Battle Creek MI 49037 Jeffrey P. Rozema Contracting Officer jeffrey.rozema@va.gov Department of Veterans Affairs John D. Dingell VA Medical Center 4646 John R Street Detroit, MI 48201 www.va.gov Agency Homepage jeffrey.rozema@va.gov Contracting Officer The following questions and answers are provided below:

Question 1) Can you provide a scope inventory list so that we can quote the correct scope connectors for the air channel drying scope cabinet?

Answer 1) We have Olympus 190 and 180 colonoscopes, and Olympus 190 and 160 gastroscopes.

Question 2) Why are we asking for 32 cassettes when each EndoDry holds eight cassettes, and with three drying units, only 24 are needed?

Answer 2) We need extra cassettes as we transport the scopes on the cassette. The cassettes are not solely used just to dry the scope on. Also note that cassettes must be capable of fitting in the new drying cabinet and in the existing Medivators cleaning machine, since scopes are not taken off the cassette when moving from the cleaning machine to the drying cabinet in order to assure sterilization.

Question 3) Please note that the EndoDry Cabinet, PN #DRY-1001, is a single-sided unit that slides up to the wall and does not require a trim kit. The requested and quoted trim kit, PN #78401-551, only fits the Medivators Advantage Plus Pass-Thru AER (and will not fit the EndoDry Cabinet). Can you please verify if the trim kit is needed or wanted?

Answer 3) The trim kit has been deleted from this requirement.

As a result of these changes, the due date for submission of quotes has been extended until Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at 4:00 PM ET.
