Updates:

This Form 470 260000269 did not include the MIBS checkbox (although MIBS is requested in the RFP).

This is a Ministerial and Clerical Error on 26000269 and cannot be cured through the 470 modifcation or RFP process. In addition, the FG-100F was listed as a Router not a Firewall. This is also cured on 260021365. Please bid the cost of the FG-100F with both 260000269 and 260021365. Please refer to Form 470# 260021365 which cures the missing MIBS checkbox on the Form 470.

NOTE: Use Worksheet in 260000269 for IA+DT and IC equipment only - Term for C2 equipment licenses is 3-Yr.

Both Forms 470, 260000269 (IA+DT and C2 IC) and 260021365 (C2 MIBS and Firewall) have a bid due date and public bid opening listed above. If bidding both Forms 470, please keep bid documents in separate envelopes with the appropriate Form 470 on the outside.
