**AMENDMENT 0005:**

**Updated Solicitation Questions and Responses, 8 February 2024:** Solicitation Questions (Q) and Responses (R) *PLEASE NOTE* to reference the current, updated Statement of Work (SOW) and documents. The previous documents are no longer applicable. This solicitation is not being extended at this time.

**1. Q:** In looking at the bills of materials on the two assemblies, there are a combined total of 12 drawings referenced. However, the drawing package only has 9 drawings.

**R:** One of the 12 drawings is listed two times. The other two are reference (REF) drawings, which are not required. The ADU-1009/E Fixture is used for the proofload testing of the HLU-432/E and HLU-465/E Hoisting Beams. They are listed as Find #s 7 & 8 (on dwg 80202534600) as reference only, and are not required for proofload testing of the actual ADU-1009/E Fixture (P/N 802025345600-1). Note 1 means that the NAVAIR AG-ALQ99-PTS-000 will need to be consulted if the actual Hoisting Beams (432 & 465s) require proofload testing – not the Fixture.

**2. Q:** The original test fixture construction was based on using a tube with brackets as the load testing fixture.

**R:** Please refer only to the revised SOW and documents. Previous documents are no longer applicable.

**3. Q:** Are CAD files available for all detail Part Nos and Assemblies? Is CAD files are available, what takes precedence in manufacturing and inspection? The CAD file or the drawings?

**R:** Models and dwgs available for the TDP of the ADU-1009/E Fixture. Natives are Solid Edge with general formats also available. Parasolid for the 3D and DXF for the 2D. The dwgs are priority over models.

**4. Q:** Section F for CLIN 0001 through 0003 identifies delivery date of 90 days after First Article Testing approval. When does the date begin? Based on CDRL A001, A002, and A006 FAT approval occurs after PCA and Static Load testing.

**R:** Expectations are set for 360 days after date of contract award. This accounts for the following:

a. 90 days for the contractor to submit First Articles.

b. 60 days for the government to test then provide written report to contracting officer.

c. 210 days for remaining delivery of production quantities (assuming First Articles pass initial testing)

**5. Q:** CDRL A001, A002, and A005 identify First Article Inspection/Test by Government. Who is defined as the government (NAVAIR quality representative or local DCMA QAR, etc.)? Are to assume “Other testing” the government only wants to see test results, etc. and not witness. Depending on the answer, it may affect our proposed delivery schedule due to various in-process hold points, etc. R: “The Government” is defined as NAVAIR attendance, with additional DCMA, to witness testing.

**6. Q:** Please confirm only Part HLU-465 Hoisting Beam (CDRL A001) is the only Part that needs to delivered to the Gov’t Testing location in Crane, IN?

**R:** All testing will be completed at the contractors facility, as outlined in the revised SOW.
