Amendment to answer questions. All questions are to be submitted by 11am EDT 10/30/2026, after that date, no more questions will be answered.

Vendor questions

Is this a total small business set-aside? If so, does the Nonmanufacturer Rule apply, meaning a small business that is not the manufacturer can supply the equipment if it is made by a small business manufacturer? Yes, this is a total small business set-aside. The NMR does not apply for small business set asides under the simplified acquisition threshold.

2. The evaluation says the vendor must be present at delivery and perform setup on-site in

Oregon City. May a local technician or installer working on my behalf handle that? Yes

3. Is the award all-or-none for the six-line items, or can I quote on individual items? All items must be quoted

4. Does the 45-calendar day delivery clock start at award, or when the Veteran's address is provided? Upon award - at that point the vendor’s full address will be provided.

Delivery location: The solicitation lists Oregon City, OR 97405. Could you confirm the correct city and ZIP code, along with any access restrictions, stairs, or unloading requirements? We don’t need the veteran’s street address at this stage. This is for Oregon City, Oregon, ZIP code

97045.

On-site delivery and setup: May an OEM-authorized technician or qualified subcontractor perform delivery, placement, setup, and operational inspection on vendor’s behalf, or must an employee also be present? Yes

Past performance: The solicitation requests three references but allows a neutral rating for offerors without relevant past performance. May a newer prime submit clearly identified references from its proposed equipment supplier or installation subcontractor? Yes

Sourcing requirements: Could you confirm whether the nonmanufacturer rule applies to this acquisition and whether foreign-manufactured equipment may be considered when properly disclosed in the required Buy American Certificate? NMR does not apply; Exceptions that allow the purchase of a foreign end product are listed at RFO 25.103. The unreasonable cost exception is implemented through the use of an evaluation factor applied to low foreign offers.25.101 General.
