There will be classified attachments for the solicitation phase. Technical documents and other Government Furnished Information (GFI) will be provided by mail as well as in a library (referred to as the "Bidder's Library"), located on the Naval Systems Engineering Resource Center (NSERC) website, with restricted access. Interested parties in receipt of the GFI provided as part of the most recent upload to the Bidder's Library on 7 November 2019 do not need to re-request GFI intended to be mailed as they are already in receipt of the most current data, and should only check the online Bidder's Library for any potential additional GFI. Responses to Bidder's Questions submitted against the draft RFP are included as an attachment with this post. Additionally, a letter signed by the Contracting Officer which outlines the current data rights is also attached with this post. This letter may be used to support industry efforts obtaining quotes for parts contained in the TDP. GFI ACCESS: Offerors will be required to have an NSERC account to gain access and view the documentation in the Bidder's Library. Attachment J-S3 of this pre-solicitation notice provides offerors with the necessary steps to obtain both an NSERC account and approval to access to the Bidder's Library, as well as to receive mailed GFI. IMPORTANT: In order to receive GFI and be considered for contract award, each company must have a SECRET facility clearance before receipt of GFI. Therefore, prime contractors interested in bidding under any subsequent solicitation must be able to receive classified documents up to the SECRET level and must be a United States (U.S.) company or an independent U.S. subsidiary. Offerors must be a United States (U.S.) company or an independent U.S. subsidiary, although the Navy will consider foreign contractors acting as subcontractors to U.S. prime contractors. The export of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data is subject to the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and requires the issuance of an export license by the U.S. Department of State. Contractors interested in receiving these documents shall complete Attachment J-1, DD Form 254 (Contract Security Classification Specification), Attachment J-S4 (Classified Terms of Use Agreement), Attachment J-S5 (Unclassified Terms of Use Agreement), and Attachment J-S6 (Classified Material Request) attached to this solicitation notice.
