Q:The current RFQ is limited to engineering services and development of the drawing package, with a separate RFQ anticipated for the subsequent production effort, including material procurement, removals, and installations. Please confirm whether award of the engineering RFQ would preclude the successful offeror from proposing on or receiving an award under the subsequent production RFQ, including any restrictions related to organizational conflicts of interest (OCI). A: Award under the current RFQ will not, by itself, automatically preclude the successful offeror from competing for a future production requirement. The Government anticipates reviewing and approving the drawings, specifications, and BOM developed under this effort before their use in any subsequent production solicitation. To the extent a future production solicitation is issued, the Government intends to provide the applicable Government-approved technical requirements to prospective offerors on an equal basis. The Government reserves the right to evaluate and address any OCI identified in connection with a future production solicitation in accordance with applicable procurement regulations.
