that will / might require attention? | At this time, we do not anticipate any major changes that would necessitate the submission of ECPs. The current baseline design has been thoroughly validated, and the system has proven reliability. However, given the dynamic nature of hardware production and external factors, such as supply chain variability or part obsolescence, there could be minor adjustments or variations needed in the materials or components used. |
The robust configuration management (CM) requirements in Section 3.9 are in place to ensure that, even for a build-to-print effort, any necessary changes or adjustments can be efficiently managed throughout the contract lifecycle. While the design is fully matured, with over 30,000 units produced in the past, it is important to maintain a structured CM process to address any unforeseen issues that might arise during production or testing. This includes the ability to manage Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) if required.
Areas of concern that might trigger minor changes include:
Supply Chain Disruptions: Unexpected delays or shortages in components could require substitution or re-sourcing, potentially leading to variations in part specifications or suppliers.
Quality Variations: Even with established parts and materials, quality issues (e.g., deviations in batch production or manufacturing tolerances) may necessitate slight adjustments to ensure system integrity and compliance.
Component Obsolescence: If a component becomes obsolete or is no longer available, a suitable replacement might be needed, which could require minor design updates or configuration adjustments.
In all cases, any changes would be managed through the established CM process, with full documentation, review, and approval as necessary. The goal is to ensure that all modifications, however minor, are tracked and controlled to maintain the integrity of the product and compliance with the contractual requirements.
