CONTINUATION PAGE

● Can the two service days be consecutive?

No, they cannot. They need to be two times a month (every other week).

● With all trays to be serviced in one year, how many trays/instruments per day are to be serviced on-site?

Trays are not serviced by year, but by usage or by time reprocessed; one tray can potentially be serviced over 400 times in one year.

● What is the total number of trays? Approximately 5000 not including peel pack RME.

Rigid containers? Approximately 300.

● Is a list of the endoscopes (rigid and flexible) and power equipment available? Yes

● The SOW states all surgical instruments owned by the VA are included under this contract. Is there a list available?

Yes, there is a list. Everything maintained and maintenance within CensiTrac Tracking System.

Does this include autoclaves?

This does not include autoclaves; does include all RME and instrumentation (case carts, carts, etc.)

• How many trays are to be serviced per month/year?

There is no set amount that is to be serviced per month/year. Trays/instruments/peel pack instruments are serviced by usage. One tray can potentially be serviced over 400 times in one year if it is a tray used frequently with low minimum usages. Flexible and rigid scopes are inspected every 3 months.

• The solicitation mentions Power equipment and Rigid and flexible scope, and that you need loaners…are the loaners covered in this contract?

We were not quite sure what this question was asking…Does this cover the price in the contract or does this cover you getting us a loaner?? Please clarify…

• Do you expect that extensive onsite repair and send in will be priced outside the daily rate?

Anything requiring to be repaired or a repair requiring to be sent to your lab/facility (no 2nd/3rd party companies), could be billed and paid by Micropurchase outside of basic package fee for preventative maintenance.
