- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is stated below. Please be aware of the new due date for this RFP which is April 11, 2003. 1. Section M.8 delete the words ?and offeror?s proposed cancellation ceilings.? 2. Section B, add a line so that 0002AA and 0002AB are each priced. 3. Section B, 0003 is priced as total, not per order or option. 4. Section B, add a line so that 0004 can be priced. 5. Section B, Proposed prices are not required for items 0006,0008,0010,0011,0013,0014,0015 and 0016. They are only to show the ranges. 6. Section J, Contract Data Requirements (A008) referenced as Technical Report Study/ Services should read ?Government Furnished Material (GFM) Consumption Report? as specified in C.3.8. 7. The capability of the contractors AIE to measure to the .005 the base gap requirement in the M795 specification will be evaluated against the contractor meeting the specification requirements set forth in section 4 of the specification for film radiography. This includes submitting film that clearly shows that the 2T holes in each IQI (penetrameter) are clearly identifiable at the specified location. The contractor would be required to reject any discernable base separation unless they can prove that they can accurately assess base separations less than .005". All proposed digital x-ray systems must be proven to be as good or better than film radiography for all defect types. 8. RFP due date is extended to 11 April 2003 at 4 pm EST. 9. Reference NOR R1A2050, document # 9312769 a. Has change in cyclic conditioning profile been performed under production? Utilizing thermocoupled projectiles in the post cycle heat oven(s) has been performed in a production environment by a government contractor. They are used to balance the temperatures throughout the oven(s) as well as calibrate the process to assure the Government that the post cycle heat equipment/process established by the contractor, provides the necessary minimum/maximum temperatures are achieved for the minimum time requirement. b. Does the Govt have a profile of transition times, volume of airflow? The TDP contains sufficient information for contractors to develop a post cycle conditioning process. Profile information is not available. c. Is .005?correct limit for measuring base gap? If so, why was it changed from .015? to .005?? The correct measurement is .005 inches. Wording was changed from ?no discernable base separation? to ?the maximum allowable base separation shall be .005 inches? when inspected by x-ray. The reason for this change was because below .005 inches, it is difficult to discern utilizing conventional x-ray technology, if base separation is present. 10. Will the specially designed Government owned M795 DR radiography equipment be made available to any successful contractor as GFE? Will M795 DR inspection system specifications, capabilities and throughput be made available? The capability of the contractors AIE, whether by digital or film radiography, to measure to the .005 the base gap requirement in the M795 specification will be evaluated against the contractor meeting the specification requirements set forth in section 4 of the specification for film radiography. This includes submitting film that clearly shows that the 2T holes in each IQI (penetrameter) is clearly identifiable at the specified location. The contractor would be required to reject any discernable base separation unless they can prove that they can accurately assess base separations less than .005". All proposed digital x-ray systems must be proven to be as good or better than film radiography for all defect types. The Digital X-ray System has not undergone final acceptance or been proven in full rate production, therefore, the capabilities and throughput are not available. Final acceptance of the system is anticipated in FY03. Upon final acceptance, title for a portion of the system will be retained by JMC under the facility use contract. However, some of the system was not funded by the US Government, but was funded by American Ordnance and is not US Government property and title remains with AO. After acceptance, this system will be in use supporting additional military programs in addition to the M795, and therefore, will not be available as GFE for use at another location. Also, it would not be practical or cost effective to physically disassemble and move an incomplete system, lacking hardware and software, computers, scanners, printers, shields, weldments, doors, lids, conveyors and power supply from IAAAP to another facility. 11. Will freight be GBL or priced by offeror? Per F.5 FAR 52.247-29 FOB Origin, a GBL will be prepared. 12. Section C.3.3.6. Is the list of process parameters required, or the actual SOP? Will actual SOP changes be approved by PCO prior to implementation, or granted for the changes that result in a change to the SOP? The PPDs will be a list of the process parameters, procedures and equipment used along with the SOPs. The PPDs/SOPs will be approved prior to the FAT and the PCO must then be notified of the proposed changes or modifications before implementing any change/modification to the PPDs/SOPs.
