Question #3:
The salient characteristics in Appendix A (pg 111) seem to point to specific product types that would otherwise be obtained on a GSA Schedule. Is the intent of this program, then, to provide the integration and COP views, and not to procure these devices as well?
Response:
The Governments intent is to procure the types of items required by PM-Force Protection Systems using this IDIQ contract, that are not under another contract.
No, the hardware and ancillary services such as installation, training and maintenance support is all that is required. Intent is to utilize Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) equipment.
