Solicitation Number 36C24627Q0092 Centrifuge Preventative Maintenance

Questions & Answers

1. Pricing Structure for CLINs 0010, 1010, 2010, 3010, and 4010 (Repair Services / Emergency Onsite Response - Parts & Labor, Qty: 1.00 EA): Section B.3 (Pages 5-6) states that the contractor shall submit emergency repair proposals identifying all cost components for COR review and Contracting Officer approval before repairs proceed.

For evaluation parity on the Price/Cost Schedule, should offerors enter a standard on-site emergency diagnostic/hourly labor rate on CLIN X010 (with specific repair parts and labor proposed per incident for CO approval), or is there a Government-established annual Not-To-Exceed (NTE) ceiling amount that all offerors should enter on CLIN X010?

Answer: Yes, enter an hourly rate and the Government established annual Not-to- Exceed amount is $3,000.00.

2. Equipment Quantities vs. Bi-Annual Visit Quantities (CLINs X001 through X009): The Equipment List in Section B.3 (Page 5) lists one specific Serial Number per line item with a Bi-Annual frequency (October and April). Please confirm that there is one (1) physical instrument per line item (9 instruments total), and that the Quantity of 2.00 EA on CLINs X001 through X009 represents the two (2) semi-annual preventive maintenance visits per year for each instrument.

Answer: Yes, one line item for each piece of equipment, and two semi-annual preventative checks due in April and October.

3. Evaluation Factors & Quote Submission Instructions (Section E.7, Page 50): The evaluation factors under FAR 52.212-2 on Page 50 appear to be blank. Please confirm the applicable evaluation factors (including SDVOSB/VOSB evaluation credit under VAAR 852.215-70) and confirm that completed quotations should be submitted via email to Monique.Cordero@va.gov by November 12, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST.

Answer: The evaluations factors are Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price.

This can be found under Section E.2 Basis for Award explains the basis for award and give an information for each of the evaluation factors. Section 52.212-2 pg. 50 will be amended to include this information.

4. Equipment Quantities: The pricing schedule lists a quantity of two for each instrument, although only one serial number is identified per model. Could you confirm whether this represents two preventive maintenance visits annually for each instrument?

Answer: Yes, this if for two preventive maintenance visits annually for each instrument.

mailto:Monique.Cordero@va.gov

5. Emergency Repair Pricing: How should contractors price the emergency repair CLINs, considering that the SOW requires separate repair estimates and prior approval? Should these CLINs include an annual allowance, fixed service fee, or another pricing structure?

Answer: The SOW requires separate repair estimates and prior approval and pricing should be entered as an hourly rate. This Clin sill be amended to show the Government established annual Not-to-Exceed amount is $3,000.00 without additional approval.

6. Emergency Response: Does the 24-hour on-site response requirement apply only to emergencies reported during normal business hours, or does it also extend to weekends and federal holidays?

Answer: The Emergency Response: 24-hour on-site response does not only apply to emergencies reported during normal business hours, but it does also extends to weekends and federal holidays.

7. Evaluation and Submission: Section E.7 does not specify the evaluation factors. Could you confirm whether technical qualifications and past performance documentation are required, along with the applicable quotation submission method?

Answer: Under Section E.1 Instructions to Offerors there are instructions and E.1 (2) details all information necessary to evaluate the factors (Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price) that are outlined in under Section E.2 Basis for Award explains the basis for award and give an information for each of the evaluation factors. Section 52.212-2 pg. 50 will be amended to include this information.

8. We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services.

Answer: The Durham VAMC currently has a contract for this services which expires March 31,2027.

9. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

Answer: The current contract number is 36C24622P0316.

10. Submission: the solicitation does not include instructions for submitting quotes. Should quotes be emailed to you, and is there a required format or content (for example, the completed price schedule and technical information)?

Answer: Section E.1 Instruction to Offerors includes instructions for submitting quotes and states that all the information on the format and contact for submitting quotes. This section will be amened to extend the submission deadline.

11. Evaluation: the evaluation factors in FAR 52.212-2 are blank. Will award be made on lowest price, or on a best-value basis with other factors?

Answer: Section E.2 Basis for Award explains the basis for award and addressed how award will be made.

12. Can you explain again the requirements for performing emergency repairs?

Answer: Emergency repairs will include any work needed to restore the equipment to working order, to include repairs, adjustments, and parts as needed.

13. If our technicians find repairs are needed when performing the preventive maintenance service, do they complete the repairs at that time?

Answer: If technicians find that repairs are needed when performing preventative maintenance, they should make repairs at time if they have all necessary parts to repair the equipment. If the necessary parts are not available on that day then arrangements need to be made to fix the equipment once all parts are available to ensure the equipment is restored to functional operation.

14. If an equipment user calls our office with a repair request and that request requires a diagnostic on-site inspection of the equipment to determine the exact repair costs, how is the cost of that diagnostic on-site inspection covered? Do we have to get approval for the cost of the on-site diagnostic visit cost before we send a technician on-site?

Answer: Repair services and Onsite Response was listed under CLIN 0010 and VA approval would not be required if a diagnostic visit cost was within the yearly $3,000.00 repair set-aside, but it would require approval if the $3,000.00 is already spent for that year.

15. Does the preventive maintenance service visits require coverage for any parts?

Answer: The preventative maintenances services visit require coverage for parts as repairs identified as necessary during preventative maintenance should be completed to include parts for the equipment to maintain fully functional operation.

16. Are the repair services/emergency on-site responses for parts and labor line items in the price/cost schedule a blanket amount of funds to bill against for repair services/emergency on-site responses that may get used in its entirety in a contract year or may not? Are these services invoiced each time an emergency repair service is completed or would they be invoiced in conjunction with the PM service billing?

Answer: Invoicing should be for the regular PM services in April or Oct. Emergency services, bill separately as an emergency up to $3,000 without consulting with contracting for any increase. Anything outside of this would require a quote and approval prior to proceeding without any work.

17. What happens if all the repair services/emergency on-site responses monies are not used?

Answer: The line-item for Repair Services/Emergency (On-Site Response to include parts and labor) should not be invoices if it has not been used. If these funds are not used a decrease modification will be issued to reflect the funds have not been used.
