Q1: Is Windows 7 still preferred or should Windows 10 now be supplied as the operating system on workstations?

A1: Please quote Windows 10 as the operating system on workstations.

Q2: Under Section C. Technical Requirements: Can the following statement be removed: “Be capable of decompiling and decrypting EndoWorks to discover the source code.”

A2: Yes, see changes below. Vendors will still need to find a way to work with the database and transfer the database of patient names and visits along with the associated image data.

Q3: Is nursing documentation in the scope of this project?

A3: No.

Changes:

1) The combined synopsis contained conflicting language on how this action will be evaluated/awarded. To clarify this, the amendment deletes the following sentence from the Combined Synopsis:

“Award will be presented to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.”

Note: Award will be made per the language listed on Page 30 of Attachment 3 Clauses and Provisions titled, “Evaluation - - Commercial Items (Oct 2014)”. The FAR clause number associated with this clause was unintentionally omitted. It is FAR 52.212-2.

2) The SOW is amended by deleting the bullet reading, ““Be capable of decompiling and decrypting EndoWorks to discover the source code.”
