Question & Answer (Q&A) For RFQ 36C25622Q0130 0003 – Sterile Processing Tech Services (MEDVAMC)

Questions Answer

Would the government please consider changing the unit to Hours in order for offerors to propose a more precise, cost effective quote?

The Government intends to use “Cases” as the unit of issue.

Payment/Invoicing will be by “Case” completed.

Can you please define the acronym/abbreviation “CS”?

“CS” equals Cost per “Case”

If this stands for “Cases”, can the government please provide an estimate for the average amount of time it would take a sterile processing technician to complete each case?

This will vary by education/training on proprietary products, types of procedures, and the amount of instrumentation required for each procedure.

If information on average estimated time per case is not available, can the government please provide additional complexity details about the average case so that contractors may be able to utilize that information for their pricing?

Complexity varies based on types of procedure and the amount of instrumentation required to complete each procedure.

This is based on standard industry practices for Orthopedic procedures.

Request the government provide the specific course name/nomenclature of the onsite “proprietary training.”

Course name/nomenclature:

Stryker Onsite Specialist Training 101. This training is conducted by Stryker Healthcare Systems.

Contractors are encouraged to contact Stryker Healthcare Systems for course details.
