View moreThe purpose of this update is to upload solicitation amendment 0001 as an attachment and to answer the following industry questions:
Question. Is there a proposal template with format and content for our response, in addition to the requirements included in the Solicitation document, starting on Page 95, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS?
Answer. There is no proposal template.
Question. Is PRO 20 Molding Certification required?
Answer. PRO 20 Molding Certification is not required for the HFSA Windows.
Question. Table 5, pg. 17 of the performance spec indicates Govt Responsibility for Shock Testing and Analysis, but the text in Section 4.2.2.3.2 and 4.2.2.3.3 indicates Contractor Responsibility. If the Contractor is responsible for shock qualification, by analysis or testing, as indicated in Sections 4.2.2.3.2 and 4.2.2.3.3, and not as indicated in Table 5, we would propose shock qualification by analysis only. Is this acceptable?
Answer. Yes, this is acceptable.
Question. We would like to receive more information on the condition of the GFE molds to be provided, including photos and quality inspection data, if available, to ensure tooling quality and that no rework is required.
Answer. No, we do not have this information to provide.
Question. Are the government documents and drawings listed on Page 2 of the Performance Specification document available?
Answer. The NAVSEA drawings are available and are uploaded as attachments to this notice. The other government documents will not be provided.
Question. In the RFP, Section F (p. 37) Clause 52.211-8 Time of Delivery. The RFP allows the submittal of a proposed delivery schedule that does not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified as long as justification is submitted. However, it is unclear whether proposing a delivery schedule outside of the required delivery period is part of the evaluation criteria for award. It is not listed in the "Pass-Fail Requirements" nor specifically in the Evaluation Factors for Award. Request clarification. What is the impact of proposing and providing justification for a delivery schedule outside of the required specified delivery period?
Answer. The RFP has now been amended, adding Delivery Schedule as a Pass/Fail Requirement.
Question. In the RFP, Section I (pp. 51-52). Request confirmation that since this solicitation is full and open competition, certified cost or pricing data is not required and that FAR 52.215-13 Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data – Modifications (Oct 2021) and FAR 52.215-21 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data (Nov 2021) are not applicable.
Answer. Certified cost or pricing data is not required for this solicitation. FAR 52.215-13 'Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data - Modifications (Deviation 2022-O0001) (Oct 2021)' and FAR 52.215-21 Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data--Modifications (Nov 2021) refer to future contract modifications, if necessary.
Question. In the RFP, Section L, paragraph 4.0 (p. 101). The requirements for the Price volume (Volume 5) only includes filling in the completed solicitation for CLIN 0001 (unit price and amount), and the pricing tables for CLINs 0002-0007 in Section B. Request confirmation that no additional cost or pricing information is required in response to this solicitation.
Answer. No additional cost or pricing information is required in response to this solicitation, other than filling in the unit price and amount for CLIN 0001 and the pricing tables for CLINs 0002-0007.
Question. Offers to this solicitation are due on December 6, 2022. The response time period from the solicitation posting on November 2nd includes the Thanksgiving holiday week. Based on the number of personnel out of the office during that week, the significant effort required in drafting and reviewing the Technical Capability volume, and slower than expected responses in receiving quotations from potential material suppliers, we request a two week extension on the proposal due date.
Answer. Proposal due date extended by two weeks.

Solicitation N6660423R0026 is released and is attached as part of this notice. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, RI has a requirement for build-to-performance High Frequency Sail Array (HFSA) Sonar Windows and associated build-to-print test panels, as specified in the attached solicitation.
Award of a single, Firm Fixed Price (FFP), five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for the HFSA Sonar Windows that meet the performance requirements of the HFSA Sonar Window Performance Specification is anticipated.
The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) has issued solicitation N6660423R0026 for the manufacture of build-to-performance High Frequency Sail Array (HFSA) Sonar Windows and associated build-to-print test panels. This procurement is for search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical system and instrument manufacturing under NAICS code 334511 and PSC code 5845 for underwater sound equipment. The government intends to award a single, firm-fixed-price, five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to a provider capable of meeting the HFSA Sonar Window Performance Specification.
The scope of work requires the contractor to perform first article testing, though the government reserves the right to repeat specific tests such as shock analysis. Technical requirements include operating temperature tests for representative 36-inch by 36-inch acoustic aperture panels and fatigue loading tests for sub-element panels containing edge bands and bolt holes. Shock qualification may be completed through analysis rather than physical testing. The government will provide certain molds as government-furnished equipment and has released relevant NAVSEA drawings as part of the solicitation.
Proposals are due by December 20, 2022, following a two-week extension from the original deadline. The evaluation includes pass/fail requirements, which now incorporate the proposed delivery schedule as a factor. Offerors must provide pricing for CLIN 0001 and completion of pricing tables for CLINs 0002 through 0007; however, certified cost or pricing data is not required for this solicitation. Carrie Rochelle is the point of contact for this requirement, which includes ten total attachments such as the Performance Based Payment Schedule, Government Furnished Property list, and the HFSA Sonar Window Performance Specification.
