Government responses on the Continuation Page hereby amends the terms of the solicitation.

LaSheena Christian Contracting Officer, AS5

VA-OPA-2021-ED7703FD

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. How imperative is the 30 days delivery, and what quantity do you anticipate? Can we use our ECAT delivery terms of 120 days or sooner if in stock?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

The delivery terms in the combined synopsis solicitation notice are hereby amended to:

“Delivery shall be provided within 120 days after receipt of order (ARO).”

As stated in Attachment C – Operating Tables – Contract Administration, Sec. C.6(c), “The estimated total quantities are listed on ATTACHMENT A – OPERATING TABLES – PRICE LIST. The quantities provided are estimates only, and VA makes no guarantee regarding the actual quantities that may be purchased.”

Q2. Do we have an opportunity to add/change/delete or is this a firm contract for 5 years?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

As stated in the combined synopsis solicitation notice, “This procurement effort is to establish a 12-months base contract with four (4) 12-month option periods.” Additionally, Attachment E - Operating Tables – Solicitation Provision, specifically Sec. E.8 ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021) states:

“Quoters are hereby advised that any Quoter-imposed terms and conditions and/or assumptions which deviate from the Government’s material terms and conditions established by the Solicitation, may render the Quoter’s proposal Unacceptable, and thus ineligible for award.”

Q3. On the Statement of work "The following SC’s apply to CLIN’s 0001 - 0006" states a sliding top but it really should be CLIN's 0001, 0002, 0005-0008. 0003 & 0004 are rotating tops. Can we get that statement revised?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description has been revised and replaced with Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description rv1.

Q4. On the statement of work "The following SC's apply to CLIN's 0004" states a rotating top but it really should be CLIN's 0003 & 0004.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description has been revised and replaced with Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description rv1.

Q5. There are only a few of our accessories on the attachment A, should we add all of our accessories on there, or just go off the fact that they will receive the accessories that are on ECAT at ECAT discounting?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

As stated in Attachment B – Operating Tables - Product Description:

“ Vendors may quote any product solution or configuration so long as they meet the salient characteristics. Vendors are asked to quote any additional product that may be beneficial. These items must be captured in the vendor’s pricing volume.”

Vendors are encouraged to list any recommended accessories in Volume 2 – Price of their quote.

Q6. In CLIN’s 0001-0006 table, under item SC1, can you confirm the “sliding top” requirement really applies to CLIN’s 0001, 0002, 0005, 0006, 0007 & 0008 and not to CLIN’s 0003 & 0004?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

See response to Q3 and Q4 above. Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description has been revised and replaced with Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description rv1.

Q7. In CLIN’s 0001-0006, item SC2 states “Adjustable table height between 19” and 50””, can you confirm the high and low height requirement, as we are unaware of any operating table on the market that goes lower than 20.5” or higher than 48”?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description has been revised and replaced with Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description rv1.

Q8. In CLIN’s 0005, item SC8 states “Height Adjustable between 19” and 45”” which appears to be in conflict with the capabilities of the item referenced in CLIN 0005 The Clarity Tables height range is 28” to 42”) Can you confirm which specification is correct?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

See the response to Q7. Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description has been revised and replaced with Attachment B - Operating Tables - Product Description rv1.

Q9. We are reviewing the solicitation for the subject requirement and CLIN 0034 lists the same part number that was released on the sources sought but shows a different description. Can you please confirm which of these descriptions are accurate? It seems that it should be the item that was listed on the sources sought notice but wanted to confirm.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

The item description for CLIN 0034 is a typo in Attachment A. However, the correct information is provided in the product table on Attachment B - Product Description. Attachment A - Operating Tables – Price List has been revised and replaced with Attachment A - Operating Tables – Price List rv1.

Q10. I was trying to find in the Solicitation what the exact number of units (Operating Tables) will be needed for the VA Facilities; but I was unable to come up with an exact number. Could you please let me know where I can find that particular information?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

As stated in Attachment C – Operating Tables – Contract Administration, Sec. C.6(c), “The estimated total quantities are listed on ATTACHMENT A – OPERATING TABLES – PRICE LIST. The quantities provided are estimates only, and VA makes no guarantee regarding the actual quantities that may be purchased.”

This solicitation is for a Single Award Requirements contract, whereby, future orders will be placed with the awardee. There is no guarantee of order volume.

Q11. Also, I would like to get the past Award History for these Operating Tables as it pertains to the VA?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE:

VA has procured operating tables from a variety of OEMs and authorized distributors. You can search www.fpds.gov website for “operating tables” and filter by Veterans Administration to get an idea of recent award history.
