About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document addressing two key concerns raised about solicitation N0017826Q6736 for a Crystal KVM (Rugged Portable Display) being procured by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division. The document clarifies procurement parameters related to Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance and delivery timelines for the requested equipment.
Regarding TAA compliance, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) confirmed that the specified part number (PD-F115A-DP) manufactured by Global Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. is non-TAA compliant. The government has accepted a non-TAA compliant quote, indicating that a Non-Availability Waiver is either in place or will be waived given the "Brand Name Only" justification citing this as the only equipment compatible with existing infrastructure. On the delivery timeline, while the solicitation initially required delivery within 30 calendar days, the OEM's current lead time is 5-6 weeks. The government has approved an extended delivery requirement of 45-60 days after receipt of order (ARO), accommodating the technical necessity of this specific brand name equipment.

1. TAA Compliance: The OEM has confirmed that this specific part number is currently non-TAA compliant. Given that the "Brand Name Only" justification identifies this as the only equipment compatible with your existing infrastructure, could you please confirm if a Non-Availability Waiver is in place or if a non-TAA compliant quote will be accepted?
Answer: non-TAA compliant quote will be accepted
2. Delivery Timeline: The solicitation requires delivery within 30 calendar days. However, the OEM advised that the current lead time is 5–6 weeks. Considering the technical necessity of this specific brand, will the Government consider extending the delivery requirement to 45–60 days ARO?
