Questions and Responses

1. Does everything need to be TAA compliant, or just where its noted?

Response: Yes, everything must be TAA compliant

2. For clarification, you are requesting the total price for the BOM for each of the 5 12-month time period and that price cannot change.

Response: Once the proposal is submitted the price cannot be changed. Please reference the Solicitation, Page 3 of 69, Changes to the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Solicitation, 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors, Volume 4, Factor 3 - Price.

3. Can you confirm that the delivery and installation site is 700 Westpark Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

Response: Please reference the Performance Work Statement (PWS) Paragraph 2.1. The installation location is not 700 Westpark Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269. Each task order will indicate the installation location and delivery date. The locations may be located in the U.S., Europe, or in the Pacific.

4. Should line items that have been discontinued by the manufacture be omitted? Or should responders replace the discontinued line items with their updated replacement parts?

Response: Reference the Solicitation, 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, Volume 4, Factor 3, Price.

5. May responders reply to all line items with brand name or equal products or just those line items that include “or equal”

Response: No, offerors are instructed to follow the language specified in the Parts description contained in the Bill of Materials.

6. Since it is not possible to price hardware for years in the future, will vendors be permitted to make hardware pricing adjustments if market pricing changes?

Response: No. Reference the solicitation Page 3 of 69, Changes to the Bill of Materials

7. Will the government consider allowing vendors to update hardware pricing prior to each contract performance period?

Response: No. Reference the solicitation Page 3 of 69, Changes to the Bill of Materials

8. Some items on the list require licenses to be purchased for the equipment to function properly (9000 series switches), but there are no line items for individual equipment licenses. Should we include licenses as part of the equipment pricing, or will individual license line items be added to the listing?

Response: This is only for the equipment. The government will purchase licenses separately.

9. Row 74 – That option no longer exists. Will there be a replacement/updated BOM released?

Response: Since this item no longer exists it can be deleted. We will not be submitting a replacement for this item. The BOM will not be updated.
