About this file

This is Amendment 0002 to a federal solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2 in Buffalo, New York.

The amendment, effective September 14, 2026, addresses vendor questions and clarifications regarding Section E.1 technician qualification requirements in solicitation 36C24227Q0016. The Government provided responses to two key questions: (1) offerors may demonstrate technician qualifications through documented training programs, ISO 13485:2016 quality system training, competency records, continuing education, and industry certifications when OEM factory training credentials are unavailable due to manufacturers not providing formal training or certification programs to independent service organizations; and (2) possession of either HSPA Certified Central Service Vendor Partner (CCSVP) or Certified Registered Central Service Technician (CRCST) certification satisfies the Government's requirement in the absence of Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) certification, recognizing that HSPA does not permit individuals to hold both CCSVP and CRCST certifications simultaneously. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. Contracting Officer Joseph Cellino issued the amendment with no extension to the offer receipt deadline.

A.1 VENDOR QUESTIONS (Customer response in red text):

Question: Section E.1 requires submission of "OEM Factory Training Credentials" for proposed technicians. Please clarify whether offerors may demonstrate technician qualifications through documented training programs, ISO 13485:2016 quality system training, competency records, continuing education, and industry certifications when OEM factory training credentials are unavailable due to manufacturers not providing formal training or certification programs to independent service organizations. Yes

Question: Section E.1 requires technician resumes to include HSPA Certified Central Service

Vendor Partner (CCSVP) certification and Certified Registered Central Service Technician

(CRCST) certification, or Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) certification. HSPA does not permit a single individual to hold both CCSVP and CRCST certifications simultaneously. In the absence of a CBSPD certification, will possession of either

CCSVP or CRCST certification satisfy the Government's requirement? Yes
