Q89. The requirement for Contractors to provide additional computers beyond those furnished by the Government, “to accomplish Task Order requirements for classified or unclassified efforts” contained in Answer 55 suggests that Contractors shall access DTRA classified and unclassified computing systems via contractor-supplied computers.
