Government response to question(s) from Vendor:
Questions 1: Is cadmium used in the design? If so, is the Navy willing to choose an alternate coating given that cadmium is a carcinogen?
Government Response: Using zinc or another similar coating with the same base material is an acceptable deviation but this solution would need to be called out in the proposal and supported with a Request for Variance as part of the proposal package.
Questions 2: Do step files exist for the machined parts? I am guessing no, I but wanted to check first. Most machining today requires step files.
Government Response: Government does not have the step files available for this solicitation.
Questions 3: Is the Navy willing to reimburse *Redacted* for step file development and then *redacted* will supply those files as part of CLIN 0003 Technical Data? *redacted* can include the above-mentioned cost in with the per unit cost or break it out separately.
Government Response: Step file development is not part of this effort.
