Washington DC 20006 Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Benefits Administration St Louis Regional Office 9700 Page Avenue Saint Louis, MO 63132 Jorge.Martin@va.gov Jorge.Martin@va.gov The combined synopsis solicitation 36C10E19Q0105 0001 is amended to answer the following vendor questions.

1) QUESTION: Is it possible to get the documents to submit a response to this opportunity?

ANSWERS: There are attachments posted. The links of the attachments are located near the top on the right of the FedBizOpps’ webpage for this solicitation.

2) QUESTION: Can the VA provide historical volume information off of the devices they are looking to replace? Monthly or annually and how long they have had them for. Do they require secure print capabilities?

ANSWER: The estimated volumes listed in the statement of work are the monthly historical averages of the copiers being replaced. The copiers being replaced are on a 60-month lease which was extended for six months for a total of 66 months. The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that products must meet are specified within the Statement of Work.

3) QUESTION: Would you be willing to move this solicitation to the SEWP V contract vehicle so that we may provide a response? OR 2. Would you be willing to accept a proposal under NAICS code 541519? OR 3. Would you be willing to accept a SEWP V contract response to your open market FBO posting? If awarded against a SEWP V contract, the procurement would be non-protestable up to $10M.

ANSWER: No. Market research indicates NAICS 532420, Office Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing is the most appropriate for the requirement. Only Open market, SDVOSB set-aside quotes received via FBO will be accepted under NAICS 532420.

4) QUESTION: Will the Government require CAC/PIV authentication on all units? With the Black and White – 1,000 sheet finisher, will the government require 2/3 hole punching as well a Faxing? Would the Government accept an internal Finisher for the Black and White units – 500‐sheet stapling ‐ to save money? What does the Government mean by the term; with attachment kit for the finishers that are required on these units?

ANSWER: The salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics that products must meet are specified within the Statement of Work. Kyocera models require an attachment kit such as part number AK-7100 to add the 1,000-sheet finisher.

There are no other changes.
