1. Addition of Attachment H – Certification of Recall or Safety Issues Attachment H (titled Certification of Recall or Safety Issues) is hereby added to the solicitation, Section D.

“Offerors shall submit Attachment H – Certification of Recall or Safety Issues, signed by an authorized representative of the company, affirming that all proposed items have no outstanding recalls, have no known safety issues, and comply with all applicable medical equipment regulations and safety standards.”

3. Attachment A, Addition to Technical Evaluation Approach (Section E.6.B – Volume I Evaluation) The following language is added under Volume I – Technical Evaluation Approach:

“Attachment H will be evaluated to confirm that all proposed items have no outstanding recalls or known safety issues.
