About this file
This is an official Question and Answer (Q&A) document for USAF solicitation FA8051-26-Q-4005, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Schneider Electric Power Monitoring Expert (PME) software sustainment supporting the Advanced Meter Reading System (AMRS) platform. The Q&A clarifies eight key inquiries from potential offerors regarding contract requirements and scope. Critical clarifications include confirmation that the PWS will be updated to reflect Schneider Electric's current standard of 2,000 maximum devices per license (removing the "unlimited" requirement); authorization for offerors to provide year-by-year pricing with escalation for PME license purchases rather than a single entry for the entire five-year contract period (September 2026 through September 2031); and notification that while Schneider is transitioning to subscription licensing post-2029, offerors should bid based on perpetual licensing per the SOW, with the Government reserving the right to modify the contract if the manufacturer converts to a subscription model. Additional clarifications confirm the NAICS code as 513210, no bonding requirement, that O&M applies only to software (not network infrastructure), no site survey requirement, and no meter hardware provision requirement. The contract encompasses sustainment of 46 existing PME license suites across multiple Air Force bases, with optional procurement and sustainment of up to 30 additional license suites over the contract performance period. This is a Competitive 8(a) Set-Aside with a proposal submission deadline of July 22, 2026.

| Question # | Document and Section | Page | Question | Government Response |
| 1 | Attachment 1 Section 1.3 Existing Software Platform | 2 | PWS states: 1.3 "The total scope of this AMRS enterprise license is for unlimited electrical meters and the 15 data points per electric meter that are required. The USAF can mix and match unlimited number of meters at any base. Contractor question "Schneider Electric no longer sells unlimited device licenses for PME. The maximum amount of device licenses per system is now at 2000 devices. This amount is well beyond the 100-200 devices currently in your systems." Please confirm and remove "Unlimited" from the requirement. | The PWS will be updated to reflect the current software standard of 2000 devices per licenses. |
| 2 | Attachment 3-CLIN Spreadsheet | CLIN 2 | The purchase of new PME license has a single entry for the entire length of the contract from Sept 2026 – Sept 2031. Due to changing costs we would like to provide the govt each Option Year pricing to purchase the PME licenses with proper price escalation. Please confirm this is acceptable. | Offerers may provide pricing for each year. |
| 3 | Informational Purposes | This is being provided as general information to make the Govt aware : "Schneider is moving away from perpetual licensing to subscription licensing. Currently, Schneider will extend the purchase of perpetual licensing to 2029. Years 2030 and 2031, PME can only be purchased thru subscription. Of course, this could change but we wanted to make the Govt aware." | Please provide your bids in accordance with the SOW thru the entire performance period. Do not assume subscription licensing. In the event licenses are converted to a subscription model by the manufacturer, the winning vendor should immediately notify the Government via an RFI along with expected changes from the software manufacturer. At that time, the Government will engage the software manufacturer directly and determine a way forward. This may include modifying this contract or award a new contract pending the scope and timing of what the software manufacturer is stating. | |
| 4 | Has a NAICS code been determined for this solicitation? If so, please provide it. | 513210 | ||
| 5 | Does the Project require bonding? | No bonding is required for this effort. | ||
| 6 | Is this an O&M for the entire network or would it be just for PME? | It is an O&M just for the software. |
The network O&M is a combination of multiple different organizations and not part of this effort.
| 7 | Has a site survey been completed for the current sites? Is there opportunity to do so or be provided with results? | This is a software sustainment and procurement contract, no site survey is required. |
| 8 | Will meters be provided as needed? | This is a software sustainment and procurement contract, no meters are required. |
