- Description
- The following questions and answers are provided for the above referenced Request for Information: 1. Page 1, last paragraph Question: What are the minimum and maximum range of ASuW and FIAC missions. Answer: The Navy is interested in industry's assessment of the capability that can be delivered for ASuW/FAC/FIAC mission area within a four year time frame. 2. Sections 1 through 4 Question: Is the purpose of the PowerPoint Presentation to summarize our response? Answer: Yes 3. Report with requested cost, schedule and technical details a. Question: Should the report be submitted in MS-Word? Answer: MS-Word or Adobe PDF is acceptable. b. Clarification: We are assuming that the "technical details" refer to those details affecting cost and schedule, and do not refer to a written technical description, is this correct? Answer: No, it is requested that report include technical description, approach, requested technical information, such as design concepts, TRL / MRL assessment with supporting analyses and test and evaluation, and cost and schedule, with the PowerPoint presentation serving a summary. 4. Section 1.b. MOD 4 initialization system Question: Will modifications to the MOD 4 initialization system be considered "significant"? Answer: A modification to the MK34 Gun Weapon System to initialize the guided projectile is not considered a "significant" change. 5. Section 2. TRL and MRL Level Question: Is the customer looking for designs that have a minimum TRL/MRL level? Answer: There is no minimum TRL/MRL. However, as noted in RFI, the Navy is interested in understanding the current TRL/MRL assessment and the technical approach and cost to "mature the current projectile TRL/MRL to a TRL8/MRL 7 to US Navy standards supporting a Milestone C decision within a four year period." 6. Section 3. Assume 50 units to be delivered Question: Are the 50 units being delivered prior to the completion of the 4 year period part of the flight testing for qualification for the USN or a separate deliverable quantity to be delivered after CDR? If separate deliverable, should the cost estimate include test support? Answer: Yes, assume 50 units to be delivered prior to the completion of the 4 year period as part of flight testing and qualification by the USN. 7. Section 4. Include the annual production profile with corresponding risk assessment (distribution) Clarification: Please explain what is meant by annual production profile with corresponding risk assessment (distribution) Answer: The RFI requested "production quantity of 10,000 rounds over 4 years." The Navy would also like to have the Average Unit Production Cost Estimate for the following annual quantities. Year 1: 1,000 rounds Year 2: 2,000 rounds Year 3: 3,500 rounds Year 4: 3,500 rounds If it's industry's assessment that there is a more economical approach to annual production quantities to meet the goal of 10,000 rounds at the end of four years, it is permissible to provide an alternate annual profile and Average Unit Production Cost estimate. The Navy is also interested in industry's assessment of the risk to meet the provided Average Unit Production Cost estimate. 8. Company information Question: What is defined as "Corporate POC?" A corporate POC would be the responsible party at any individual company who leads a team or who has cognizance of providing the information requested herein.
