ADDITIONAL Questions Submitted for Solicitation 36A77618Q9087 – Chico Pkg 2 Dental Treatment Units

AMENDMENT A00002

1. QUESTION: We are in the process of developing a response to Solicitation 36A77618Q9087 for Adec dental equipment. We are a small business and one of Adec’s largest and oldest distributors in the Western US. One of our other vendors (and an Adec competitor) is under the impression that you are seeking and accepting alternative product quotes as well. I do not see this noted on any of the solicitation documentation, however on FBO.gov site it does mention “or equal”. https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=775edca7a4c8a816e9681492462c9806&tab=core&_cview=1 DESCRIPTION: A contract is needed for the Chico VA Clinic for below listed brand name or EQUAL equipment.

We intend to provide a quotation for Adec products per the RFQ but do you want similar quote on and alternative product as well?

ANSWER: The solicitation is for Adec or equal products. Quotes for brand name and/or equal products that meet the salient characteristics specified in the Statement of Work (SOW) will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria specified in Section E of the solicitation. A vendor can submit more than one quote. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.205(b) states: “Contracting officers should allow offerors to propose more than one product that will meet a Government need in response to solicitations for commercial items. The contracting officer shall evaluate each product as a separate offer.”

2. QUESTION: I have a small business dealer who reached out to me for assistances in bidding this solicitation. I noticed the JSN numbers are specific to a certain manufacturer, ADEC, which puts us and the service disable dealer at a disadvantage since it seems to be brand specific and not a true offering to an equivalent. Several of the JSNs don’t even exist on the military website for JSN such as D0670-A. There is a D0670 and we have the ability to offer the cabinet in question; but, this item is specific again, to ADEC, and asks for a 98” cabinet. If this is ADEC specific and no other manufacturer quotes will be allowed please let me know. As is, it appears to be the case.

ANSWER: JSN numbers with an alphabetical letter at the end of the number (ex: D0670-A) are required items that deviate from the original JSN descriptions found at: https://ms1691.facilities.health.mil/milstd1691/#/. These items, while similar, have slightly different specifications from their original counterpart and are, thus, identified and listed as a separate new item. This solicitation is for Adec or equal products (Adec being used as the basis of design) that meet the specifications stated in the SOW. If a vendor quotes an “or equal” item, they will be required to meet the specifications and will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria specified in Section E of the solicitation. Additionally, please see the attached REVISED SOW (v3 dated August 15, 2018) for additional clarification regarding item specifications.

3. QUESTION: There are no doctor or assistant dental stools noted on the bid. Should they be included now?

ANSWER: These items are not being procured with this requirement.

4. QUESTION: There is no assistant’s instrumentation noted for delivery units. Is this something needed?

ANSWER: These items are not being procured with this requirement.

5. QUESTION: There are no instruments noted such as electric motor, curing light, ultrasonic. These are typical on many government bids. Should they have been included?

ANSWER: These items are not being procured with this requirement.

6. QUESTION: The main body of the solicitation says shipping is Independence OH; but the text on the delivery schedule B3, page 4, has delivery to Chico CA. This will matter for installation costs as airfare, etc. are considered in calculating. Will it be delivered to Independence OH or Chico CA?

ANSWER: Delivery is to the Chico, CA VA Clinic as identified in the Delivery Schedule, Section B3. Block 15 of the SF-1449 is incorrect and should read:

Chico VA Clinic
