Questions Government Responses

OFFEROR A's Pro Suite is 100% managed by OFFEROR A's DevOps Engineers. To manage the servers, OFFEROR A's DevOps Team uses SSH secure connections for remote access to the servers. Pro Suite managed services requires an “always on” direct connection to the Pro Suite on-premise servers. The reason for that “always on” connection is many of the managed service portions of the server operations are automated. Would like to know if this model of a managed service would be acceptable to Wright Patterson Airforce Base's mode of operations? The "always on" connection is acceptable to us, but if Offeror A requires that, they would need to provide that network connection.

Does Wright Patterson AFB only require electronic copies of our response, just 2 files per page 2 of Attachment 2 “Additional Instructions to Offerors”?

Correct, per page 2 of "Instructions to Offerors" the Government requests electronic copies. Two separate Volumes, one for the Technical package and one for the Price package.

“For Volume II, submit the Pricing Exhibit/Attachment as both a PDF document and as a Microsoft Excel file. Ensure the Microsoft Excel file is not “Read Only” so the CO/buyer can verify the offeror’s calculations.”We cannot locate the Excel file, could this please be provided?
