Question: DSW-1/2 ship as a hull and backup unit that generally includes the Sea Chest Blow Valve DSW-23, which is also within the SUBSAFE boundary also requiring overhaul as part of the valve assembly. However, DSW-23 is not included in the Statement of Work (SOW) for subject RFQ, can the Government please advise if DSW-23 will be shipped with the Diesel Water Valves requiring overhaul per the RFQ SOW? If DSW-23 will be shipped/provided can the Government please advise what the contractor requirement is for DSW-23, if any? Answer: RFQ N00104-23-Q-ZB36 is for NIIN 01-211-8840, DSW-001/002 only. DSW-23 is part of assembly NIIN LL-H85-0708 and is not part of this solicitation. DSW-23 will not be shipped. Question: Maintenance Standard (MS) 3420-081-021 REV E CHG-2, Attachment 2, footnote 2., states "For depot availability, item is a mandatory replacement item, if available." Can the Government please clarify whether or not the valves requested by subject RFQ are considered Depot Availability for both planning and pricing purposes? Answer: Yes, the valves to be repaired in accordance with the contract resulting from RFQ N00104-23-Q-ZB36 are considered Depot Availability for both planning and pricing purposes. Question: In generating pricing for material items noted in MS 3420-081-021 REV E CHG-2, Attachment 2, it has been identified that (4) material items called out on the Maintenance Requirement Parts List are not currently available for Contractor purchase in the Navy Stock System. Does the Government intend to provide items unavailable for Contractor purchase in the Navy Stock System as GFM to the contractor? If not, does the Government intend to request release of these items from the Navy Stock System to allow for C Contractor Purchase? Answer: Material will not be provided as Government Furnished Material (GFM). The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining material from the supply system. NAVSUP WSS plans to authorize utilization of the supply system in accordance with FAR Part 51. The Government does not intend to request release of items from the Navy Stock System. Question: In the event existing material requires refurbishment due to lack of availability from the Navy Stock System or alternate source and a non-NOTE 5000 Approved activity (i.e. Subcontractor) is required for refurbishment, will the Government allow for the use of either an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Navy Process Certified vendor for refurbishment? Answer: Section L, paragraph WSSTERMLZ02 - QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL FORLEVEL I/SUBSAFE/DSS-SOC/FLY-BY-WIRE PROGRAMS - INSTRUCTION, requires the contractor to provide their Quality Assurance Manual. Certified SUBSAFE Activities per NAVSEA NOTE 5000 are approved to perform work for the Corporate Component Repair Program (CCRP) by way of being qualified as a Designated Overhaul Point (DOP). It is acceptable to cite the NAVSEA NOTE 5000 and CCRP DOP approval letters in way of submitting the Quality Assurance Manual in response to subject RFQ. The NAVSUP WSS LI/SS QA department reserves the right to verify/request the latest revision to the QA Manual as required by the Level I NAVSEA Material Control Program. The revised contract TDP language listed below for the Factory Pool Serial Number marking requirements replaces the current language in RFQ N00104-23-Q-ZB35. 3.6 CCRP Serial Number: The Corporate Component Repair Program (CCRP) Serial Number is a unique and permanent serial number assigned by the DOP that originally inducted the component into the CCRP program. Refer to UIPI Enclosure (4) for organic shipyard alphanumeric serial numbers. The CCRP serial number may also be referred to as the Factory Pool (FP) number and is also unique and permanent. 3.6.1 CCRP Serial Numbering Requirements: For commercial contractors authorized as a DOP, if the CCRP asset received does not contain an existing Factory Pool number, the refurbishing DOP will induct the CCRP asset into the program for the first time utilizing the alphanumeric serialization system below and must be permanently scribed on the asset's major pressure boundary part (e.g. valve body). Otherwise, use the existing CCRP Factory Pool Serial number. 3.6.2 For commercial DOP contractors, when there is no existing CCRP FP serial number, theDOP must assign a unique and permanent CCRP Factory Pool serial number consisting of the following 4 parts as follows: FP-AAAAA-YY-XXXX a. "FP" for identification to the Factory Pool Corporate Component Repair Program (CCRP). b. "AAAAA" is the contractor's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. c. "YY" is the two digit year of the completed overhaul date. d. "XXXX" is the unique DOP sequential number assigned by the DOP. Each commercial activity will use 0001-9999 for their refurbishments since the CAGE Code part of the FP number plus the sequential number will uniquely identify the refurbished component. DOP must maintain a permanent log of all new FP serial numbers they assigned. 3.6.3 The refurbishing DOP must permanently attach a metal tag as shown in UIPI Enclosure (4) to identify the unique and permanent CCRP (FP) Serial Number, the NSN, SMS, SMS revision and the overhauling activity and fiscal year (FY) for all refurbished CCRP assets. 3.6.4 Refer to UIPI 0810-902 for all additional requirements for marking the CCRP Serial Number.
