CONTINUATION PAGE

1. Q: Will award be made in the aggregate for both line items to a single vendor, or can line items 0001 and 0002 be awarded separately?

A: This requirement was determined to be one, and splitting requirements would therefore not be allowed (against policy).

2. Q: On line 0002, salient characteristic 1 requires at least an 18 gallon tank. Our market research indicates the products meeting that floor, including the referenced Shovelnose unit, are foreign manufactured, while the closest domestically manufactured equivalent is a 16 gallon commercial wet/dry unit that meets every other listed characteristic including the front nozzle, drain, filtration, and UL listing. Given the Buy American certificate at

52.225-2, would the VA consider a domestic 16 gallon unit technically acceptable, or consider amending the capacity requirement? We hold strong pricing on American made equipment for both lines and want to offer it if the specification allows.

A: Our market research shows 18 gal cleaners made in the USA available on the open market. A change in specifications will not be considered at this time but may be reconsidered depending on the outcome of the solicitation.

All other terms and conditions remain in effect. END OF AMENDMENT.
