Lower Fuselage (LF) Radome Replacements

Added: Sep 12, 2016 8:47 am AMENDMENT 2:  The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to questions submitted from interested vendors.

Questions from interested vendors:

1)  Referencing FAR clause 52.215-21 Alt IV, REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA AND DATA OTHER THAN CERTIFIED COST OR PRICING DATA - MODIFICATIONS.  Please confirm that the expected award basis is adequate price competition.

2)  During the review of the Terms and Conditions, we have identified multiple FAR clauses which are solely applicable to commercial Contracts (ie, FAR clause 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS).  We believe that the end deliverable (LF radomes) provided by this Contract are not commercial items.  Can the commercial specific clauses be deleted?

3)  Referencing CAR clause 1352.245-70 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY, FAR clause 52.245-1 GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, and SOW section 6 Insurance against Loss or Damage to Government Property, please provide a list of government property to be provided.  If none, please delete both clauses and section 6 of the SOW.


The Government's responses to the questions from interested vendors:

1)  FAR clause 52.215-21 Alt IV only applies to modifications to the resulting contract.  Submission of certified cost or pricing data is not required under this RFQ or the resulting contract.  As stated in the RFQ: "The Government will issue a contract resulting from this Request For Quotation (RFQ) to the responsive and responsible quoter whose quote results in the best value to the Government, considering both price and non-price factors."

2)  The requested LF radomes were determined to be commercial prior to the posting of this RFQ.  All commercial item clauses and all commercial item provisions will remain in the RFQ.

3)  CAR clause 1352.245-70 was added just in case Government property is furnished for the resulting contract.  At this time, no Government property is being furnished.  Therefore, CAR clause 1352.245-70 is hereby removed from this RFQ.  FAR clause 52.245-1 was added just in case Government property is furnished for the resulting contract.  At this time, no Government property is being furnished.  Therefore, FAR clause 52.245-1 is hereby removed from this RFQ.  Insurance against Loss or Damage to Government Property from the SOW was intended to apply to the items being requested under this RFQ.  However, since the items aren't the Government's property until they are accepted, the Insurance against Loss or Damage to Government Property section does not apply.  Therefore, the Insurance against Loss or Damage to Government Property is hereby removed from the SOW and RFQ.  Minimum Contractor Requirement (1)a no longer applies, and therefore does not need to be submitted with an interested vendor's quote package.  Item 6) from the Addendum to FAR provision 52.212-1 no longer applies, and therefore does not need to be submitted with an interested vendor's quote package.

Interested vendors who submit a quote package in response to this RFQ shall state that they have read and understand Amendment 1 and Amendment 2.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Added: Sep 07, 2016 2:55 pm AMENDMENT 1:  The purpose of this amendment is to extend the response date to Wednesday, 9/14/2016 by 3:00 PM CT.  All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Added: Aug 31, 2016 11:04 am This is an unrestricted Request for Quotation (RFQ).
