Questions and Answers in Response to Combined Synopsis/Solicitation W911QY-24-R-IDC1 S2PRINT Integrated Data Collection Lab

Question 1:

It looks like proposal should not include any extra desktop or laptop computers. Is it correct to assume that the required laptops/desktops will be procured elsewhere? Just want to make sure they will be gotten somewhere else, as the system is not functional without them. I can specify in the RFP the required number and specs to make the system functional.

Answer 1:

This is correct. We do want/need the number and specs for the computers to run the system because that info will be needed for acquiring computers for IDCL through CHESS or other government avenues.

Question 2:

Is it possible for us to include pricing for optional items in the proposal (so not required for the scope listed, but potentially beneficial)? Examples include a corrective lens kit for eye tracking glasses (so the glasses would work with subjects who wear glasses), as well as extra eye tracking glasses.

Answer 2:

Yes, pricing for optional items would be acceptable.

Question 3:

For the eyetrackers, is there a minimum number required for the large UX lab? I can put extras in the optional component section.

Answer 3:

One (1) is the minimum, but yes add additional in the optional section.

Question 4:

For the eyetrackers, is there a use case where the subject will need to be moving around while wearing the eye tracker/ or an instance where they will not be in front of a screen?

Answer 4:

Yes, they may be moving around some.

Question 5:

For the optional physiology equipment, how many subjects will be wearing the equipment at the same time?

Answer 5:

Similar to eye trackers, minimum is one (1), but additional in optional section would be useful.

Question 6:

Could we get a rough schematic/floorplan of the location of the rooms involved?

Answer 6:

Please see attached floorplans.

Question 7:

Is there only one control room for the Large UX Lab and HSI lab, or does each lab have its own control room?

Question 9:

For the camera mounted to the monitor, would a tripod next to the monitor or a camera mounted to the wall behind the monitor suffice (will the monitor be located close to a wall?)

Answer 9:

Yes, Tripod would be okay. Wall mounted may be an option also.

Question 10:

Given the scope of this solution, is there flexibility on delivery time (currently stated in the RFP as 30 days after report is accepted)?

Answer 10:

The solicitation has been amended to update the delivery schedule: the report on technical needs is due 45 days after award and the installation, integration, and training is due 60 days after award.

Question 11:

For the extended hardware warranty/expedited repair, what turnaround is expected for expedited repair?

Answer 11:

Two (2) to four (4) weeks seems reasonable taking into consideration the scope of the repair needed.
