- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at https://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The purpose of Amendment 0001 to this combined synopsis and solicitation is as follows: 1) Answer vendor questions 2) Update the Minimum Specifications document (changes also highlighted in the document) Please note that the response date is NOT extended and remains no later than 2:00 pm EDT on August 17, 2012. 1) Vendor questions and answers are as follows: Question 1: Can you clarify which items are "no substitution"? I didn't see any J&A Attached in NECO. Answer 1: The J&A was attached to the RFP on 7/18/2012. Question 2: I do not have 24x7 tech support, would that prevent me from your bid consideration? Answer 2: 24x7 tech support is a required minimum specification. Question 3: Do we need to submit a formal quote or need SF1449 form? Answer 3: An SF1449 is not required for submission. Proposals must address all requirements of the solicitation. Question 4: For CLIN0001 we see that Component 5 is a 19 in. rack Mount Kit. Will you mount this system in a rack? The depth of our potential chassis is 28.4". Answer 4: This system will be rack mounted. A 28.4 chassis depth is acceptable as long as it is rack-mountable. Question 5: Regarding CLIN 0001, Component 4, "4U Rack Mound.", is this a typo and should read "4U Rack Mount."? Answer 5: Yes, it is corrected to read "4U Rack Mount". Question 6: Will CLIN 0001 be mounted, upon delivery and implementation, onto a rack mount chassis, or will a 4U/Tower type chassis be acceptable which can be converted to a rack-mount form factor? Answer 6: A tower type chassis is unacceptable. The system must be in a rack-mount form factor at delivery. Question 7: The E5-2400 series processors are maximum memory channels per socket at 3 Dimms. A qty-8 is specified (Component 3), which will work, but the system will not be at optimum unless 6dimms or 12 dimms are used (3/cpu). Will 6 or 12 be acceptable? Answer 7: CLIN 0002 specifies the wrong processor. The correct processor is an Intel Xeon E5-2670. This alleviates the memory channel concerns. 2) The Minimum Specifications document is changed as follows: CLIN 0001 Component 1 Delete - (acceptable) No text inserted CLIN 0001 Component 4 Delete - Mound Insert - Mount CLIN 0001 Component 5 Delete - 19 in Insert - 19 (inch) CLIN 0002 Component 3 Delete - Intel 8 Core Xeon E5-2450 2.1 GHz 95W Processor. Insert - Intel 8 Core Xeon E5-2670 2.6GHz 115W Processor. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a combined synopsis and solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.
