1. Questions and Answers #3 has been added.
Section C SOW:
1. Paragraph 3.6 Realibility Testing has been updated.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 3
Small Tactical Optical Rifle Mounted Micro-Laser Rangefinder II (STORM II)
Questions and Answers #3
48. Question: RFP: Requesting a fifteen (15) day extension to the proposed due date from 04 Dec 2017 to 19
Dec 2017.
Government Answer: Proposal due date will not be extended.
49. Question: SOW Section 3.6: “The Contractor shall conduct Reliability Qualification Testing (RQT) on the system(s) and as part of PQT, and on every production lot to verify continued compliance with the system reliability requirements.” Performance Specification Appendix A (Verification Matrix, Table 10), specification paragraph 3.9.1 indicates that reliability testing is to be completed annually. Please confirm that Reliability Testing is to be conducted as part of PQT and then annually per the performance specification and not on every production lot (monthly).
Government Answer: Section 3.6 of the STORM II is changed as follows:
3.6 Reliability Testing. The Contractor shall conduct Reliability Qualification Testing (RQT) on the system(s) as part of PQT and, as a minimum, on an annual basis to verify continued compliance with the system reliability requirements. Component level reliability testing shall only be required when system level testing is not being performed. The Contractor shall submit Production Reliability Acceptance Test (PRAT) reports for all reliability tests. Sampling of each lot shall be conducted IAW the approved QVM contained in the STORM II PS. The Contractor shall institute all necessary corrective actions to bring the systems/components into reliability compliance at no additional cost to the Government, to include all units delivered since the last previously successful reliability test as determined by the Government.
Demonstration of reliability compliance following institution of corrective actions shall be conducted by the Contractor at no additional expense to the Government.
50. Question: SOW Section 3.6: “Component level reliability testing shall only be performed during months when system level testing is not being performed.” Request the government clarify the intent of this statement.
Government Answer: The Government's intent is that should delivery of STORM II systems be completed on this contract and spares or contractor logistics support continue to be performed, components will be assembled into systems and reliability testing performed in order to continue qualification of the production line, as well as ensuring that the parts being sold as spares, or used in warranty and user damaged repair are still in compliance with contract requirements.
