Provisions and Incorporated Clauses a. 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors Commercial b. 52.212-2 Evaluation Commercial Items This is a competitive acquisition in which technical specifications (pass/fail) and price will be evaluated. The requirement will be awarded to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. Technical capability of the item offered must meet the Government requirement: HEAT will be technically evaluated for the specifications in CLIN 0001 and the following: HEAT REQUIREMENTS The HEAT shall replicate real life emergency situations in a controlled and environmentally safe facility. The HEAT must have the capability to safely and accurately rotate and stop in various positions, which allows the Airmen/Soldiers to be trained on an array of egress techniques. The device simulates a rolled-over Humvee, thus HEAT must have the capability to safely and accurately be controlled by the trainer in order to rotate and stop in various positions allowing Airmen to practice a variety of egress techniques at different angles in preparation of an actual occurrence. The device allows Airmen to be properly trained to release safety restraints, provide passenger assistance training, provide gunner assistance training, and provide injured personnel assistance training when exiting the vehicle through openings in a variety of rotated positions. Safety certifications shall be addressed in vendor quote. HEAT shall be resistant to climate conditions prevalent in Creech AFB Nevada: dry, desert conditions, extreme heat, sand. Operator and maintenance training shall include: Equipment overview, operational training, scheduled maintenance requirements, general maintenance, lock-out/tag-out, and machine control review. Training will provide the Airmen with a sense of the angle limit of rotation just before a rollover occurs and the ability to know when that point is exceeded. c. 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications Please include a completed form or complete at https://orca.bpn.gov/ d. 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions Commercial Items e. 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Commercial Items Boxes Checked 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 31 f. 52.247-34 F.O.B.

Completed representations and certifications or indicate that its available via ORCA The following are QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS concerning this requirement: HMMWV EGRESS ASSISTANCE TRAINER (HEAT) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS as of 7 Sep 07 1. Q. In the original Combined Solicitation, CLIN 0001 indicates "customer-provided" up-armored cabs, yet the next sentence indicates "Armored cab shall be provided by the Government..." It is not clear whether the contractor is being asked to fabricate the cabs or simply install cabs that are provided by the Government. Please clearly indicate the responsibility of the customer and the Government. A. The contractor is not responsible for the fabrication of the cabs. ?Government? and ?customer? are the same. The cabs shall be provided to the contractor by the Government. 2. Q. In the original Combined Solicitation, CLIN 0001, there is a listing of specifications. This further complicates the determination of the contractor's responsibilities. Is the Government requesting that two additional trainers be fabricated or that two Government-owned existing HEAT trainers be modified with armored cabs? A. The specifications in CLIN 0001 have been revised as of 7 Sep 07. The two trainers shall be fabricated using the Government provided cabs. 3. Q. HEAT trainers are fielded and come in several varieties. Some have catwalks and others do not. In the event that two new trainers are to be fabricated, will the government provide drawings, parts lists, sources of supply, schematics, and any other form of technical data available on existing trainers as well as a description of the particular trainer to be modeled? A. No, it is determined that this product is currently being manufactured by industry. Please submit quotes in response to the revised combined synopsis/solicitation. The CLIN structure that is provided in the combined synopsis/solicitation is encouraged for quote format, but vendors may modify the structure as needed. Please assure that you review the latest revisions to the combined synopsis/solicitation as of 7 Sep 07. 4. Q. The Specifications indicated in the original Combined Solicitation include some components that may have multiple uses. Please indicate the purpose of each specification and where in the trainer that specification is to apply. A. Please clarify which components are causing confusion. Also, please review the revised specifications as of 7 Sep 07. 5. Q. CLIN 0002 indicates disassembly. Is this disassembly of a stand-alone HMMWV cab or is an entire HMMWV provided for cannibalization? In the latter, what is the disposition of the remaining HMMWV assembly? Will the Government provide shipping to the contractor of the initial configuration? A. The entire HMMWV will be provided for cannibalization. Disposition of remaining HMMWV parts will be the responsibility of the company. Government will provide shipping of HMMWV to company (see CLIN 0006). 6. Q. Mounting is indicated in fixed or mobile applications. Are the hard-points the same? In the case of mobile mounting, is it possible to locate the mobile mount at the contractor facility? A. Mounting shall be fixed (see revised specifications as of 7 Sep 07). Hard points will be determined by the company producing the HEAT, unless specified prior to construction of HEAT (Air Force customer may already have specifications for hard points based on existing concrete pad) 7. Q. Training is indicated in CLIN 0004. Will the Government specify training objectives and tasks in more detail? A. Training will consist of a minimum 8 hour ?train-the-trainer? session located at the delivery location of the HEAT trainer. All aspects of training, i.e. hand-outs, videos, computer equipment, will be provided by the company producing the HEAT trainer. User will be trained on all aspects of operations and safety of HEAT equipment. Please see the latest revisions to the specifications as of 7 Sep 07. 8. Q. Will the government provide a Statement of Work and Performance Specification in relation to this effort? A. No. Please review the revised specifications in this combined synopsis/solicitation. 9. Q. What are the proposal evaluation criteria? A. Please review the revised specifications in this combined synopsis/solicitation. Quotes will be evaluated on a ?Pass/Fail? basis of the requirements. 10. Q. What is the cutoff date to the solicitation, is it the August 23 date or the August 31 date? A. Please see revised due date in the combined synopsis/solicitation. 11. Q. Does this effort require fabrication or simply installation of an existing armored cab? A. See Answer to Question 1. 12. Q. Is there an incumbent for this activity? A. There is no incumbent for this requirement. 13. Q. Is a technical data package available? A. All information is provided in this combined synopsis/solicitation. 14. Q. Is there a proposed funding profile and timeframe available? A. Unsure as to the meaning of ?proposed funding profile.? Provide clarification. Customer is requesting delivery 75 days after award.
