Charnell Cunningham Contract Specialist Security Gates and Wedge Barrier Preventative Maintenance 36C24220Q0325 Questions and Answer

1) I am reaching out in regards to RFQ 36C24220Q0325 for the barrier maintenance at the VA in New York. We are eager and would love to submit a bid for this contract. However, upon request for a manual from Guardiar/Secure USA, we were told that they do not offer manuals for their equipment. The representative from Guardiar advised that the owner of the equipment (3600 series wedge) would have received a manual from the original purchase of the equipment and the owner would have to request another.

I am wondering if the issue above would be something you can assist with by a) requesting Guardiar/ Secure USA to provide or b) provide to the winning bid? Without the ability to acquire the manual or a manufacturer’s certification, this seems as it may have become a sole source request by default since Guardiar/ Secure USA is the only vendor to have either requirement.

A: Yes, the facility has the manual of the Future 3600 Series Wedge Equipment and will provide it to the winning bid.
