RFQ 36C25723Q0735 – Xenex Disinfection Systems (Brand Name or Equal) Amendment #1 Questions and Answers

Q1: Where will these be staged; will they be all over the hospital or will they be OR based/Pre-op/Post-op?

A1: They will be all over the hospital.

Q2: My understanding is that the trade-in credit towards the GSA price will be considered even though it isn’t mentioned in the RFP. Do I have that correct?

A2: For clarification purposes, this is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) under FAR 15, this is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) under FAR 13. Pricing is always a factor and any discounts or credits extended to the Government will be considered during the evaluation phase. Please see E.6 Basis for Award beginning on page 33 of attachment S02 36C25723Q0735.

Q3: Does the Offeror have to have a unique entity identifier to submit a bid?

A3: For clarification purposes, this is a RFQ in which we are seeking quotes, not bids. Yes, per E.4, 52.212-1(j) Instructions to Offerors, Unique entity identifier is required.

Q4: Do contractors and offerors have to be registered with SAM to submit a bid?

A4: For clarification purposes, this is a RFQ in which we are seeking quotes, not bids. Yes, see response for A3 above.

Q5: Is there a SF 1449 Form linked specific to this RFQ for offerors to complete?
