QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question 1) Are there detailed technical specifications (minimum requirements) that describe what is required for the items detailed in the “scope of work” section of this solicitation?

Question 2) Will the government accept offer for items from different manufacturers that are equivalent to the requested items (Brand Name or Equal)?

Response: Yes, each RFQ will list a requested item or specification and will allow for equivalents to be proposed.

Response: Minimum specifications of an alternate/equivalent must at least meet the specifications and salient characteristics of the items which are requested at the time of the RFQ.
