Solicitation F49642-98-R0039 previously published in the CBD on March 3, 1998 has been amended. Amendment A001 is issued to the above combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware/software, integrating, training, customer support services and shipping worldwide to create 15 Judgmental Use of Force Training Systems (JUFTS). This amendment is issued in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only amendment of the above solicitation, proposals are being requested, and a written amendment will not be issued. This amendment is issued to revise the synopsis/solicitation and to furnish questions and answers concerning this synopsis/solicitation. (1) Change the Delivery and Acceptance of initial requirement from 45 days after contract award to read: 90 days after contract award. (2) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: Question No. 1: The solicitation states the "Contractor must take existing 60 FATS scenario discs and convert them to a media which will play on their system." Does this requirement mean that the customer has 60 FATS scenarios that need to be converted or does it mean the customer has 60 discs containing some numbers of FATS scenarios that need to be converted? Please provide the number of scenarios, scenario hours, and disks that must be converted. Answer: AFOSI has 60 FATS scenario discs with each disc containing anywhere from five to fifteen scenarios. Each disc contains approximately 28 minutes of video footage. Note: Not all the discs will be converted at the same time. Each time a new system is purchased the FATS scenario discs will be submitted to the contractor for conversion. Question No. 2: The solicitation states the contractor "must provide air/primer rounds firing system (one Sig Sauer P228 weapon, one laser insert, 500 air rounds, and an air round reloading system)." Attachment 2, CLIN 003, requires an "Air Round Firing System for Sig Sauer P228." Does the contractor providethe actual weapon, i.e., Sig Sauer P228 weapon, as part of the air round firing system or is the P228 Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)? Answer: The contractor shall provide the Sig Sauer P228 as part of the air/primer rounds firing system which consists of one Sig Sauer P228 weapon, one laser insert, 500 air rounds, and an air round reloading system. Question No. 3: The Government requires delivery and acceptance of initial requirement to be within 45 days after contract award. We request the Government to change the delivery time to 90 days after contract award. Our assumption is that the FATS weapons will be provided within five days of the contract award. Answer: As noted above the delivery and acceptance requirement for the initial requirement is extended from 45 days to 90 days after contract award. The FATS System Controlled Weapons (SCW) will be provided to the contractor within five working days after contract award. Question No. 4: Please indicate how many shooters are required for each system and what weapons will be assigned to each lane. Answer: Each system needs to have the capability of training two shooters at the same time (i.e., two lanes). Each shooter will have as a minimum two weapons. The play only system needs to allow shooters to use the 9mm and/or OC-spray weapons simultaneously. The edit play system needs to utilize both the air primer weapon, SCW and non-SCW. Question No. 5: Please indicate how many FATS (GFE) weapons of each type (M-9 Model #Ber 120182Z, and Ber 120180Z, MP-5A Model #62-343000, and M-16A2, Model # 049743) are required to be modified per system. Answer: The solicitation states that there are two (2) M-9 (#Ber 120182Z and 120180Z), one (1) MP5 (#62-343000) and one (1) M-16A2s (#049743) weapons. Question No. 6: Please provide details of each FATS (GFE) weapons (M-9 model # Ber 120182Z and Ber 120180Z, MP-5A Model #62-343000, and M-16A2, Model #049743) as to their features/functions and indicate which features/functions must be retained after modifications. Answer: Each weapon is equipped with a laser and is tethered with recoil capability. The MP5 and M16A2 each have a semi and auto firing mode. These features need to be retained when the weapons are modified to work on the new systems. Question No. 7: The GFE FATS weapons are tethered. We are assuming that the Government will supply the recoil and gas systems. Please confirm. Answer: Each SCW is tethered, containing a recoil and gas system. The complete SCW will be provided to the contractor for conversion.
