RFQ 36C24523Q1220 Question & Answer (All information has been confirmed with the requesting program office) Q: Is imaging needed for all 14 units?
A: Yes, imaging will be needed for all 14 slit lamps.
Q: For multiple quote responses, will two separate quotes of SF 1449 be needed or include both in one SF 1449?
A: Please include one singed SF 1449 with a quote response. Multiple price/cost schedules offering different products can be added in one quote response.
Q: CLIN 0002 - Imaging Module - Zeiss SL Cam. You do not list a Zeiss Part Number so I assume it is the SL Cam Compact Imaging with SL Imaging Software. Could you please confirm.
A: Yes, CLIN 0002 is brand name or equal to the SL Cam Compact Imaging with SL Imaging Software. This will be reflected in an amendment.
Q: CLIN 0002 - You do not state if it is with the PC option so I am assuming it does not have that option. Could you please confirm.
A: CLIN 0002 is to offer a PC option. If not included with CLIN 002, please add an additional line item.
Q: CLIN 0003 - Measuring Prisms. You do not list a Zeiss part number. A) Could you provide the part number so I make sure I am offering the proper Equal to? B) I assume this is the Zeiss tonometer as the SL 800 does not come with a tonometer and this is the only CLIN that Clinical Requirements Criteria “Goldman application tonometer attached for measuring intraocular pressure” would be met with a Zeiss tonometer. Could you please confirm.
A: CLIN 0003 – Measuring Prisms is brand name or equal to: Zeiss Applanation tonometer AT 030. This will be reflected in an amendment.
Q: Technical Requirements Criteria states “Ability to provide both illumination characteristics (LED and Halogen)”. The Zeiss SL 800 Light Source is LED only (SL 800 Brochure attached). Halogen is not a light or illumination source on the SL 800. May I suggest this Technical Requirements Criteria be eliminated as you already cover LED light source under the Clinical Requirements Criteria and you cover filters in another line item in Technical Requirements Criteria.
A: The criteria listed in the SOW of the ability to provide both illumination characteristics (LED and Halogen) will be removed from the SOW and will not be considered in the evaluation of quote responses. This will be reflected in an amendment.
Q: If Slit lamps come with imaging module, are you seeking additional imaging modules in CLIN 0002?
A: No, we are seeking 14 slit lamps with imaging modules. If the Slit lamp and imaging module come as a set, please reflect the price of the set in CLIN 0001 and put “include” or “N/A” for pricing in CLIN 0002. Please ensure all items listed in your quote response are compatible with one another and requirements listed in the statement of work.
