Erik Whitaker Contracting Officer

Ques ons from Vendors:

1. Would there be any restric ons or limita ons to us responding as a reseller of a large business manufacturer for this opportunity?

a. There are no limita ons on subcontrac ng as this is not set‐aside. Items s ll need to be compliant otherwise and items will be evaluated following the solicita on informa on.

2. Were there any specific samples of the packs we should provide to the VA Pi sburgh Healthcare System?

If so, can you please advise and confirm the shipping/delivery guidelines?

a. All offerors are encouraged to send a pack for the evalua on so that it can be thorough and fair.

3. 52.223‐23, Sustainable Products and Services (MAY 2024) (E.O. 14057, 7 U.S.C. 8102, 42 U.S.C. 6962, 42

U.S.C. 8259b, and 42 U.S.C. 7671I) is in effect for this opportunity; however, the custom surgical packs are manufactured for a one‐ me use and would not fall under any of the product/material categories covered in this clause. Would this clause s ll be applicable to this opportunity?

a. The clause applies as prescribed by FAR 23.110(a).

4. Per your response in Amendment 0001, offers will be evaluated based on BAA & TAA regula ons. With no offeror being able to provide packs that comply with these regula ons, would this clause s ll be applicable to this opportunity?

a. The clause applies and the offered items must have their country of origin provided so that items can be evaluated correctly in accordance with FAR 25.

5. Can you please clarify what is meant by the dis nc on of NSP vs Priced in column N?

a. NSP means “not separately priced”. NSP line items do not need a price, but Priced line items

do. For this, we do not need the prices of each item per pack, we just need the pack's total cost.

6. When comple ng this file do, we need to provide the price in column O for each individual pack component or would it be acceptable to provide the price for just the overall pack itself?

a. Just the overall pack price

7. Vendor name & Vendor Part number for each pack component listed in the a ached Excel file?

a. Each Contract Line Item (CLIN) has an associated Sub Line Item Number (SLIN) represented by a double le er. Each SLIN needs the manufacturer name and part number entered by the offeror. The listed SLINs are general descrip ons of the item needed and are not specific to a manufacturer. Offerors can submit CLIN/SLINs for their packs to be evaluated.

8. Updates to the Line items spreadsheet.

a. Removed CLIN 15 IV Start Kit, see a ached new Line items spreadsheet

b. CLIN 12 General Laparoscopy Pack and CLIN 13 General Laparoscopy Pack 2 are different versions.

c. Number in column J represents the es mated number of packs per year. To get the monthly requirement divide the number by 12.
