Questions Received for Solicitation 36C10G19Q0012- NX EQ Table Operating

1. The solicitation refers to Skytron BNOE Tables. All STERIS OR Tables meet or exceed all of the Skytron listed salient characteristics with the exception of the following- The Skytron Model 3008 has a lateral slide of 18” and the STERIS Model Surgigraph 6000 has a lateral slide of 16”.

Will this small deviation prevent STERIS from providing a valid bid for this solicitation?

Answer: The lateral side length is not a discriminating factor for this requirement.

2. The solicitation refers to delivery to U.S. Territories, Guam and the Philippines. When shipping CONUS the freight charges differ unless the POE is within CONUS. If no POE within CONUS how will we adjust for shipping to these overseas destinations? Will each specific destination shipping charges be addressed within the contract?

Answer: Vendors may submit two prices for each CLIN, one for Contiguous States (CONUS) and one for Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) to account for shipping costs.
