This is an Addendum #2 Inquiry Response document issued by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation for RFP DoIT 2025-067, a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) solicitation. The addendum clarifies the Early Vendor Inquiry Deadline, which was originally referenced in Section 2.5 of the RFP but omitted from the published Schedule of Events. According to the response, the Early Vendor Inquiry Deadline was communicated as August 17, 2026, during the Vendor Conference presentation. Questions received by that deadline were answered in Addendum #1, posted to the NH DAS website on August 27, 2026. Questions submitted after August 17, 2026, but before the end of the overall Vendor Inquiry Period on September 22, 2026, will receive responses on or about October 2, 2026. The NHDOT reserves the right to cease providing additional inquiry responses at any time between the current date and October 2, 2026.

This addendum addresses a critical scheduling discrepancy that could have caused confusion among bidders regarding when to submit early vendor inquiries. By providing the specific deadline date and clarifying the response timeline, the addendum ensures transparency in the solicitation process. The clarification allows vendors adequate time to submit inquiries before the October 2, 2026, response date, enabling them to incorporate the state's answers into their final proposals prior to the October 13, 2026, proposal submission deadline.
