The updated technical specifications and corresponding updated compliance matrix are being provided via this amendment. Please be sure to use the amended compliance matrix in your responses.

6. Regarding Unsupported Operating System (e.g. Windows 7, etc.) : According to VA policy (VA DIRECTIVE 6550 published June 3, 2019), “Procurement of systems with unsupported operating systems is prohibited. Unsupported operating systems are

OSs that are not supported by the manufacturer and have reached the end of the OS lifecycle as published by the OS manufacturer (i.e. no further security patches will be released for the OS by the manufacturer after the OS end-of-life nor will be available by other methods such as extended warranty purchases from the OS manufacture).”

Therefore, if the proposed medical device includes an unsupported OS (as listed on the 6550), the medical device vendor should provide a support plan for the device

(i.e. purchase of extended warranty from the OS manufacturer, an upgrade path to a supported OS, pending contract mod to add to price list – submitted to contracting on xx date, etc.). Support plans should be located in the Information folders by equipment type. The name of each document must follow this naming convention example: OS SUPPORT PLAN- XR-US, Model ABC, Vendor XYZ.
