Answer 4: This requirement is solicited as unrestricted, and the checkmark under clause 52.212-5 which indicates that 52.219-6 applies, is inaccurate. N6660423Q0157 Amendment 0005 will be issued to uncheck the box for 52.219-6 under clause 52.212-5 on 5/2 when the contract writing system is back online.

Answer 5: In accordance with FAR 52.219-9(a), the requirement to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan does not apply to Small Business Concerns (under the solicitation NAICS code).  However, please note that, the Pass/Fail Requirement of Small Business Participation applies to all offerors regardless of size.  N6660423Q0157 Amendment 0005 will be issued to check the box for 52.219-9 under clause 52.212-5 on 5/2 when the contract writing system is back online.

Question 2: p/n 7273879(TSPR2-1) is called out on all drawings, but the manufacturer says that part is obsolete. Do you have a replacement or do we need to find one?
