About this file

This document contains a questions and answers template for the Commercial Ethernet Gateway (CEG) - Continental United States (CONUS) Regions 3-7 solicitation from the Defense Information Systems Agency. The template includes four questions from an offeror regarding discrepancies between the total number of sites listed in the pricing templates versus the site lists for Regions 4, 5 and 7. The agency responses clarify that the totals in the pricing templates and TBN site tabs were established to maintain fair evaluations and negotiate additional sites, and may vary from the site list totals due to rounding.
