X x x March 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM (EST) See CONTINUATION Page The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate Questions & Answers related to this solicitation and to extend the Request for Quote (RFQ) closing date and time through March 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM (EST). See amendment summary on page 2 for further details.

CONTINUATION PAGE

a. The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate the following Questions & Answers related to this solicitation:

Q1. Can we obtain a previous report for the facility? Can we get a description of the room and the Nuclear Medicine Service area? (for example, 3 room suite ante, IV sterile, HD sterile, 1 bsc, 1 lfh, 6 ceiling HEPA filters, Sample locations, how are the HEPA filters challenged?)

A1. See documents “HSS Report – PR VA USP 797 Compliance-Nuclear Medicine 20200619” and 5002-221689-21506”, which provides the requested information.

Q2. For these three Items –

3.1.1 Gowning and Garbing Evaluation

3.1.2 Gloved fingertip and thumb sampling

3.1.3 Media-Fill Testing

Will all employees be available on the same day and on the same shift for this evaluation? If no, how many days and shift would be expected?

A2. The Government will coordinate with the service to have all the employees available during scheduled visits.

Q3. Performance summary. This matrix is not very clear; PRS#1, 2 and 3 and under remedies column it says, "Re-perform tasks within 3 working days at no additional cost to the Government". Can you provide further explanation?

A3. The remedies under the PRS are provided to the contractor as an opportunity to correct defective services, which are not as per the Performance Work Statement. An example may be that the service was schedule for X date and the contractor failed to arrive in such date. Another example maybe that the contractor did not test all the equipment and/or areas during the visits, etc. In these cases, the contractor will have to re-perform the services within three calendar days without additional cost to the government.

b. The closing date and time of this RFQ is extended through March 23, 2021 at 2:00 PM. Contractors are reminded to acknowledge this amendment and include a copy of it in the quote package.

c. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
