QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES

VENDOR WHO ATTENDED SIITE VISIT

General Questions

1. Will there be secure storage for the gear during installation? Example: When we ship the materials, is there a place on site where we can securely store our equipment? Yes, Gear and equipment can be stored in the facility as it is controlled with no public entrance.

2. Are clearances required for installation (Secret or Top Secret. etc...)? No, clearances are not mandated as all vendors will be escorted and all classified locked up while they perform necessary work in the secure area.

3. Are there certifications required for installers (CASP+, Security+, CCNP Security, etc...)?

Yes and No, The SOW requires that the vendors be “certified A/V installers”. Since the vendors are only installing equipment and not going into the network side of operations, they do not require any additional specialty certifications. If the vendor requires programing help to make the SIPR work when the equipment is in place, we will reach out at that time for the 60CS to work on that issue.
