The previous amendment stated this Request for Quote (RFQ) is a Service Disabled, Veteran Owned Small Business Set-Aside. This is incorrect. This action is not a set-aside due to the requirements of the non-manufacturer rule.

This action is being compe ted on a full and open basis.

The questions and answers below are hereby incorporated into the above referenced RFQ.

CONTINUATION PAGE

Q1. The Q&A posted on SAM still indicates Avigilon is the desired PACS manufacturer. My understanding was that the Government was okay with any manufacturer so long as the manufacturer/product was listed on the APL. Can you please clarify if Avigilon is still basis of design/desired manufacturer?

A1. The government requires the PACS and security cameras to be fully integrated, therefore, all associated equipment will be controlled by one system. For example, as someone swipes-in the camera records the motions before and after the swipe-in. The integrations is via one platform versus two or three different systems operating separately. Motion intrusion and detection shall tie into the one system. Therefore, the basis of design manufacturer is Avigilon.

Q2. 45 Readers are indicated on the drawings, but the Salient Characteristics doc indicates 64 readers. Please clarify how many readers (replacement and new) are required for this project.

A2. There are 25 door readers and 9 number pad door readers to be replaced. There are 4 new door readers to be installed.
