11 2 Q: can the GPO please confirm if cover pages and table of contents are included in the stted page counts?

A: No they are not included in the counted pages

Can the GPO please confirm that third party lab testing and certifications can be placed in a separate attachment and will not count against page limits?

Some testing reports can be more than 40 pages and cannot be broken apart per the testing laboratory’s labelling that would severely limit vendors' ability to provide robust responses

The testing results can be in a separate addendum that do not count towards page count

19 3 Q: Is there an alternative method of secure transmission of the RFI detail other than

USB?

A: Password protected PDF is acceptable

1. Can the GPO please confirm that it is acceptable to only provide the USB PDF password in the email submission since vendors cannot include it with the USBs and hard copies package because it would not be secure?

2. If so, can the GPO please confirm that a separate page would not count against the page limitation?

Passwords fro the USB drives can be submitted via email to lash@gpo.gov. The separate page with the passwords would not count against the page limitations.
