Question 56 asked about ODC pricing and IHS responded positively to require the ODC pricing for cloud hosting and software services required to execute the contract.

Due to decisions and capacity planning required in collaboration of IHS, we are requesting to limit the ODC pricing to the plug-in numbers provided by the IHS as part of the RFP.

The ODC amounts listed in Attachment B – Pricing Spreadsheet can be used as a plug number in the vendor’s price response.
