About this file
This document contains a series of Questions and Answers (Q&A) related to a U.S. Army computer procurement solicitation. The Q&A addresses three key vendor inquiries: (1) computer manufacturer specifications, confirming that for the standard laptop, any TAA-compliant/889-compliant make/model meeting salient specifications is acceptable for bid submission, (2) clarification on processor specifications for a Getac rugged tablet, with the preferred processor being the Intel® Core™ i7-1265U vPro® Processor (Max. 4.8GHz, 12MB Cache), and (3) bidding terms, which were definitively stated as "--ALL or NOTHING", meaning vendors cannot submit partial bids and must bid on the entire contract requirement.

1. While Getac and Apple are clearly defined, I noticed that several specifications— particularly for the "Standard Lap"—only list the minimum required specs. Same for the unspecified brand monitors and peripherals. My assumption is that any manufacturer, such as Dell, HP, etc., that meets these specifications and CHESS approved would be considered for an award.
Can you please confirm if this assumption is correct?
ANSWER: Any computer that is required to sourced through CHESS (or match CHESS models/manufacturers) are explicitly listed within their descriptions. For the standard laptop, any TAA-compliant/889-compliant make/model that meets the salient specifications is welcome for bid-submission.
2. We are seeking clarification regarding the processor specifications for the GETAC rugged tablet CLIN. The referenced model in the solicitation directs us to a GETAC page that includes multiple CPU configuration options, such as:
Intel® Core™ i5-1235U Processor (Max. 4.4GHz, 12MB Cache) Intel® Core™ i5-1245U vPro® Processor (Max. 4.4GHz, 12MB Cache) Intel® Core™ i7-1255U Processor (Max. 4.7GHz, 12MB Cache) Intel® Core™ i7-1265U vPro® Processor (Max. 4.8GHz, 12MB Cache)
Given that these processors vary in core count, vPro support, and clock speed, could you kindly confirm:
Which specific processor configuration is required (e.g., i7 only, vPro preferred)?
Would any of the listed processors be considered technically acceptable under the solicitation's requirements?
ANSWER: The preferred selection is • Intel® Core™ i7-1265U vPro® Processor (Max. 4.8GHz, 12MB Cache). I apologize for the confusion.
3. Is the Army open to partial bids, in which vendors are allowed to bid on only what they are able to and authorized to sell?
ANSWER: --ALL or NOTHING
