Page 1 of Page 1 of QUESTION / INQUIRY: “The VA cites a line item for the rental of 6K cylinders; however, there is no apparent line item for the corresponding gas assigned to the 6K cylinders. We request the VA either identify the line item assigned or establish one so the requirement and pricing can be contemplated by bidders.”

ANSWER: In response to the inquiry, each rental line item has been identified with corresponding description(s) from supply line items.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: One error was fixed on the original Pricing Schedule whereby Air USP Grade was miscategorized as “High Pressure” based on a pricing guide that was outdated.
