- Description
- 1. DESCRIPTION: This announcement constitutes the second amendment to Commercial Agency Announcement (CAA) N00164-02-R-0014 originally published on 27 MAR 2002 and amended on 28 JUN 2002. This second amendment is being issued in response to questions received from industry concerning the DRAFT Performance Specification for pending solicitation number N00164-02-R-0014. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on 16 OCT 2002. The formal solicitation has not yet been issued. 2. INDUSTRY QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT ANSWERS: References cited in this amendment are from revision Preliminary 10 of the draft Performance Specification dated 21 June 2002. The applicable questions and answers are as follows: QUESTION NO. 1: 3.2.12 Are DL-123 batteries acceptable for Group B Active Miniature Day/Night Sight Subsystems? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 1: The performance s pecification neither requires nor precludes the use of any specific battery; however, any battery chosen must be common and commercially available. QUESTION NO. 2: 3.2.15 Is an “all in one package” more desirable than the modular approach currently utilized? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 2: Any proposed “all-in-one” solution must meet all of the KPP’s for each of the subsystems it is combining. APP’s are, by definition, tradable. Combined systems will be evaluated based on risks and benefits that the solution will provide the operator. An all-in-one solution may or may not be more desirable. This is a research solicitation; innovation is encouraged. A best value determination will be made prior to contract award. QUESTION NO. 3: 3.3.2.1.2.8 At what point does the VBL become too bright? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 3: The Operational Requirements Document (ORD) specifies a minimum range of visible illumination, but does not include any specifications for luminosity. Life Cycle Sustainment costs will be considered during the source selection process; therefore, the systems should be designed to be as efficient as possible and still meet the performance specifications. QUESTION NO. 4: 3.3.2.2.2.1 Is the “double tap” feature of the AN/PEQ-2 Pressure Pad acceptable for a constant on function? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 4: The ORD has not changed since the AN/PEQ-2 was fielded. Improvements on the current design will be considered. A “double tap” feature may or may not be more desirable. This will be determined by operational and developmental testing. This is a research solicitation; innovation is encouraged. A best value determination will be made prior to contract award. QUESTION NO. 5: 3.3.2.2 Is a high-power illuminating (100 mw output) laser desired for sniper applications? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 5: Sniper applications for infrared pointing, illuminating, and aiming capability are not within the scope of the upcoming solicitation. There is no requirement for a 100mw laser; however, specific applications for pointing out to 5km in limited quantities are anticipated as separated contract line items. The performance specification will be updated to reflect this requirement. QUESTION NO. 6: 3.3.2.2.2.6 Is there a requirement for an IR Illuminator only mode? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 6: See Performance Specification (Para. 3.3.2.2.2.6) QUESTION NO. 7: 3.3.2.2.2.8 Are low profile adjusters acceptable/preferred as currently incorporated into the AN/PEQ-2 Model 5000? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 7: Adjusters will be evaluated on several criteria including, but not limited to, ease of operat ion, snag hazards, glove accessibility, etc. Low-profile adjusters may or may not be more desirable. This will be determined by operational and developmental testing. This is a research solicitation; innovation is encouraged. A best value determination will be made prior to contract award. QUESTION NO. 8: 3.3.2.3.24 8a. The laser wavelength of 630 +/- 15nm (Red) is specified. Is Green 535nm acceptable? ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 8a: The wavelength spec NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (04-MAR-2003). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 12-FEB-2004. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
