- Description
- The purpose of this Amendment is to answer questions that have been submitted regarding the above-mentioned solicitation. 1. Question: Please provide clarity on whether the Government will supply M- 11 Copper Crush Gauges. Answer: The Government will provide one hundred M-11 Gauges, thirty days after contract award to the successful bidder. 2. Question: Please provide clarity on whether the Government will supply breeches and 105mm rifled gun tubes with at least 85% useful life remaining? Answer: The Government will provide two breeches and two 105mm rifled gun tubes. These items will be made available at the Government Test Facilities. 3. Question: Please clarify the source for the tungsten indexing information to be used with the tungsten rate re-opener. Answer: Replace paragraph H.5 in its entirety with the following paragraph: The winning contractor agrees to negotiate the cost of tungsten with the Government prior to each option, if exercised. If the market price of tungsten increases or decreases, the winning contractor will re-price the negotiated effort using the adjusted price of tungsten and calculate the cost impact. The contractor will submit the price of tungsten included in their basic proposal along with the supporting cost detail for that price. This price will be considered the base index. Thirty days prior to exercise of any option, the contractor will provide the supporting cost detail for the market price of tungsten along with a spreadsheet showing the impact on the contract price. The Government will notify the contractor within 60 days of the intent to exercise an option. The maximum amount of any increase is 5% of the cartridge unit price. No adjustment will be made for any escalation amount that falls within +/-10% of the base index. 4. Question: Verify the intended use of the additional M148A1B1 Cartridge Cases as the answer to Question #2 in amendment 4 stated that the additional cases ???are for Government inventory to be supplied to the 105mm contractors as GFM???. Since the cases are not included in the list of GFM under the subject RFP, it is our belief that the cases will not be provided as GFM on this program to be used in the production of the M1040 option quantities. Please confirm that the additional cases will not be provided back to the successful contractor under the contract resulting from this RFP. Answer: Only the price of Clin 0001 for the M1040 Cartridges (FY06) shall include the cost of the M148A1B1 cartridge case. Contractor will purchase the M148A1B1 cartridge cases under Clins 0002 and 0006. The M148A1B1 cartridge cases are being incrementally procured for use in program options as a means to assure availability due to the planned shutdown of Riverbank AAP. The M148A1B1 cartridge cases procured under Clin 0002 will be used for Options 1 and 2, if exercised and as such, Clins 0004 and 0005 should not include the cost of the M148A1B1 cartridge case. The M148A1B1 cartridge cases procured under Clin 0006 will be used for Options 7 and 8, if exercised and as such, Clins 0007 and 0008 should not include the cost of the M148A1B1 cartridge case. 5. Question: FedBizzOpps has only formally issued Amendment A0001. The rest of the Amendments are notices only. Answer: Contractors shall make mention of receipt of all posted Amendments on their cover page. 6. The Solicitation closing date is hereby extended from 26 May 06 to 31 May 06, at 4:00 pm EST. 7. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. (End of Summary of Changes)
