Question and Answer 05 June 2012

Q: Will our employees will have internet access while at each of the LPOEs for this contract?

We assume that we will be able to install a fax/scanner/printer at each LPOE. Is this accurate?

Will contractor staff be using Government furnished email client (i.e. Outlook or Lotus notes)?

If we have no internet access and no email access, will we be allowed to use satellite connectivity for internet access based on security protocol?

A: GSA does not provide any connectivity under the contract. Telephone, internet, data transmission capability, etc. are the responsibility of the Contractor.

There are Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) available to service the sites.

The Contractor will be furnished space to install a fax/scanner/printer at each LPOE. The amount of space may vary from location to location.

The Contractor will be responsible for establishing and maintaining their own email client. Government email will not be available for Contractor use.

Satellite connectivity for internet access is permitted at all sites.
