Questions and Answers
Number 02
Q – Will there be another Amendment to this solicitation?
A – Please check FedBizOps every day to make sure you do not miss anything.
Q - C-band links can provide an availability of 99.7%. Please, note an availability of 99.97% may not be possible without a redundancy in all hardware parts, or without a back-up link. In the last Q&A, you said that backup hardware was not necessary. Is this true?
A – We do not require a backup dish, however, this does not preclude the vendor from having spares on-site or close to on-site in order to replace failed components in a timely manner. Please see Amendment 02.
Q – Can our proposal offer multiple technical solutions?
A - Yes.
Q - Does the service provider need to supply the rack for the VSAT equipment? Or does the customer already have rack space available?
A – Yes. Please provide a rack for your equipment. See the requirement under Network Devices in the
Continuation to SF-1449 in the Solicitation.
Q - Does the service provider need to supply UPS?
A – Yes. Please provide a UPS for your equipment. This requirement is stated in Network Devices in the
Continuation to SF-1449 in the Solicitation. Please also note standard 12v 7amp batteries are the only replacement batteries which are readily available in the DRC.

A – No.
Q - The equipment (BUC) required for the 2/2Mbps link is very different than the equipment (BUC) required for a 6/6 Mbps. This will have a big impact in the pricing.
A – The equipment you provide shall be sufficient to satisfy the solicitation requirements.
