Dayton Tool Sharpening Questions and Answers:

1. Per your answers from solicitation #36C25024Q0079, you stated this was strictly onsite stainless instrument repair and maintenance with lap instrumenting with very little case cart repair and semiannual sterilizer cleaning, but the evaluation factors are identical to the previous solicitant #36C25024Q0079 and referencing rigid scope camera repair and turnaround times. Do you expect evaluation factor #5 to answer pertaining to surgical device repair or should it refer to extensive stainless hand instrumentation sent into the repair depot for repair and the timeframe of completion for those items?

All ridged scopes were removed from inventory. The majority of repairs will be surgical stainless steel and Laparoscopic instrumentation. Evaluation factor number 5 reflects this now by the removal of equipment that was listed in parenthesis in initial posting.

2. In our previous set of questions, we asked for clarification regarding factor #3. You answered the item was being amended to respond within 1 business day to the initial call and then what the response would be for an emergency repair. Can we have this reworded, so it conveys what you are needing answered please?

To clarify we will be sticking with an initial phone call response within 1 hour and 24 hours on-site.
