This document clarifies requirements for a federal government Request for Proposal (RFP) concerning HEMP shielded Gen Set Shelters. The core requirement is for two identical, separate generator systems, not a single 40ft container or interconnected primary/standby units. Each genset will operate independently without synchronization gear, indicating a need for two distinct and fully functional systems rather than a combined or redundant setup. The document explicitly rejects the idea of a single 40ft container or any form of synchronization or interconnection between the two units. The purpose of this clarification is to ensure that vendors propose two separate and identical generator systems, each capable of independent operation, addressing a potential ambiguity in the original Statement of Work regarding the number and configuration of units.
