S05 RFQ 36C24425Q0163 Question Log

Question – Harloff has quoted the cabinets with a tambour (roll up) door, is this a requirement?

Response – The roll top door is not a requirement. Regular hung doors are fine.

Question – Preferred color?

Response – Dark Green, but any is fine

Question – Equipment must not exceed 24" D x 94" H per the established dimensions.” We have an equivalent solution that measure 95” H. Would this difference in height disqualify our proposal?

Response – The size requirements are based on the room size and can not be adjusted.

Question – The requested equipment part number includes tambour roll-up doors however this is not specified in the salient characteristics. Does the VA require the included doors on the equipment or would an alternative door type be needed?

Response – The roll top door is not a requirement. Regular hung doors are fine.

Question -- The size restrictions would preclude some manufacturers. Can the VA provide a detailed explanation how and why its solicitation mandates the follow size restrictions?

Response – The size requirements are based on the room size and cannot be adjusted.

Question - We can provide comparable scope cabinets but would need to provide a max height of 96” or add 6” to the width for a max of 150”. Are these parameters acceptable or do they exclude us from bid?

Response – The size requirements are based on the room size and cannot be adjusted.

Question - The Model Number that is requested is a Tambour (roll-up) door model, but the Salient Characteristics do not seem require that. May we bid a standard door model as it will be less costly?

Response – The roll top door is not a requirement. Regular hung doors are fine.

Question - If a Tambour door is required, can it be plastic or composite rather than metal?

Response – The roll top door is not a requirement. Regular hung doors are fine.

Question - The Salient Characteristics require the cabinet to be compatible with Olympus scopes but does not require internal lumen drying. Per the ST 91 industry guidelines, is internal lumen drying a requirement of this cabinet? If so, is it a requirement to have documented clinical data on the drying time and efficiency?

Response - Internal luminal drying is not required for these cabinets.
