Key issues addressed include confirmation of the gross vehicle weight rating, customer-supplied equipment (CSE), and the requirement for both the vehicle and trailer to be HEMP shielded per MIL-STD-188-125-2. It clarifies that the contractor is accountable for testing both the trailer and vehicle to meet illumination requirements, as well as confirming the expected radio frequency (RF) attenuation performance, set at 100dB at 1GHz and 10GHz. The communication establishes that while the customer does not require additional security measures for TEMPEST compliance, an STC of 50 rating for sound insulation is desirable. Additionally, responses confirm the absence of specific DHS/FEMA guidelines for vehicle decals, with an agreement to update project specifications accordingly. The document's purpose is to clarify requirements and responsibilities in the RFP, facilitating clearer communication between the government and potential contractors, ensuring compliance with standards, and defining roles concerning equipment and performance specifications.
