Questions received after 4 August 2015 shall be addressed in a subsequent amendment. Solicitation Documentation Changes: Standard Form 33 (SF33), Section 9 response time and date changed to 12:00PM (noon) Eastern Standard, 17 August 2015. Section J, Attachment #1- FWS-S Purchase Description (PD), Table 4.6-1 Inspection Matrix, has been revised to clarify responsibility for verification of the Weapon/ FWS-S Accuracy requirement (see response to Question #56 for details). An answer to question #56 was deferred in the previous amendment, so is answered via Amendment 0005. NOTE: The revised Attachment #1- FWS-S PD dated 4 August 2015 is a restricted distribution attachment. The revised FWS-S PD shall be provided to offerors via AMRDEC SAFE distribution. To request the updated FWS-S PD, contact administrative POC Mr. Steven Lopez: email Steen.E.Lopez3ctr@mail.mil and CC Contract Specialist Mr. Andrew Mitchell: email Andrew.C.Mitchell1.civ@mail.mil.

Section J, Attachment #1, FWS-S Purchase Description has been revised to remove Para 3.7.9.3 Blowing Rain (Objective) from the body of the Purchase Description and from Table 4.6-1 to eliminate redundancy. The test methodology for paragraph 3.7.9.1 Rain, is governed by MIL-STD-810G with Change 1, Method 506.6, Procedure I, which calls out both wind and rain conditions for the testing. A separate blowing rain test would be redundant.

Section J, Attachment #1, FWS-S Purchase Description, Para 3.7.17 and Tables 3.7.17-1, 4.6-1 and 4.6-3 have been modified to clarify live fire testing requirements (see responses to Question #42 and #43 for details).

Section L, Paragraph 1.1.1.1.2 is amended to add the following: quote mark All Offerors are advised that ASSIST2Industry has been updated and it is now the responsibility of PRIME Contractors to establish accounts for their SUBCONTRACTORS to respond to Government ENs. A separate area within ASSIST2Industry has been created to allow authorized Subcontractor POCs to upload proposal files only. Subcontractors will not be able to access any other information on the ASSIST2Industry website (e.g. Questions/Evaluation Notices, Responses, etc.). Once a Subcontractor has been added, they will receive a user ID (e.g. subcontractor0001) and password (an initial password) that will be sent via two separate system generated e-mails. A Subcontractor will have one user ID for all PRIMES and solicitation responses, i.e. if you are a Subcontractor to multiple Prime Contractors and multiple solicitation responses, you will only have one user ID. Once an account has been established for the Subcontractor, go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil access the account. Prime Contractors will only be able to see the number of files submitted by their Subcontractors; but, will be UNABLE TO VIEW the Subcontractor's files. NOTE: Both Prime Contractors and Subcontractors are instructed to review the ASSIST2Industry User's Guide, located under the quote mark Getting Started quote mark tab on the website. The guide has been updated and provides step by step instructions on how to perform functions and navigate the website.
