AMENDMENT 0003:

The purpose of this amendment to provide Question and Answer (Q&A) responses from the Industry Day held on 24 October 2024 and to update the Technical Data Package. An updated Statement of Work (SOW) and updated Work Instructions are provided. Please see section labeled Industry Day Q&A below.

Industry Day Q&A

1. Question: Since the "tray" is "hogged out" from a solid piece of aluminum, would an alternate (more economical) manufacturing way be acceptable if it meets all dimensions and is made from the exact same material? I believe we can make it more efficiently than the current methods, and would more than likely be cheaper.

Answer: Since the drawing does not explicitly indicate the manufacturing method, any manufacturing method should be acceptable, so long as the end product conforms to the requirements of the drawing.

1. Question: If there are other variants of shelters being refurbished under your division, could they be added to this program to encompass all shelter refurb requirements you have? It could be a material cost savings for you. Just a thought since they probably require similar procedures and parts.

Answer: This requirement is for the refurbishment of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 Shelter Structures. The government is not exploring refurbishment of other variants of the system at this time.

1. Question: What quantities is the Government expecting with this contract?

Answer: Solicitation will provide minimum and maximum quantities per CLIN Tier Level. Anticipated quantities are:

Tier 1: Min 1, Max 32

Tier 2: Min 0, Max 61

Tier 3: Min 0, Max 32

1. Question: For new shelters, will crates be provided?

For Tiers 2 and 3, NSWC Crane will ship shelters in crates to the vendor, and the vendor can reuse the crates to ship completed units back to NSWC Crane. For Tier 1, SOW paragraph 3.11 indicates “The vendor shall be able to transport GFP to NSWC Crane and package GFP per Packaging and Marking Guide for DoD via “Level A” packing.”

1. Question: Will rolling carts for shelters be provided?

Rolling carts for shelters will not be provided, but NSWC Crane can provide source of supply for carts at time of contract award.

1. Question: What documentation will be needed upon delivery of shelters in terms of CM and AQ?

NSWC Crane will provide work instructions that outline the various levels of repair as well as the TDP. These work instructions have QA steps and checks that can be followed. NSWC Crane will perform QA on incoming shelters and verify the incoming materials pass QA inspection.

1. Question: How will vendors be held accountable for tier level performance?

Answer: Similar to above. The end product should adhere to the TDP.

1. Question: What is the governments expected lead time for each tier?

Answer:

Tier 1: 12 months After Date of Order (ADO)

Tier 2: 9 months ADO

Tier 3: 6 months ADO
