Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding the Naval Surface Warfare, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) VoIP procurement.

• VoIP System Procurement: The government has already procured a VoIP system. They are not seeking bids for a new system.
• Current System: The current system consists of three Cisco BE7M-M5-K9 servers (one Publisher, two Subscribers) connected to the PSTN via a Cisco gateway router using 2 PRIs.
• Future System: The plan is to migrate to three Cisco BE7M-M7-K9 servers and connect to the PSTN via a replacement Cisco gateway router using a SIP trunk.
• Support Needed: The government requires architecture, design, and operational support to integrate multiple remote sites into their existing VoIP deployment, which is currently being modernized.
• Pilot System: An existing pilot system is servicing two buildings. Users will be migrated to the enterprise deployment once licensing is in place.
• Legacy System: Remaining users are still on ISDN-based Tone Commanders connected to a Verizon 5ESS fiber remote. The goal is to migrate these users to the existing VoIP enterprise deployment.

This Q&A clarifies that the procurement is not for a new VoIP system but for support services related to an already procured and partially deployed system. Bidders should adjust their understanding of the opportunity based on this clarification.

• Applicable Documents: References numerous government and non-government standards (e.g., ASME, ISO, FAR, DFARS) that bidders must adhere to when preparing TDPs.
• TDP Levels: Outlines three levels of TDPs (Conceptual, Developmental, Product) based on the progression of a design from inception to production.
• TDP Types: Details 2D and 3D TDPs, including various formats for 3D models (native, viewable, neutral).
• TDP Elements: Lists the components that constitute a TDP, such as engineering design data, specifications, and quality assurance provisions.
• Data Management: Describes TDP data management products like Technical Data Package Lists (TDPLs) and Source Control Approval Requests.
• Preparation & Management: Provides guidance on using existing data, language requirements, and protecting classified information.
• TDP Option Selection Worksheet: A critical tool (DD Form 2554) used to specify TDP requirements, tailoring, and elements for inclusion in contracts.

This standard is crucial for any opportunity that requires the submission of technical data, drawings, specifications, or other product definition information. Bidders must understand these requirements to accurately prepare and submit proposals that meet the government's technical data needs.
