AMENDMENT No. 001: Fuel Management Cloud Software & Integration (SaaS) at North Dakota National Guard

AMENDMENT No. 001: Questions raised by interested Vendor with the Government Answers.

Q1: Can the integration and configuration work be performed remotely, or is physical presence required at the six locations? The contractor is responsible for the complete, functional integration of the edge gateways. While remote configuration of the cloud software dashboard is permitted, the contractor (or their authorized regional representative) must ensure proper physical connectivity at each of the six (6) locations. On-site NDARNG staff will coordinate facility access but will not perform hardware wiring or physical troubleshooting on behalf of the contractor.

Q2: Can you confirm the estimated funding level is intended as a single fixed-price deliverable rather than an ongoing staffing or multi-year support arrangement? Confirmed. This solicitation is for a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract for Year 1 deliverables (inclusive of software licensing, cloud hosting access, edge hardware, and database migration). Ongoing support and software access in subsequent years will be structured as a new and distinct base plus Option Years requirement, subject to the availability of funds.

Note 2: The Government’s in-depth market research has indicated the general level of funding required in order to complete this software and parts requirement. In order to avoid small business companies preparing quotes needlessly, it is hereby stated that the level of funding available for this specific requirement is approximately $20,000.
