RE: 36C24421Q0272 | New 5-year Specialty Mattress Rental solicitation | VA Erie Medical Center

Answers to two (2) Questions received

Question #1:

Re: Width Updated Language: Mattress width requirements: Minimum 39 inches with a Maximum of 48 inches.

• is 42” an acceptable size based on the requirements? Based on how it is written, 42” should be acceptable, but wanted to validate if the intent was 39” or 48” only.

Answer #1: Yes, this would be acceptable width per our parameters of Minimum of 39 inches with a Maximum of 48 inches.

Question #2:

• Would it be possible for you to make a change to the NAICS code, to allow for more competition?

Answer #2

This information is provided by NCO4’s Small Business Administration (SBA) Procurement Center Representative (PCR):

“A Small Business (SB) does not need to have the NAICS code on their SAM record in order to quote on a particular requirement. The requirement is that the SB must meet the size standard for the NAICS selected for the solicitation.”

This solicitation is unrestricted to any company size and is not a set-aside
