QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

(1)

QUESTION:

Is the Raytheon or NADCAP certification mandatory?

ANSWER: Yes, the certification (or willingness to obtain the certification) is a requirement.

(2)

QUESTION:

What will the pickup and delivery schedule look like? You guys are a few hours away so it will be hard for me to send a driver to you for a 10pcs hot jobs that you need the next day. We can always UPS but that takes time. Will you be send the majority of the jobs on a skid at one time or will they be spaced out?

ANSWER:

As far as the shipping goes, we could work with the vendor on a set schedule (possibly every other week, weekly, or something in between) as we have done in the past. Third party billing is an option through FedEx or UPS but that would be a last resort for us as it is time consuming and the packaging materials are not readily available down at the shop. This would work with small parts / orders but our orders are impossible to predict with regards to quantity, weight, and frequency.

(3)

QUESTION:

Under the PWS, Line 1.2 states "Contract services are required to remove existing plating, prepare, treat and finish these surfaces to ensure required performance over their service lives." - which I take to mean blasting/stripping, taping off, cleaning, and prepping for plating. In other words, we get the parts as they are and are responsible for blasting, cleaning, etc. and include that as a part of our price for plating the parts.

However...

Under 3.0 Government Furnished Property, Material, Equipment and Services, Line 3.2.1 states “The Government will clean and remove all organic coatings, such as paint, primer, grease, oil, adhesive or gasket material, from the parts shipped to the contractor.” - which I take to mean that LEAD will blast parts clean prior to the Contractor receiving the parts and the Contractor will not be responsible for re-blasting the parts if organic (paint/scale) materials are left on them but the government will re-blast parts until acceptable under 3.2.1; or, a separate surcharge for blasting parts will be added to the contract if government blasted parts are received and not completely clean, requiring additional blasting by the Contractor.

Could you please clarify? We don't want to quote just the plating if blasting will be required as well and don't want to overbid if other offerors don't include the blasting in their offers.

ANSWER:

We are trying to eliminate the separate Blasting CLIN as we have now, the additional blasting pertains to mostly Remanufactured parts, in particular those requiring Cadmium and Electoroless Nickel Plating. These (and others) require the vendor to take additional steps to prepare them. LEAD will perform the work stated under Line 3.2.1 to ensure those types of materials are not on the part when it ships to the vendor, it does not include existing plating, this would be up to the vendor to do. We would like very much not to have to include any surcharge CLINS this go around.

(4)

QUESTION:

Part # 11456578 - states to strip existing nickel plating. Where is the existing nickel plating at on the part? It mentions masking is required so we need to know where we are stripping on the part. Will this part have existing primer/silicone on the part?

Part # 11468651 - states to strip existing nickel plating. Where is the existing nickel plating at on the part? It mentions masking is required so we need to know where we are stripping on the part. Will this part have existing primer/silicone on the part?

Part # 10274089 - states to strip existing nickel plating. Where is the existing nickel plating at on the part? It mentions masking is required so we need to know where we are stripping on the part. Will this part have existing primer/silicone on the part?

Part # 10274086 - This print did not open - it said it was corrupt on the CD - can you resend? We also will need to know, when we get the print, where we are stripping from on the part just like those mentioned above.

Part # 13021274 - We did not receive this print - can you send?

In regards to this program:

Will we receive all these parts at one time for processing? I noticed that is says performance period is one base year with four options years. If this is being spread out across the year, should we assume each part number to be by itself? We are trying to determine freight charges as well and spreading possible min lot charges out across as many part numbers as possible."

ANSWER:

Part # 11456578 - The entire part requires nickel stripping minus the pins / inserts that are of a different metal composition and require masking. The parts will only have a coating of Nickel on them, no primer or silicone.

Part # 11468651 - The entire part requires nickel stripping minus the pins / inserts that are of a different metal composition and require masking. The parts will only have a coating of Nickel on them, no primer or silicone.

Part # 10274089 - The entire part requires nickel stripping minus the pins / inserts that are of a different metal composition and require masking. The parts will only have a coating of Nickel on them, no primer or silicone.

Part # 10274086 – The entire part requires nickel stripping minus the pins / inserts that are of a different metal composition and require masking. The parts will only have a coating of Nickel on them, no primer or silicone.

*Drawing sent upon request* Part # 13021274 – *Drawing sent upon request*

In regards to the program:

No, they will not receive all parts at one time, requirements will be spread out during the contract year as our production schedules dictate. The yearly quantity is/was a best guess estimate done at the time of solicitation and may / will change as production requirements at the depot change. Vendor may receive multiple requests for the specified part and quantity may be exceed or be less than the requested quantity on the solicitation. Not all parts listed may be sent for plating during the contract year depending on production requirements of the depot.

(5)

QUESTION:

There is a note on the SOW that states: (1.4.6) Performance of at least 50 percent of the services listed in the Process Capability Statement in Paragraph 1.4.10.1 shall be at a facility owned by the contractor.

Is this 50% of the operations needed? Is this 50% of the quantity of parts listed? 50% of all the part numbers?"

ANSWER:

Intent is to have the vendor perform 50% of all required plating processes at a facility owned or operated by the vendor and are not sub-contracted out.

(6)

QUESTION:

What frequency will Letterkenny require pick-ups and deliveries?

Will we have the option to use UPS Ground and UPS Freight as needed?

ANSWER:

Deliveries would need to meet the 21 calendar day or less processing time indicated in Paragraph 5.11 of the PWS.

LEAD would be willing to work with vendor to establish a re-occurring pick up schedule that meets production schedule requirements at the depot. Schedule would most likely be weekly or bi- weekly arrangement with pick-ups done on a Tue, Wed, or Thu. We have done bi-weekly in the past. Expedited requests would be requested thru KO as indicated in Paragraph 5.11 of the PWS.

Yes, UPS ground and UPS freight is an option, but not the preferred method, vendor pick-up and delivery to LEAD is preferred method.

(7)

QUESTION:

Do you have the info on the two parts that needed to be looked into further; 11453441 and 11464115? Will they require any inserts to be removed or masked?

ANSWER:

These two parts do not require masking.

(8)

QUESTION:

Can you confirm if all 50 of part number 11453441 will be sent at one time?

It significantly changes the price if only a few parts are ran verses running them all at the same time.

ANSWER:

The quantity of 50 will be spread out across the contract year, parts are sent as dictated by the production schedules of the depot. Past years history shows this part being sent out in quantities of 10, 24, 2, and 2 so there is no way to definitively say how many will be sent with each order but it will not be all 50 at once. Also, the 50 quantity is a best guess at time of solicitation, vendor may receive more or less depending on production needs.
