X X X See CONTINUATION Page X The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions regarding the combined synopsis 36C24925Q0108. Please see the attached questions and answers.

Questions and Answers

1. Question: In reviewing solicitation 36C24925Q0108, I wanted to make sure there were no “Set-Aside” requirements. I see that it doesn't show a "Set-Aside" under General Information but there is SDVOSB language on pages 10 & 11.

Answer: There is no “Set-Aside” requirement for this solicitation, and it is and UNRESTRICTED BRAND NAME solicitation. There is SDVOSB verbiage in it in case a SDVOSB sends in a quote.

2. Question: A request to see if the medical center BioMed would consider a consultive site visit.

Answer: Time does not allow for a site visit currently.

3. Question: I would like to formally request that this requirement be a set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSBs) in accordance with FAR 19.1406.

Answer: Because of the Kingdomware Technologies ruling, two or more SDVOSB’s would have to be authorized by the OEM manufacture and meet the rule of two as well as be fair and reasonable to be a SDVOSB set-aside. The VA also does not want to lose OEM warranty as they state that they only have 1 SDVOSB vendor authorized to distribute so it must be solicited as unrestricted brand name. A letter stating that the vendor is an authorized distributor for Spacelab Corporation will need to be included to be considered.
