CLINs 0001, 0007, and 0008: Plug assemblies Item 1 (8580077-8.1-2) and Item 2 (8580077-8.1-1) on sheet 7.0S2 of DWG 53711- 8580077. CLINs 0002 and 0003: Plug assemblies Item 1 (8580072-8.1) and Item 10 (8580072-8.2) on sheet 7.0S2 of DWG 53711-8580072. CLINs 0004, 0005, and 0006: Plug assemblies Item 1 (M24231/2-002 for -1 and -2) or Item 10 (M24231/3-003 for -3) and Item 3 (M24217/7-007) on sheet 7.0S1 of DWG 53711- 8580080. Note that 8580080-1, -2 and -3 mold cavity geometries would be equivalent. Answer #1: The Government does not own any of the six molds required to manufacture to plug ends of the outboard cable assemblies and therefore molds will not be provided as GFE. For this solicitation molds are considered CFE as is the case for the existing spares outboard cable assemblies contract Question #2: If the correlating molds above are not provided, will the drawings or CAD models of the molds be provided for fabrication or modeling and 3-D printing? Answer #2: The Government does not own any of the drawings for the six molds required to manufacture to plug ends of the outboard cable assemblies and therefore drawings will not be provided as GFE. For this solicitation mold drawings are considered CFE as is the case for the existing spares outboard cable assemblies contract. Question #3: Will the MQJs for the Plug assemblies of DWG 53711- 858007 Item 1 (8580077-8.1-2) and Item 2 (8580077-8.1-1), DWG 53711-8580072 Item 1 (8580072-8.1) and Item 10 (8580072-8.2), and DWG 53711- 8580080 Item 1 (M24231/2-002 for -1 and -2) or Item 10 (M24231/3-003 for -3) and Item 3 (M24217/7-007) be provided as GFE? Answer #3: The Government will not be provide MQJs as GFE. For this solicitation molds are considered CFE as is the case for the existing spares outboard cable assemblies contract. Question #4: Lead time for the EN-1556 Type I, Amber, polyurethane cartridges is 12 weeks ARO, and the arrival shelf life of the cartridges is seven (7) months. To mitigate a procurement schedule for multiple polyurethane orders vice a mass order, we would like to know if the CLINs 0003 through 0008, each of which are 6 month deliverables, will be assigned sequentially within the FAT CLINs POP. Answer #4: Does FAT mean Factory Acceptance Test or First Article Test? A typical order will be for three or four cable sets per year with most being 150 ft lengths. Understand the shelf life concern of 7 months and that it will take 3 months to procure.� Contractor needs to make sure all materials including Polyurethane needed to manufacture cables are on hand at the start of the order. How does this contractor not have this polyurethane readily available.� Doesn't this contractor already build outboard cables with this polyurethane at their facility?� Let's investigate the CLINs and discuss this material issue further.� Not sure I fully understand the risk posed. Question #5: The vendors, SEACON and Teledyne have not provided a quote for the following and we are unsure if they will. Does the Government have an approach to rectify this situation in the case of bidders unable to acquire these items? CLINs 0001, 0007, 0008 DWG 53711-8580077 Section 7.0 Fiber Optic Cable Assembly Item 1 Plug Assembly, 8 fiber 270� 8580077-8.1-2 Item 2 Plug Assembly, 8 fiber straight 8580077-8.1-1 CLINs 0002, 0003 DWG 53711-8580072 Section 7.0 Pulse Power Cable Assembly Item 1 Preform molded insert 8580072-8.1 Item 7 Cable, electrical, polyurethane jacketed for outboard use 8580071 Item 10 Connector plug, power, M24217/7-021 (mod) 8580072-8.2 Answer #5: For this solicitation, the Contractor is expected to fabricate and/or procure all of these items from a qualified vendor to manufacture these outboard cable assemblies.� In the event the Contractor is unable to do so the Government can look at procuring these items and providing as GFM to the Contractor via a contract modification.� It should be noted that none of the items listed have been provided to the Contractor on the existing spares outboard cable assembly contract. Question #6: For companies who fall under 1,250 personnel and are, therefore, small businesses under this solicitation, please confirm that L-2019-H001 does NOT apply, and that Sec. L. 2.3 DOES apply.� Answer #6: Confirmed. For those self-represented Small Businesses, under NAICS Code 334511, L-2019-H001 would not apply and Sec. L.2.3 would.
