About this file
The file is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for Solicitation W912CH-24-R-0208, a procurement for a Special Purpose Electrical Cable Assembly by the U.S. Army Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal. The solicitation is a single one-time buy with a 100% option Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract for National Stock Number 6150-01-260-2747, set aside exclusively for small businesses and requiring Joint Certification Program (JCP) export control certification.
Key details include a delivery requirement of 50 units per month starting 300 days after award, with an upcoming amendment to clarify minimum delivery requirements. The procurement involves a Technical Data Package (TDP) with distribution code "D", limiting access to U.S. Government agencies and contractors. Potential bidders must request TDP access via SAM.gov and submit signed offers to Contract Specialist Richard Hall. Notable questions in the Q&A document address first article testing specifications, performance bond requirements, and component-level testing, with some testing and specification details still pending clarification.

| Question | Answer |
| first article testing spec of the top drawing is missing in the TDP package. Would you please email me the first article testing spec? | No, its a DTL for the First Article Test, and any dimensional requirements, per drawings or specification requirements. The print for the cable assembly has all the test requirements on it, and the final test will be a bench test to make sure it works as intended. Instructions for the First Article Test can be found in Section E.2 |
| There is no information in box 9. Could you please confirm the due date and time of this solicitation? | Solicitation close date is listed on SAM.Gov |
| Section B states that the delivery requirement is 50 units per month starting 300 days after award, however, F-6 states that 110 ea/month is required 300 days after award. Could you please clarify the minimum delivery requirements? | An Amendment will be posted to SAM with revised minimum delivery requirement. Sect F will read 50 Units per month starting 300 Days After Award. KTRS will be required to sign Amendment |
| The answer to the question you provided 7/22 seems to indicate that only basic electrical test and inspection of the cable are needed for first article. However, the Section E-2 of the solicitation that you referenced includes corrosion testing and life cycle testing (i.e. section E-2.1.2.3 and E-2.1.2.4) but there is no associated specification referenced in Section E-2 and no requirements for these tests on the drawings or in the TDP. At the component level, we will require verification of Mil-Spec testing for connectors and other parts via CoC as required. Two questions: (a) what did you mean by “DTL” and (b) can you clarify exactly what first article test/inspection is required for the cable assembly itself?” |

FAT question - The answer to the question you provided 7/22 seems to indicate that only basic electrical test and inspection of the cable are needed for first article. However, the Section E-2 of the solicitation that you referenced includes corrosion testing and life cycle testing (i.e. section E-2.1.2.3 and E-2.1.2.4) but there is no associated specification referenced in Section E-2 and no requirements for these tests on the drawings or in the TDP. At the component level, we will require verification of Mil-Spec testing for connectors and other parts via CoC as required. Two questions: (a) what did you mean by “DTL” and (b) can you clarify exactly what first article test/inspection is required for the cable assembly itself?”

ANSWER: TBD
| Section I-118 references a performance bond. “Page 52.228-15 01-JUN-2020 PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS--CONSTRUCTION (DEVIATION 2020-O0016)” As this solicitation is not a construction contract, we want to confirm if a performance bond is required. | In the Amendment that will be issued addressing the minimum QTY wil lbe it will also include the removal of FAR 52.228-15 |
| Materials for this solicitation have a 25 week lead time. Is the government willing to extend the FAT requirement to 210 days? | It is up to the contractor to go by their best business practices when submitting their proposal |
