Addendum 1 - Questions & Answers.pdf

This is Addendum 1 to a Request for Quote issued by Brunswick Community College in North Carolina for Solicitation Number 81-04302026 regarding an Incident Command and Control Simulation Training System. The addendum addresses two vendor inquiries submitted prior to the May 6, 2026, vendor question deadline. The first clarification concerns the referenced Attachment B regarding confidential information handling procedures; the State confirmed that Attachment B was referenced in error and is not applicable to this solicitation. The second clarification addresses accessibility compliance documentation requirements, with the State confirming that while a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is not required, vendors must still provide documentation demonstrating accessibility compliance in accordance with Section 3.6.8 of the solicitation. The bid opening remains scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.

This addendum provides important procedural guidance for vendors preparing proposals but does not modify substantive requirements, pricing terms, delivery deadlines, or evaluation criteria. No changes to the June 26, 2026, delivery and installation deadline, the Best Value Analysis/Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source Selection methodology, or the electronic submission requirements via the State's electronic Vendor Portal are indicated in this addendum. The clarifications serve to remove ambiguity regarding submission documentation requirements and compliance demonstration methods without imposing additional financial obligations or technical specifications on vendors.
