A. Amendment 0001 to Request for Quote (RFQ) EA-133W-17-RQ-0467 is hereby issued to answer questions received by quoters and to make changes to Attachment 1: NWR Upgrade IP Audio Encoder/De-coder requirements Ver 1.5.

1. Question: Is this a new requirement or is there an incumbent? If there is an incumbent vendor, would you be able to provide the contract details?

Anwer: This is a new requirement.

2. Question: Raw UDP - is this a requirement for RTP audio or Raw UDP? Or both?

EG-133W-17-RQ-0467

Answer: RAW UDP only.

3. Question: Does either the input or output of 600 ohms need to be balanced audio (XLR connectors) or can the product have unbalanced connectors (RCA jacks)?

Answer: No balanced audio is required, RCA jacks are acceptable.

4. Question: Local audio monitor capability - Is it enough to have a port on the product for this, or do you need the earbuds shipped with all products?

Answer: Only a port is required.

5. Question: Adjustable Oms to 3000ms jitter buffer - Is this for both UDP and TCP?

Answer: This is for UDP only.

6. Question: Autofailover to pre-recorded file if audio stream is lost - If this is a external memory to the hardware, does

NOAA prefer memory card to go INSIDE the box of the decoder, or can this be a external USB stick? Is the recorded file going to play FULLY until the connection is restored or should we allow for the file to be cut off when connection is established?

Answer: The type of memory used is not specified and any type is acceptable. If internal memory is used, a method to upload the file will be required. The audio shall start after approximately 20-30 seconds of no link with the encoder and shall loop a single file until the link to the encoder is re-established. The file format shall be commercially available.

7. Question: Environmental requirements - To adhere to these requirements exactly will require the engineering of a new box, is it okay to quote both what we have now as existing product and show clearly where the product does not meet the required specs and also a newly engineered hardware that fully meets this requirement? Or MUST the product adhere fully to these requirements to be considered?

Answer: The product must meet or exceed the requirements in order to be considered.

8. Question: Specialty programming cables - what kind of cables, balanced audio (XLR?) or unbalanced audio (RCA?)

Earbuds supplied with every box encoder and decoder?

Answer: Specialty programming cables, if any, shall be provided with the audio encoders and de-coders.

B. Attachment 1: NWR Upgrade IP Audio Encoder/De-coder requirements Ver 1.5, under Other requirements, is hereby changed-

FROM:

c) Specialty programming cables included
