AMENDMENT 0002 (A2):

The purpose of the amendment 0002 (A2) is to provide all potential vendors with questions and answers.

1. Question: Would invoices need to be sent monthly or yearly?

Answer: Monthly.

2. Question: If yearly, would it be at the beginning of contract year or at the end of contract year?

Answer: Refer to answer for #1.

3. Question: Once equipment is brought into facility, would our CSR need to move delivery truck prior to taking equipment to proper location within hospital?

Answer: No, not as long as it doesn't impede traffic and the vehicle doesn't stay there for an excessively long period of time.

4. Question: What type of nurse call connection is needed for bed?

Answer: None; nurse call is plugged straight to the wall and not the bed.

5. Question: What are the requirements from the VA regarding Electronic Medical Record (EMR) ordering of equipment?

Answer: VA EMR is VA internal use only. VA Staff call into the vendors customer service office or preferred method for a bed order or repair.

6. Question: Is there an option to provide our GoUSME Connect EMR ordering?

Answer: Yes, vendor can use their own EMR and does NOT interface with VA EMR due to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

7. Question: Can you confirm the correct NAICS codes is being used? 532283 is for rental equipment for home use. Will the equipment be used in the home?

Answer: The beds will not be utilized in the home; instead, they are associated to specific in-house patients. NAICS 532283 has been historical used from a Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) search for Bed and Mattress Rentals.

8. Question: Can you clarify the delivery timeframe? Under g) delivery schedule bullet #3, it states that “Routine delivery time shall not exceed 4 hours after receipt of order to a designated hospital room.”, but later in the same paragraph it states that “Rental equipment should arrive within the same day of notification (preferably two hours) unless otherwise specified.” Is the delivery timeframe 2 or 4 hours?

Answer: 4 hours.
