7. Q. The equipment list provided in the PWS does not have quantities. Does each of the 24 rooms have the same list of equipment, or is there just a quality of one (1) for each of the pieces listed in the solicitation?

A. The PWS 2.0 indicates that the equipment in all seminar rooms are quite similar. The equipment list in the loaded PWS identifies the type of equipment. So, no it is not just one quantity (1), for each of the pieces listed in the solicitation. There are #24 rooms all containing similar equipment set ups. I have attached a revised Equipment List that identifies quantities, as noted on the list the information provided is to the best of our current situational awareness, and no deviations plus or minus binds the government in anyway.
