1. Please confirm if the Government needs datasheets? The Instructions to Offeror's (ITO) in the RFP did not require datasheets.

Response:

Yes, offerors must provide device data sheets for all proposed devices for each Volume Band. The data sheets must show compliance for each specification/requirement included in the SOWs.

2. Does every single point (requirement) need to be verified by technical specification documents?

For example, some of the requirements were not found by Akira in the published technical specs but then verified via email with the OEM.

Yes, every requirement must be verified by technical specification documents.

3. If every requirement must be verifiable, will you accept copies of the emails from the OEMs?

Compliance verified by OEMs must be on official letterhead stating the specifications being addressed. The OEM letter must include the POC’s phone number and email address for verification purposes. OEM device whitepapers are also acceptable.

4. Would the Government accept a signed letter by the OEM stating that the product meets or exceeds those technical requirements?

Response:

Yes, signed OEM letters are acceptable, but must specifically state the technical requirements being addressed. A general OEM letter stating overall compliance without technical requirements cited is not acceptable.

5. Would the Government accept website links to OEM website(s) showing compliance with requirements?

Response:

Yes, OEM website links are acceptable, but must include a copy of the page showing compliance with the requirements. All links will be reviewed.

6. Would the Government accept website links to third parties/distributors (like CDWG) websites showing compliance with requirements?

No.
