This means that the DT-592D hydrophone must withstand the Underwater Explosive Shock Testing for "Grade A" items without physical damage and it must subsequently meet all the operational performance requirements. Meeting all the environmental qualification requirements has proved to be a challenge even for the most experienced contractors. Each potential offeror shall answer the following technical questions to demonstrate its understanding of the DT-592D hydrophone design: •1) Briefly explain the ceramic element design and quadrant poling configuration needed to maximize receive sensitivity. •2) Briefly explain how extraneous vibration modes in the sensor will be controlled via a tuning process to insure that the circumferential modes are not adversely affected. •3) Briefly explain what design measures will be used to insure that the unit will survive explosive shock testing and exhibit full performance after (Grade A performance). In addition, each potential offeror shall provide the following: •· Statement regarding contractor's capability to obtain a facility clearance at the confidential level. Statement regarding capability to obtain the required industrial security clearances for personnel. Contractor's expected period of performance from contract award to delivery of first article and production DT-592D hydrophones. Description of the test facilities and equipment to which the contractor has access in order to meet the procurement requirements. If the potential offeror does not own its facilities and equipment, the offeror shall provide evidence that it will have a commitment or an arrangement to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities and equipment.
