See below list of Vendor’s questions with VA’s responses in Red.

I’m asking if your current contract is direct with Dish Network. Our current contract is with another company that is using Dish Network to provide TV Services. To add to that, the OKC VA owns the “Headend” equipment, that will stay with the facility. It is important to note that this equipment is only compatible with DISH services.

If the Government prefers to install the Comm3000 distribution, all TV's will require ProIdiom capability. Please list manufacturers of existing TV's to receive the DTV service, and their ProIdiom capability. This solicitation is just requesting a company to provide TV Service, at this time we have no preference as to “Comm3000” or not.

Please advise the anticipated disposition of current equipment and TV architecture. Specifically, will all incumbent equipment excluding cabling and televisions be removed? All TVs belong to the VA. All Cabling will remain with the VA. The VA owns the “Headend” equipment, the “Smartbox”, and “antennas”. All other equipment (dishes, mounts, amps, and any other equipment not mentioned) belongs to the current vendor and will be at their choice what to do with it.

Will all antennas be removed? The VA owns the Antennas and will remain with the VA.

Is it probable that all equipment MINUS the cabling and TV's is leased equipment. See above listing of VA owned equipment and contractor owned equipment.

Is there a list of make/model for existing TV's, specifically in the VAMC OKC? No current listing of exact Make and Model number at this time, but all TV’s are of flat screen type (no CRT’s) and have been purchased within the last 3 years.

Are the existing TV's healthcare grade? As far as “Healthcare” grade we are not sure.

The Solicitation request a 1-800 toll free phone number, is “Toll Free” necessary as long as we have a 24-hour access phone number? NO, a “Toll Free” number is not necessary as long as the company has a 24-hour access phone number (someone we can contact if problems arise).
