This Sources Sought has been updated to include Industry questions and Government responses to those questions. The response date for this Sources Sought has been adjusted to October 17, 2018. 

Industry Questions: 
1. Is the plan to have the Loadmaster CWS mount in the same place as the current seating arrangement? If so, can a few pictures be provided of the current mounting location so that an evaluation can be made whether we can accommodate this notice or not? 

2. This solicitation appears to be a build-to-print contract where the manufacturing drawings are part of the TDP. Can you tell us whether the TDP is complete; that is, does it fully specify all parts adequately for manufacturing purposes? It appears that the solicitation would not allow for non-recurring engineering if needed to determine information that the drawings do not provide. My company is a small business with experience in seat design and manufacturing. This information would affect whether we are able to bid. 

Government Responses: 
1. No, the existing observer seat attaches to the paratroop door. While the seat will be in the same location, the mounting location has changed. 

2. NAVAIR is looking for a build-to-print item, per the completed TDP, which will be provided with the solicitation.
