Combined synopsis/solicitation is amended to post the following Question and Answer content, with no change to the required due date for quotes. Responses received after the date of this amendment will be construed as acknowleding its content. 1) For the headsets going overseas, do you need the frequency to align with the local laws/regulations? Yes all local laws and regulations needed to complete successful international deliveries must be followed. 2) I believe there was a mistake in the attached delivery details, since you're looking for a quantity of 12 three team members for line item 1 , it must be 3 pairs of headsets, right? And for the other line item it must be 31 of 5 pair headsets? Can you please supply us the correct info? For CLIN 0001 we are requiring 12 sets each of headsets for 3 team members, so 36 individual headsets. For CLIN 0002 it's 31 sets each for 5 team members, so 155 individual headsets. This has emphasis in the specification content section for each CLIN, though this additional clarification is helpful as well. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items/services prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This is for a single award without options. The required equipment is per the attached specifications, including its delivery timeframes.
