ANSWER - No. NATO rounds are not interchangeable

with SAAMI specifications identified in the

Statement of Work (SOW) paragraph 2.2, page 48.

3.QUESTION - Part D, Page 51 Paragraph 3.6

Accuracy: How will FLETC evaluate the accuracy

requirement? Will test barrels or firearms be

utilized?

ANSWER - The contractor will perform their own

testing and certify product meets the SOW

specifications. That certification is part of

the technical proposal submission identified on

Page 61, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)

Clause 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors

-Commercial Items, Addendum to paragraph (b)

Submission of Offers.

4.QUESTION - Part D, Page 50 - Paragraph 3.2.2:specifies quantity requirements for packaged

rifle and shotgun ammunition but allows for an

exception to the requirements, provided that the

actual quantities are clearly marked on the

package. Paragraph 3.2.1 specifies quantity

requirements for handgun CLTA (50 per box) but

does not explicitly provide for the same sort of

exception. Several of our products, which

otherwise meet or exceed the requirements of this

specification, are packaged 25 rounds to a box.

Q: Will the government accept handgun CLTA in

packaging other than 50 round boxes if the actual

quantity is clearly marked on the package, in thesame manner as specified for rifle and shotgun

CLTA in paragraph 3.2.2?

ANSWER - No. For clarification we are purchasing

training rounds only and not duty rounds as

specified in Part D, SOW paragraph 1.0.

5.QUESTION - Part D, Page 50 - Paragraph 3.5,

Reliability: This paragraph discusses reliability

but specifies only that CLTA must perform in a

satisfactory manner in any training weapon,

regardless of the manufacturer. Paragraph 3.8.2

states that "The training field failure rate for

CLTA attributable to the CLTA is not more than 1

failure per 10,000 rounds". At the same time, all

of the ammo sought under this solicitation is

manufactured in accordance with SAAMI

specifications, including specifications for

reliability.

Q: Will the government require submissions to

comply with SAAMI standards for reliability and

rank each manufacturers submission according to

their degree of adherence to that standard?

ANSWER - SAAMI ensures reliability by setting

uniform standards for consistency in the

manufacturing process. The `failure rate'

standard of 1 failure per 10,000 is specified by

FLETC for CLTA. Bidders will be evaluated on

their technical submission and certifications

attesting to the adherence to the specifications

outlined in the solicitation which includes

manufacturing according to the reference SAAMI

specifications.

6.QUESTION - Part D, Page 50 - Paragraph 3.6,

Accuracy:Paragraph 3.6 and subsequent sub-paragraphs

define the procedures for accuracy testing. For

each category of CLTA (with the exception of 12

gauge shotshell) a single group of rounds will be

fired. In our experience, a single group of

rounds is an insufficient sample from which to

determine the inherent accuracy of any particular

round, unless those rounds are fired from an

accuracy test barrel and fixture.

Q: Will accuracy testing be conducted from a

fixtured accuracy barrel? If testing is to be

done from the shoulder, will the government

consider firing multiple groups for testingpurposes?

ANSWER - See response to Question #3, above.

7. QUESTION - CLIN XX09, Page 3: CLIN XX09 calls

for a 12 GA Target #7, 2 3/4 inch. To our

knowledge no one currently makes a 12 GA #7

target load. Several manufacturers do make a 12

GA #7 Target load.

Q: Can the government clarify whether it is

seeking a 12 GA #7 Target load or a 12 GA #7

Target load?

ANSWER - CLIN XX09 should read 12 GA #7 (or

7.5) Target Load. Make pen and ink change to the

affected Schedule B pages provided for

information purposes only.

8.QUESTION: Can we bid equals or exact only?

ANSWER - Bid according the schedule unless a

substitute item is identified by amendment or by

a change in the schedule. However, Step 1

Technical proposals is not to contain any pricing

information.

9.QUESTION: Can we leave out shotgun ammo?

ANSWER - Reference solicitation paragraph

F.4.c.2, page 53, which states "No bidder is

required to submit a bid on all line items nor is

the Government required to order all types of

CLTA as shown on any resultant contract(s)."

B. Closing date for receipt of Step 1 Technical

Proposals remains unchanged.
