All questions submitted to this office are subject to be posted in this notice along with the appropriate response(s). Vendor identities will not be disclosed. Q&A 1. It appears that this is a one-time "Urgent" requirement for a total of 48 gearboxes, is that correct? A) FA8118-12-Q-0008 was issued as an urgent, fixed quantity Request for Quote (RFQ). Specific work requirements and quantities can be found in the RFQ and attachments. 2. Is there a possibility for more of the same [gearboxes], or will Alabama Aircraft Industries continue to overhaul these gearboxes under contract FA8118-10-D-0043? A) Contract FA8118-10-D-0043 has expired. The Government is currently researching the possibility of soliciting another requirements type effort for the remanufacture of these gearboxes. 3. The DFARS indicates a ninth position of "Q" in the procurement instrument identification # is for "RFQ--Manual" as opposed to what I normally see as a "R." What's the difference between "R" & "Q" identifiers, and what does the suffix "Manual" indicate? A) The procurement instrument identification number (PIIN) for the current action is FA8118-12-Q-0008. The PIIN is also commonly referred to as the solicitation number before award and then the contract number after award. The ninth position of the PIIN in this instance is "Q" (the dashes are not counted as positions). As shown in DFARS 204.7003, A "Q" indicates that the document is a Request for Quote (RFQ) and a "R" indicates that the document is a Request for Proposal (RFP). The main determining factor of whether the solicitation is a RFP or RFQ is the specific part of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) utilized in the acquisition. RFQs are used when utilizing FAR part 13, Simplified Acquisition. RFPs are used for negotiated acquisitions, FAR part 15. The automatic or manual suffix indicates whether the specific PIIN is an agency generated form (automatic) or a standard form such as the SF18 (manual). For the current acquisition, the Government will be using procedures in FAR Part 13, as supplemented. Therefore, a RFQ was issued.
