| Question | 1: | | Would | the | government | allow | vendors | to | submit | optional | pricing | outside | of | the | CLIN |
| structure | outlined | on | page | 1? | Optional | pricing | would | be | used | for | ad‐hoc | services | such | as | platform |
| implementation, | additional | user | training, | and | other | additional | services. | | | | | | | | |
Answer: Yes, but please use the updated pricing structure below for quotation submission:
| 00001 | Survey | Software | – | 0‐15,000 | total | responses, | unlimited | surveys | |

| Question | 2: | | Will | the | government | allow | for | multiple | pricing | submissions | to | provide | different | levels |
| of | analytical | and | security | capabilities | for | the | government | to | select | from? | | | | |
Answer: No. Only FedRamp certified software will be accepted.
| Question | 3: | | Our | software | is | sold | on | a | per | user | basis | ‐ | meaning | on | the | basis | of | the | number | of | users |
| who | will | be | using | the | software | to | develop, | send | and | gain | insight | from | the | surveys | and | data | | | | | |
| collections. | Would | you | be | able | to | provide | us | with | the | number | of | users | who | would | be | accessing | the | | | | |
| software | so | that | we | can | provide | you | with | the | most | accurate | quote | possible? | | | | | | | | | |
| Answer: | | it | is | unknown | how | many | users | will | be | actively | using | the | software, | and | such, | there | should | | |
| be | no | limit | on | the | number | of | users | who | have | access | to | the | software, | but | we | do | not | anticipate | more |
| than | 30 | users | requiring | access | to | the | software, | with | 5‐10 | users | using | it | regularly, | though. | | | | | |
Important Notes:
| The | Government | is | looking | to | procure | survey | software | based | on | number | of | responses, | not | |
| responses | per | survey. | We | anticipate | creating | and | distributing | numerous | surveys | with | varying | | | |
| response | sizes, | and | therefore | will | be | purchasing | responses | in | blocks | of | 15,000. | The | Government, | |
| after | purchasing | an | initial | block | of | 15,000 | responses, | reserves | the | right | to | purchases | as | many |
| additional | blocks | of | 15,000 | responses | as | it | requires, | but | additional | response | blocks | after | the | initial |
| purchase | of | 15,000 | are | not | guaranteed. | | | | | | | | | |
| The | software | we | are | looking | for | is | completely | internet | based, | and | needs | to | be | able | to | be | logged | into |
| by | any | agency | computer. | If | further | implementation | is | required, | it | shall | be | included | in | the | pricing | | | |
| and | not | additional. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
