Please see attached. ***Updated 2/24/21 To answer the following questions asked: 1.) What testing will be performed by the government vs. by the manufacturer? The Government will perform all testing, including conformal coating. The Government will return any failed CCAs to the vendor for repair. 2.) What is the NSN for part number 7572262-9? There's no NSN for the CCA p/n 7572262-9. 3.) Can the gerber files needed for this solicitation please be uploaded? We are finallizing gathering the files and will get them uploaded ASAP. Once uploaded all vendors interested will need to request access. ***Updated 2/24/21 to add the following statement in regards to the gerber files: Once your restricted access has been approved for the FY21-19865 Drawings pdf under attachments, please reach out to Brian Carpenter at contact@example.gov to request the gerber files. They will then be sent via secure format to the requesting email. ***Updated 2/26/21 to answer the following questions asked: 1.) The process is calling out for both conductive and non-conductive fill. Can the non-conductive fill be changed to solder mask fill? The drawing specifically says to use a non-conductive resin. Please build in accordance with the drawings. 2.) On drawing 7572257, note 5a states that the board manufacturer shall select materials to meet the requirements specified. Under note 5b, it states that Prepreg material shall conform to standards. Our suppliers have come back to us requesting exact stack ups calling out the core thicknesses and prepregs. Our suppliers have come back stating that they can control necessary impedance, but there are varying parameters to get this result. Therefore, UST is requesting stack up documentation calling out the core thicknesses and Prepregs. Please advise if you can provide this information to us. The board manufacturer should recommend a stack-up that meets the requirements of the drawing. We can review and approve if needed. 3.) Is it okay if we use different manufacturers for a part if it is the same part number? Example: on the 7572256-9 parts list P/N: CWR09HC106KB has the change code for AVX but Kemet also make the same part and it is identical. See attached. Can we use the other part? No, it is not ok to use a part from a different manufacturer. ***Updated 3/3/21 to incorporate the following changes: 1.)
