Answer: We currently have two (2) displays out and have had three (3) previous display issues.

2. RFQ p. 43, Scope of Work: Maintenance and support shall consist of remote (telephone or VTC) support, and on-site labor support as appropriate in order to address customer reported issues.

Question: Is the on-site labor support requested unlimited or would you want to set a number of on-site labor support daily visits allowed?

Answer: Unlimited

3. RFQ p.44, Support Services, Consideration 1) Contractor's maintenance support shall include a Manufacturer Service Support Contract that enables manufacturer replacement, repairs and firmware upgrades to the related system.

Question: Do you have dates on when the hardware listed in Table A was purchased? If yes, could the Government please provide to assist offers with pricing this requirement?

Answer: December 2017.

4. RFQ p.44, Support Services, Consideration 3) For any parts that are discovered to be manufacturer discontinued or out-of-service contractor shall replace those parts with a compatible current replacement.

Question: If required, will the hardware be submitted to the Government as an additional expense to the customer beyond the scope/fee of this contract?

Answer: Yes, if a replacement is not in scope for the contract.

5. RFQ p.44, Support Services, Consideration 4) Contractor's maintenance shall consist of all labor support and parts / materials.

Question: Will the parts referenced be miscellaneous parts or replacement hardware from the list in Table A?

Answer: It is replacement hardware.

9. RFQ Attachment A: Equipment List

Question: How many conference rooms does Table A consist of?

Answer: Watchfloor and one (1) conference room.

10. RFQ, p. 11, Instructions for Submission of Quotes, Quote Contents: To be considered awardable, the quoter shall quote on each line item.

Question: Could the Government confirm that offerors are to provide a firm fixed price for each item as listed in the Schedule of Supplies/Services (i.e., items 0001 – 5001)?

Answer: Yes

11. RFQ, p. 11, Instructions for Submission of Quotes, Quote Contents: All price and price supporting information shall be contained in the price submission.

Question: Is the Government requiring supporting price data to supplement our line item pricing? Is yes, can the Government clarify what supporting data is requested?

Answer: In accordance with 52.212-1 ADDENDUM in the solicitation, “Quoters are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their price submission.”

12. Question: Will the Government consider extending the due date for submissions pending answers to industry questions as answers effect pricing for the requirement?

Answer: Yes. Extended to 2/2/2021 at 1400 EST.

13. Questions: The equipment list that was provided to us contains some components that are currently end of life and have been replaced with newer models. Would the end user like us to immediately refresh these components with the refreshed model?

Answer: No, an immediate refresh of equipment is not being requested.

14. Question: We have received feedback from the manufacturers that they will not extend a Manufacturer’s maintenance agreement for components that have expired maintenance. They are requiring that equipment must be purchased new to be afforded a 5 year Mfr agreement. With this being said, I am unsure if the end user is wanting all equipment to be refreshed so that they have the 5 year Mfr maintenance, or if they would just like labor/support for their components and then would pay (outside of the contract award) for replacement hardware components, should they fail?

Answer: End user is requesting support for existing equipment and does not require an immediate refresh.

15. Question: For any parts that are discovered to be manufacturer discontinued or out-of-service, shall the contractor shall replace those parts with a compatible current replacement?

Answer: See answer #14

16. Question: Is the end user asking that they would like us to preliminarily review all part numbers to verify that they are current (currently available for sale). If they are not current, shall we include the cost to replace the part? For example, the displays are older models, and are no longer for available or for sale… do they want to replace them all with current displays?

Answer: A verification of part number would be beneficial but replacement parts are not being requested under this solicitation.

17. Question: Just wondering if we need to do an equipment refresh or only worry about refreshing an item if/when it breaks.

Answer: Equipment refresh will eventually become necessary as the installed monitors reach end of life expectancy for LCD screens; however, when a refresh is conducted it will have to be for entirety of existing displays and not partial replacements.
