Amendment to answer questions asked for solicitation no. 36C24225Q0267 Amendment to answer questions asked for solicitation no. 36C24225Q0267.

Q1: Requiring OEM certified technicians for each make and model will not be possible due to a few reasons. Stryker and Arjo do not provide training outside of their own staff. Additionally, with the various makes and models, I expect that it will be impossible to find a vendor that has technicians certified in each.

Would you consider adjusting the requirement to "trained and qualified technicians" instead of "OEM certified technicians"?

A1: Contractors are to provide documentation that demonstrates technicians are trained/qualified to service all equipment listed in the SOW.

Changes to RFQ:

1. B.1 STATEMENT OF WORK

F. SCOPE OF WORK

· PERSONNEL

· The Field Service Engineer is required to be trained/qualified to service all equipment listed in the SOW, and the Contractor shall provide the supporting documentation upon request.

2. E11. 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Nov 2021)

· FACTOR 1 TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

c. Offerors shall provide documentation that contractor employees (field service engineer(s)) who will be performing under the proposed contract are trained/qualified to service all equipment listed in the SOW- Equipment List.
