Description

View Changes UPDATE 02
Released 10/28/2024
The purpose of this update is to provide Q&A.
The soliciation due date is not changed as a result of this update. 

Q1)  Just to be clear, the essence of the solicitation is that you want a vendor to produce Form/Fit/Function circuit card assemblies (CCA) (resolving the obsolescence issues within the CCAs) for the various power supplies and deliver the CCAs to the FAA.  Will installation of the CCA then be conducted by FAA employees? 
FAA RESPONSE: Yes, the FAA intends to install the kits with our own personnel using the technical data and installation procedures obtained from this procurement. The FAA is seeking kits to update the existing power supply modules replacing the existing hardware with modern hardware. The kit is to include any material (parts, components, CCA, etc.), installation procedures, verification of function and adherence to the SOW, and anything else needed for the FAA to install the kit into the existing power supply. This may be a FFF CCA or a FFF redesign. The design will be held on fitting in the module housing and the module then meeting the FFF qualifications.
 
Q2)  Each of the CCA drawings refence another drawing number for the schematic diagram of the CCA.  Do you have those drawings?  Also, do you have any of the Gerber files for the CCAs?
FAA RESPONSE: The FAA has provided all technical data we possess for production of these kits. No further design or technical data is anticipated to be available for the awarded contractor. Schematics were added to the announcement in ‘Update 01’ below.

Q3)  Since there are no production quantities listed in this solicitation, are the production quantities expected to be the same as stated in the Sources Sought?
FAA RESPONSE: No, there are no production quantities with this requirement. This requirement is now first articles in quantities specified in the SIR and data deliverables only.

Q4)  Regarding this design, are we designing this or is it already designed we’re adding things to it?
FAA RESPONSE: The FAA is seeking kits to update the existing power supply modules replacing the existing hardware with modern hardware.
