Description

THIS NOTICE CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE COMBINED SYNOPSIS/RFQ FOR NOKIA IP 650 BASE SYSTEM AND ACCESSORIES. Companies shall acknowledge all amendment(s) in their quote. This notice serves as the official amendment to subject synopsis/RFQ and a written amendment will not be issued. The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions received regarding the procurement and to DELETE the Strong Encryption Software Qty: 2, from the synopsis/solicitation (the software is included as a no cost item in the Nokia IP650 Base System package). The following are the questions and answers applicable to this procurement: 1. What specific type of maintenance is required? 8x5 or 24x7 or another option. Answer: We need 24x7x365 support. 2. May I quote the Access maintenance instead of the Essential maintenance. The Access allows the end user to call the Nokia Tech Center directly for assistance, with Essential the end user would can us and then if we couldn't help them we would call Nokia and rely the message back to the end user. Answer: NASA DFRC prefers to deal directly with Nokia support and not through an intermediary contact. 3. NOKIA is offering a special promotion good through June 30, 2001 in which they are including a redundant power supply with the IP650's at no cost. Do you anticipate this being awarded in time to be able to take advantage of this offer? It would necessitate the order being received no later than June 29, 2001. Answer: Yes, we anticipate award being made prior to June 29, 2001 to take advantage of the offer. 4. If the order falls into the above mentioned time frame, NOKIA is also offering a free Gigabit Ethernet Interface Card with each IP650 purchased. (Requires a card which comes with the IP650's being returned to NOKIA) Answer: Gigabit ethernet -- If the card is 10/100/1000 autosense then we want the free upgrade. 5. I was also wondering if they are not doing anything as far as firewall support with this appliance? Answer: We currently have Checkpoint firewall support at NASA DFRC. The due date for receipt of offers is not extended. Companies shall provide the information stated in the synopsis/RFQ posted on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) on May 17, 2001. Documents related to this procurement are available over the Internet and are in Microsoft Office 97 format and reside on the World Wide Web (WWW) server which may be accessed using a WWW browser application.
