AMENDMENT 0004: 1/25/2022:

QUESTION #1: Our distributor has come back with a question about the 9200 Catalyst. The model number you provided is: C9200L-48P-4X

The models they have available for quote are C9200L-48P-4X-E OR C9200L-48P-4X-A. We need clarification on which model you are requesting a quote for so we can be sure we provide the right model with the correct cost.

ANSWER #1: Either model is acceptable as long as it is the C9200L-48P-4X series. We will accept the 4X-E or 4X-A. The switch has to be TAA complaint.

QUESTION #2: Another question, our distributor is providing us with a slightly different but same model number. The one in your RFQ is as follows: C9200L-48P-4X

The one they come back with a quote is C9200L-48PXG-4X minus the question above about the "E" or "A" after the 4X.

The models they have available for quote are C9200L-48P-4X-E OR C9200L-48P-4X-A. We need clarification on which model you are requesting a quote for so we can be sure we provide the right model with the correct cost. Sorry if this seems confusing but we want to ensure we provide an accurate quote but also that you are receiving the correct equipment.

ANSWER #2: See answer above

QUESTION #3: We also need to ask if you currently have a CISCO DNA license, or do you need to renew it? Or do you need a brand new purchase? If you need to renew, we will need the license number so our distributor can align with an extension or if you don't, we can ask for a brand new quote.

ANSWER #3: 3 year license minimum

QUESTION #4: In addition to our original question, we would just like to verify a statement made "A complete overhaul/upgrade is needed." Is this a fact for both Melbourne and Jacksonville? It then goes on to talk about Melbourne but nothing about Jacksonville which is misleading. ATEAM would just like to verify that there are two sites that require a complete overhaul using the Build Of Materials (BOM) in the RFQ.

ANSWER #4: Both locations

QUESTION 5: "The question is do we have to provide this equipment? It’s no problem, I am just unsure if we provide or you will."

ANSWER: Yes, provide equipment identified in the SOW/RFQ.

QUESTION 6: "… these machines are standalone or connected to our office network?"

ANSWER: “These are standalone machines and will not connect to our office LAN.”

AMENDMENT 0003: 1/21/2022:

QUESTION: “…like to ask if Blue Iris VMS is the only VMS that NOAA at these locations is looking to use / is the government open to an alternatives for these two sites that is US based, enterprise grade, and approved to run on USG networks across DHS and DoJ including other NOAA locations?”

ANSWER: “This is a brand requirement and what is have provided in the posting is all that is allowable.” “Yes Blue Iris is the approved software solution that we are installing across the region. We will not consider another software system. Thanks"

AMENDMENT 0002: 2/19/2022:

QUESTION: “I had not considered the challenge of lightning strikes. Would it be beneficial for us to include lightning strike kits for the exterior units? Maybe as optional equipment?”

ANSWER: “No this will not be added as a requirement to the scope, but I would be glad to receive it priced outside the quote as an option so the additional pricing does not affect the overall quotes of all being compared on the same technical requirements."

AMENDMENT 0001: 2/19/2022:

QUESTION: Does NOAA NWS have a preferred camera manufacturer? Are there known cameras which work with the system or currently being used in the system?

ANSWER:

No. We have no preference. The cameras must meet all requirements listed in the SOW. Refer to 1.6.2, 1.6.4, and 1.7. All existing system equipment and cabling will be removed and disposed of by the contractor. Refer to 1.5.

A complete overhaul/upgrade is needed. For Melbourne, none of the current cameras are suitable for continued use. Several of the Pan/Tilt no longer operate due to lightning strikes. Our system is old technology with BNC connectors. Will require new cabling etc.

Clauses in the RFQ 52.204-25 & 26 and the provision under 52.204-24 cover Telecommunication sources which cannot be used.

Minimally the following:

Additionally, in order for video surveillance equipment to be installed on U.S. government properties, it must comply with section 889 of the 2019 NDAA. In short, none of its components can be constructed by any of these companies:

· Huawei Technologies Company

· ZTE Corporation

· Hytera Communications Corporation

· Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company

· Dahua Technology Company

Two floor plans for each locations are attached.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
