Solicitation 36C24418Q0472 Amendment 1; Hepatitis and Immunoassay Testing VA Pittsburgh

1. Statement of work Section 1.1.2 Operational Features mentions that the instrumentation shall have the capability to perform 100% of the tests “listed in section 2.3” and volume and service “demands as defined in section 2.3.” This was a mistake in the solicitation. The RFQ is hereby amended to replace “section 2.3” with “section 1.7” under Section 1.1.2. This revision shall be reflected in the final contract document.

2. Is it acceptable to submit offer electronically? Yes….offers should be submitted electronically to herbert.byrns@va.gov . Offers shall be composed and submitted as instructed in Section E, Instructions to Offerors.

3. The solicitation document is protected. Can you unlock the document to allow for direct input of responses into the actual RFP itself? Yes….an unprotected unchanged RFQ package is attached to this amendment. Another method of modifying the RFQ document would be to save in a PDF version and then edit the PDF document.

4. Please confirm, the Base period is 3 months and options are for annual periods? Yes…that is confirmed. Base and Option periods are correct as presented on the RFQ 1449 document.

5. Vendors are reminded to acknowledge receipt of this Amendment with their offers as described in Section 11 of the SF30.
