Solicitation W91CRB-24-R-5018 FINAL Q and A.docx

Solicitation W91CRB-24-R-5018 AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Devices (MNVDS) Question and Answer (Q&A)

1. Could you confirm the FMS end country for this max 1800 FOM requirement and also the FMS Case #?”

Response: The Figure of Merit (FOM) requirement for Colombia is ≤1800 (Not to exceed 1800).

2. On SAM.Gov this solicitation states the following: “Original Set Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5)”, however on the downloadable Solicitation D01 W91CRB-24-R-5018.pdf, the requirement is marked as “unrestricted / no set aside”. Can you please confirm that there is a Total Small Business set aside assigned to this solicitation?

Response: AN/PVS-14 Monocular Night Vision Devices (MNVDS), Solicitation W91CRB-24-R-5018 is 100% Set-Aside. Revised D01 W91CRB-24-R-5018, Page 1, Block 10 attached.

3. Regarding the following items:

· FAST Helmet Mount Adapters

· Head/Helmet Mount Adapter (J-arm)

My understanding is that everything needed to operate AN/PVS-14s from a FAST helmet and a rifle are required, meaning FAST helmet NVG Shroud, RHINO mount, and J-arm. Is this correct? Different companies mean different things by “Helmet Mount Adapter” so I want to clarify and give you the exact solution that you require.

Response: Correct. This answer is also for other cases: CO-B-VIQ and CO-B-VJA. See the photos that we got from the Colombian Navy below:

4. Is it possible to clarify type of helmet used by the end-user? FAST Helmet Mount Adapters (LOA Line #002a). Depending on the type of helmet, the mount adapter may be different. A part number would be best.

Response: Please see the photos for the question #3. Colombia did not provide the part numbers for these items, but they provided the type of helmet and mount adapter as shown in figures 1 to 5 above (refer to the question #3 response).

5. On Standard Form 1449 for solicitation W91CRB-24-R-5018, the requested PVS-14 NVDs are listed under CLIN001 on page 4 as, “COMMODITY NAME: PORTABLE AN/PVS-14 NVD GEN II.”

On the same document on page 7, they are listed as, “AN/PVS-14 (F6015) Monocular Night Vision Device (MNVD), White Phosphor (F9415) - Gen III Night Vision Image Intensifier Tube MX11769, Figure of Merit (FOM) not to exceed 1800 and Auto Gated.

Please clarify if the RFP is for GEN II or GEN III ii tubes for PVS-14 NVDs.

Response: The requirement per SOW section 3.1.1 is for AN/PVS-14 (F6015) Monocular Night Vision Device (MNVD), White Phosphor (F9415) - Gen III Night Vision Image Intensifier Tube MX11769, Figure of Merit (FOM) not to exceed 1800 and Auto Gated. The “Commodity Name” found under Solicitation page 4, CLIN 0001 has been revised to read PORTABLE AN/PVS-14 NVD GEN III.
