1. On Attachment A, the cost price schedule, column H is the unit price and column J is the total price with the SLA fee included, is the unit price or should I multiply the unit price by the quantity in column D? -

· Government Answer: Attached is a revised Attachment A- Cost/Price Schedule.

1. On Attachment A, the cost price schedule, I plan on showing the one-year contract pricing but where do I list the two 12-month option periods?

· Government Answer: Tabs are included on the spreadsheet to list option year periods.

1. Pricing is FOB destination, should I add the freight amount to the unit price?

· Government Answer: That is determined by the vendor. Please understand the Government will not pay for separate shipping.

1. Does the one-year pricing go from October 2019 – September 2020? And then option year one is October 2020 – September 2021 and so on?

· Government Answer: Performance period will start after award has been made. It will go through 12 months.

1. I noticed that delivery will be to VA medical facilities throughout the United States, U.S. Territories, Guam, and the Philippines. To my knowledge, the Philippines uses 220V, however, the models on the RFQ are only 115V. Is the facility there able to use 115V power?

· Government Answer: A voltage converter will "step down" the voltage from 220-240 volts supplied by the outlet to 110-120 volts so that the equipment can be safely used. Since the 220V version would be minimum. The facilities would be able to purchase a 220v unit if it so desires to.
