Question Submitted:

The Specification and Attachment 1 appears to be no distinction between Factory Acceptance Testing (SOW 3.4), Design Verification Tests (First Article) (SOW 3.4.2) and Production Acceptance Testing (SOW 4.0). Should there be a subset of the requirements in the Specification that should be tested on every Production unit once the design is qualified on the first articles as is typically the case?

Response Received:

The 3.4.2 First Article testing, CDRL A002, demonstrates the design requirements have been satisfied. The 3.4.3 Environmental testing, CDRL A005, demonstrates the First Article satisfies environmental requirements. The 4.0 Production testing, using CDRL A002 does not include the environmental component for production units and may be trimmed down to demonstrate the unit is functioning properly. Once units are qualified, ATP’s for production units can be more basic (functional and operational).

Question Submitted:

1. Is a separate test procedure required for First Article and Environmental Testing as referenced in SOW Para. 3.4.2 and 3.4.3? 2. Per SOW Para. 3.1.2, a Technical Data Package is required to included a mounting and outline drawing along with necessary information to install, repair, troubleshoot and operate the hardware. What is the expectation of the contractor for this manual?

Response Received:

1. The 3.4.2 First Article testing, CDRL A002, demonstrates the design requirements have been satisfied. The 3.4.3 Environmental testing, CDRL A005, demonstrates the First Article satisfies environmental requirements. The 4.0 Production testing, using CDRL A002 does not include the environmental component for production units and may be trimmed down to demonstrate the unit is functioning properly. Once units are qualified, ATP’s for production units can be more basic (functional and operational). 2. Full installation and repair manual is not required. The Navy is looking for drawings, basic troubleshooting information (i.e. BIT light definitions) to include in the Navy's system manuals. This power supply will be an LRU and not repaired in the field.

Question Submitted:

Please confirm the Navy has NAWCAD 43603-01440 (System Specifications for 6U VME64X Subtrack Power Supply (PS) for Automatic Carrier Landing System AN/SPN-46 (V), Rev. 1.1, 23 August 2021.

Response Received:

Yes, the Navy has this document, however it is considered export controlled. In order for the Navy to release it to your company, the company needs to submit a current and valid DD2345. Please see the Buy terms for further instructions on how to do this.

Question Submitted:

The specification calls for 2500Vdc isolation from input to case and our proposed solution would provide 2150Vdc. Would this be acceptable?

Response Received:

Yes, down to 2000Vdc is acceptable.

Question Submitted:

Can the submittal date for the DD2345 be extended?

Response Received:

At this time, the submittal dates for the questions, DD2345, and buy end date will NOT be extended due to the restrictive timeframe for award.

Question Submitted:

1. Please confirm that the TDP does not require complete information for manufacturing the hardware developed. 2. Please clarify if DID DI-MISC-80508B is correct for CDRL A003. 3. Can the Government please provide the RVTM document to assist in bid generation? 4. Can the Navy provide specific examples of shipboard qualified OTS module technology and clarify what is meant by "Navy shipboard qualified"?

Response Received:

1. That is correct. The Navy is looking for user-level data that can be included in Government technical manuals. 2. Yes, that is correct. 3. Yes, this was provided. 4. The Government is asking vendors to use OTS components that have passed Navy shipboard testing (shock, vibration, EMI, temperature, humidity, power) and bee approved for use, as applicable.

Question Submitted:

1. The System Integration Test requires a production representative test fixture. Will this be GFE or is it required to be provided by the contractor? 2. Does the Navy require or desire contractor participation of any testing at a Government facility, such as LSTF Functional and Performance test?

Response Received:

1. The PSA will be tested using SCD-00470265-02 filter, EMI, Power, 60 Hz Single Phase to pre-condition the primary power. These will be provided to the awardee. 2. It is not required.

Question Submitted:

Can the reference documents within the Specification that have proprietary markings be provided?

Response Received:

The documents were inadvertently marked proprietary and they are not. They will be provided upon request.

Question Submitted:

1. Is the First Article Test Report the same as "contactor PPUs qualification test" and subsequent report? 2. If the two PPUs/FAT Units/EDMs are due 52 weeks after receipt of order, please clarify when the First Article Test Report is due. 3. CDRL A005 Qualification Test Report is due 30 days after receipt of order per the CDRL. Please clarify if this report is part of the First Article report and when it is due.

Response Received:

1.Yes 2.The awarded contract will reflect 90 days after completion of EDM. 3. First Article/DVT and Qualification Test Report shall be due 90 days after completion of EDM units.

Question Submitted:

1. The OTS module technology connector shall be used that meets the voltage and current requirements. Is this statement referring to the PSA connector J3? Can the part number for the mating connector to J3 (P3) be provided to ensure appropriate mating and V/I capacity? 2. Attachment 1, specification VMEPS02 indicates operation from 85-265 VAC and 47-440Hz, verified through the ATP. Is it required to test at the extremes of both voltage and current simultaneously? 3. Would a solution that can reach 440 Hz at 250 VAC but only 360 Hz and the full 265 VAC be acceptable? 4. Specification VMEPS15 and VMEPS16 require load and line regulation of 02% respectively. Is the regulated voltage measured at the output of the PSA? If not, please specify where the voltage should be measured to verify operation to these specs.

Response Received:

1. Yes, p/n M24308/4-5F, 50 pin contacts p/n M39029/64-369 2. No 3. Yes, that would be acceptable. 4. Yes, output.

Question Submitted:

Can the Requirements Verification Test Matrix (RVTM) in an Excel spreadsheet document be provided to support bid generation?

Response Received:

Yes, this document can be provided to those companies that submit or have already submitted a valid and current DD2345 since this document is considered export controlled. This document will be released with the other export controlled documents once a current and valid DD2345 has been received.

Question Submitted:

Is the email address correct in the Buy Terms - Export Control Information section?

Response Received:

There is a typo in the email address in the Buy Terms - Export Control Information. The email address should be lisa.m.winkler.civ@us.navy.mil.

Question Submitted:

Please provide guidance on how to find the NAWCAD 43603-01440 specification.

Response Received:

This document is considered export controlled. Please refer back to the 'Buy Terms - Export Control Information' section to understand how to obtain this documentation.
