About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document providing clarifications to Solicitation 1232SA26Q0940, a Request for Quotation issued by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service for Cryotanks and Racking Systems. The document addresses seven clarifying questions and their responses, correcting and confirming key requirement specifications.
The controlling delivery address is confirmed as 1111 South Mason Street, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. The required quantities are six MVE 1842P-150AF-GB cryotank units, one MVE 1879P-190AF-GB unit, and 54 (not 108) V-13-2L vertical racks for 13 2-inch boxes with locking rod part number V-13-2L. FOB-destination performance includes delivery, unloading, unpacking, and placement at the delivery point. No additional canisters, boxes, accessories, or liquid-nitrogen interface work is required. For the 1879 cryotank unit, vendors must supply the TEC 3000 controller variant with part number 13814943U, which must be compatible with Johnson Controls Metasys and MODBUS systems. The required products are confirmed to be manufactured by MVE Biological Solutions and may be supplied through any authorized distributor channel; the evaluation table has been updated to reflect MVE Biological Solutions as the manufacturer rather than Cryo Associates. Any vegetation-removal language in the original SAM.gov notice has been removed and superseded by the July 13 revised terms focusing solely on cryotank and racking system capability.

Questions and Answers #2
Q1. Block 15 of the SF1449 identifies 1111 South Mason Street, while the revised terms identify 111 South Mason Street. Please confirm the controlling delivery address.
A1: 1111 South Mason Street, Fort Collins Colorado 80521 Q2. Please confirm that the controlling quantities are six MVE 1842P-150AF-GB units, one MVE HECO 1879P-190AF-GB unit, and 108 V-13-2L racks.
A2: Correct 6-1 but I don’t know where 108 came from should be only 54 Q3. Please confirm that the corrected July 13 terms, which require capability to provide the cryotanks and racking system, supersede the vegetation-removal sentence still appearing in the SAM.gov notice description.
A3: This has been updated.
Q4. Please confirm whether FOB-destination performance includes only delivery and unloading at the delivery point or also placement, installation, commissioning, or training.
A4: Typically it gets unloaded and we unpack and place.
Q5. Please identify the intended allocation/configuration of the 108 V-13-2L racks and any required canisters, boxes, accessories, or initial liquid-nitrogen interface work not separately listed in the schedule.
A5: I do not understand this question. We do not need any additional canisters, boxes, or accessories. Just the 54 V-13-2L Vertical Rack for 13 2'' boxes with locking rod PN# V-13-2L.
Q6. The brand-name justification calls for the CryoVerse Connect controller, while the detailed salient characteristics require a TEC 3000 controller compatible with Johnson Controls Metasys and MODBUS. Current product listings distinguish those controller variants and their part numbers. Please confirm the required controller and exact manufacturer part number for each freezer, including whether the listed 1879 part number `20681339` should instead be `13814943` for CryoVerse Connect or `13814943U` for TEC 3000 A6: For the 1879 lets get the 13814943U for TEC 3000 Q7. The evaluation table identifies Cryo Associates as the manufacturer, while current product literature identifies MVE Biological Solutions as the manufacturer and Cryo Associates as a distributor. Please confirm that the named MVE products may be supplied through any authorized channel and identify any required manufacturer or distributor authorization evidence.
A7: This has been updated to reflect MVE Biological Solutions
