RFQ 36C24926Q0375 Amendment 1: Questions & Answers

1. SAM.gov lists NAICS 339113, while the attached RFQ lists NAICS 339112. Which NAICS code controls?

ANSWER: 339112 is the NAICS

2. Section (vi) references an attached Statement of Work, but a Statement of Work does not appear to be included. Will one be provided?

ANSWER: Section VI is updated to read, “ No SOW is required based on supply action”

3. The RFQ requires completion of FAR 52.225-2, but a separate Buy American Certificate was not included. Should offerors reproduce and complete the provision directly from the FAR?

ANSWER: Yes

4. CLINs 0029 and 0030 both identify VATA model 10-81-7082-DARK. Please confirm whether both CLINs require the same model and skin tone.

ANSWER: Changed CLIN 0030 to LIGHT versus DARK

5. Does CLIN 0009 require the complete SAM IV bundle in addition to the individual components listed under CLINs 0010 through 0014?

ANSWER: CLIN 0009 thru 0014 are all needed

6. Please provide the required part numbers or skin-tone selections for the Gaumard IV training arms under CLINs 0033 through 0035.

ANSWER: SKU 11-99-9840P

7. What is the required delivery date following award?

ANSWER: NLT 01/31/2027 is required delivery date.

8. The RFQ includes FAR 52.219-33. Has an SBA waiver to the Nonmanufacturer Rule been issued for this procurement or any of its line items?

ANSWER: The NAICS 339112 & 339113 are listed on SBA page with waiver dated 5/31/2018 83Fed. Reg 24919

9. Please confirm whether the authorized-dealer and STERIS-certification language applies to these simulation products and whether an authorization letter from the supplying distributor or each individual manufacturer is required.

ANSWER: Authorization letter from each individual manufacture.

10. CLINs 0004–0006 (Wound Care Assessment Sets, brand ref: Laerdal 11-81-3250/0105) — the salient characteristics note these must be "compatible with Nursing Anne or Nursing Kelly manikins." Please confirm whether the government has existing Nursing Anne/Nursing Kelly manikins in use that these items must physically interface with, or whether this note is descriptive only. This will determine whether an "equal" (non-Laerdal) product can meet the requirement.

ANSWER: Yes

11. CLINs 0016–0018 (Multi-Venous IV Training Arm, brand ref: Laerdal 11-81-0700) and CLINs 0033–0035 (Intravenous Training Arm, brand ref: SKU 11-99-9840P Gaumard) — please confirm whether these items are tied to any existing software, app, or instructor-station ecosystem that would require the specific brand, or whether an "equal" product meeting the listed salient characteristics would be acceptable.

ANSWER: Name Brand on each

12. The salient characteristics call for a “high-fidelity, life-like arm with detailed anatomy.” Is a full anatomical arm itself a mandatory requirement, or would the VA consider a different physical design that meets the required IV training functions and performance capabilities?

ANSWER: Yes, Full anatomical arm with High-fidelity, life-like arm with detailed anatomy.

13. Would the VA consider a compact IV training platform that provides venipuncture, IV catheter insertion, blood/fluid simulation, repeated access, tactile feedback, and portability, but does not replicate a complete anatomical arm?

ANSWER: No

14. The specifications reference visible veins, arteries, and realistic skin textures. Are these specific anatomical features mandatory, or may an alternate design demonstrate equivalent procedural training capability through a different construction?

ANSWER: Yes, specific anatomical features are mandatory

15. If the alternate product meets the functional and performance requirements but differs from the specified arm-style form factor, would manufacturer specifications, brochures, and a point-by-point compliance matrix be sufficient for technical evaluation?

ANSWER: No

16. The solicitation states that the trainer must be easy to maintain, including simple reskinning and a single-line veining system. MochTech’s system uses easy vein removal and reusable skins rather than a traditional arm reskinning process. Would the VA consider this type of maintenance design acceptable if it provides equivalent or easier upkeep for repeated training use?

ANSWER: As long as it has the single-line Veining system

17. Is there a specific requirement that the replacement skin, vein system, or other consumable components be replaceable by VA personnel, or may they be replaced using the manufacturer’s standard maintenance process?

ANSWER: Yes, not able to rely on manufacture standards

18. Does the VA require replacement skins, veins, fluid systems, or other consumables to be included with the initial purchase, or may those items be purchased separately as needed?

ANSWER: Purchased Separately

19. Is there a required minimum warranty period for the Advanced IV Training Arm, or may the manufacturer’s standard warranty be provided?

ANSWER: Manufacture Warranty is acceptable

20. Does the VA require onsite repair/service capability for this trainer, or is manufacturer telephone/remote support and return-to-manufacturer/depot repair acceptable?

ANSWER: telephone/remote support and return-to-manufacturer/depot repair is acceptable

21. Is there a required response or turnaround time for warranty repairs or replacement units?

ANSWER: 30 Days or Less

22. Does the VA require the manufacturer or distributor to maintain replacement parts and consumables for a specific number of years after purchase?

ANSWER: No

23. Are preventive maintenance, calibration, or annual inspections required for the Advanced IV Training Arm, or is routine user maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions sufficient?

ANSWER: routine user maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions is sufficient
