Questions may be submitted until 27 Feb 19 2:00PM CST. In order to accommodate questions, the response date is extended until 7 Mar 19 as indicated in this amendment. Question 1: Is it the Government's intention to provide the unique IM-SHORAD Stryker A1 Combat Vehicle as Government Furnished Property to support the required production quantity? Answer: No, the Government does not intend to provide the Stryker A1 Combat Vehicle in any configuration, to include the unique IM-SHORAD variant as Government Furnished Property. Questions 2. Will the Government furnish the Interface Control Drawing (ICD) to the unique IM-SHORAD Stryker A1 Combat Vehicle? Answer: No. Question 3. During the IM-SHORAD prototype effort, we were informed by the OEM that parts for the Mode 5 IFF cannot be sold to Industry, please confirm what parts of IFF will be provided GFE so we can determine what we need to provide with our solution? Answer: The USG does not intend to provide IFFs as GFE for the IM-SHORAD production contract. IFFs were provided during the prototype effort because there were only six units in existence; therefore, units were unavailable for the contractors to purchase the systems on their own. The IFFs are currently in production, and are available to be procured from the OEM by contractors. The encryption device can only be procured by the Government and this encryption device will be provided as GFE. Question 4. For better ROM development, please provide additional information on the anticipated delivery schedule between ordering in FY20 and final deliveries in FY24. Is there an expected number of solutions required each year? Answer: Based on battalion fielding dates, anticipated solutions required each year are as follows: FY21 - 36 Units, FY22 - min 36 units to max 72 units, FY23 - min 36 units to max 72 units. Question 5. In order to estimate travel and CLS support where should we assume these vehicles will be fielded. Answer: For the purposes of this RFI, assume BN1 and BN2 will be fielded to EUCOM and BN3 and BN4 will be fielded to FORSCOM. Question 6. The OTA contract is not forecasting a production decision until May 2020. Some components have a 12 month leadtime, resulting in vehicle deliveries in 2021. The RFI states that the USG would like to see vehicle deliveries to begin in FY2020. What production decision and award dates should we assume for this RFI? Answer: For the purposes of this RFI, you can assume a production decision of May 2020. The USG expects the respondent to identify all items with long leadtime for production and CLS spares to propose a realistic fielding date. The ordering period will begin in FY2020 with deliveries beginning in FY2021.
