John H. Shultzaberger Contracting Officer Question 1: The solicitation is marked as unrestricted, but later in the document under the comparative evaluation section, it says this is for a 100% SDVOSB set aside. Can the government clarify if this unrestricted or 100% SDVOSB Set aside?

Answer: This requirement is unrestricted. There was error in the evaluation criteria specifying this requirement as an SDVOSB set-aside.

Gainesville VA Police use AES FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified encryption to secure their communication.

Answer: Yes

Question 4: Sustainment Services for up to 5 years from date of purchase. Should the response include onsite response, pick-up & delivery, repair, and technical support?
