1Section L, provision 7.3.1-16, requires proof of authorization from HP, while Section B specifies SolarWinds software. Please confirm whether this requirement should reference SolarWinds instead of HP.This is a typo in 7.3.1-16 - Technical Requirments; It has been revised in amendment P0001 to reflect "SolarWinds"
2May an offeror qualify as an authorized supplier through an approved SolarWinds distributor or reseller, or must the offeror hold direct authorization from SolarWinds? Would an OEM-issued letter confirming the offeror's authorization for this procurement satisfy the requirement?A letter from the OEM that explicitly affirms the Offerors status as an authorized reseller/service provider will satisfy this requirement.
3May the contractor invoice upon delivery and acceptance of each annual software subscription entitlement, rather than upon completion of the full annual subscription period?Yes, the vendor can bill at the acceptable of each annual software subscription entitlement (i.e. Base Period, option Period 1, Option Period 2) once delivery and acceptance has occurred by FDIC.
