About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document from the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) addressing vendor inquiries related to a Department of Veterans Affairs LED Lamps solicitation (36C26026Q0723).
The document clarifies three primary areas of concern raised by vendors. First, regarding Item 11 (Wired Dimmer Switch with Wireless Function), the COR confirmed that neutral wire connection is NOT required, contrary to initial salient characteristics language. The Lutron MRF2S-6CL-WH example product meets all listed salient characteristics with this clarification, and vendors may provide either this exact product or equivalent products meeting all stated minimum salient characteristics. Second, for Items 8, 9, and 10 (various LED components listed as "pack of ten"), the COR clarified that the quantities specified represent packs rather than individual components—specifically 25 packs of ten, 25 packs of ten, and 50 packs of ten respectively, equaling 250, 250, and 500 individual components total. Third, the COR confirmed that vendors may propose alternative manufacturer/model products that meet or exceed all stated salient characteristics, rather than being restricted to the specifically named example products listed in the solicitation. These clarifications ensure vendors can submit accurate pricing and product proposals aligned with the Government's actual requirements.

1. Item 11 – Wired Dimmer Switch with Wireless Function The solicitation identifies Lutron MRF2S-6CL-WH as the example product.
However, the salient characteristics require, among other things:
· 120–277VAC
· 15A rating
· Neutral wire connection required
· Wireless handheld remote included
· Full dimming capability for line-voltage TRIAC-dimmable LED fixtures Current manufacturer documentation for the referenced MRF2S-6CL-WH appears to indicate specifications that differ from some of these stated salient characteristics.
Please confirm whether offerors should provide the exact example product MRF2S-6CL-WH, or provide a product that meets all of the listed minimum salient characteristics.
ANSWER: This answer pertains to Item 11. Neutral wire connection is not required. With this change the example product meets the listed salient characteristics. Provide the example product or a product that meets all the listed salient characteristics.
2. Items 8, 9 and 10 – Pack Quantities The Material/Equipment List identifies:
· Item 8 – Qty 25 – RP-LBI-G1-IP-3F-DIM-10P – listed as “pack of ten”
· Item 9 – Qty 25 – RP-LBI-LC-6IN-DIM-10P – listed as “pack of ten”
· Item 10 – Qty 50 – RP-LBI-LC-12IN-DIM-10P – listed as “pack of ten” Please confirm whether the required quantities represent:
A) 25, 25 and 50 packs of ten, respectively, resulting in 250, 250 and 500 individual components;
or B) 25, 25 and 50 individual components, with the referenced manufacturer products simply being sold in packs of ten.
This clarification will ensure that our pricing accurately reflects the Government's required quantities.
ANSWER: Option A
3. Example Products / Equivalent Products The technical specification refers to specific manufacturer part numbers as “Example Products” and separately provides minimum/salient characteristics.
Please confirm whether offerors may propose other manufacturer/model products that meet or exceed all stated salient characteristics, or whether the Government expects the specific example manufacturer/model numbers listed in the solicitation.
CLIN 0011: MRF2S-6CL-WH.
The specified example product MRF2S-6CL-WH has been confirmed by the manufacturer as 120V/150W and non-neutral, whereas Item 11 requires 120–277V, 15A and neutral wiring.
Please clarify whether the Government intends offerors to provide the named example product, or whether another configuration/equivalent satisfying the stated salient characteristics is required.
We would need the following information where applicable:
| * | Required lumen output |
| * | Color temperature (e.g., 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K) |
| * | Voltage requirements |
| * | Dimming requirements and compatibility |
| * | Fixture dimensions |
| * | Mounting requirements |
| * | Any preferred manufacturers |
| * | Confirmation of Buy American Act (BAA) compliance requirements |
| * | Product specification sheets or basis-of-design information, if available |
ANSWER: This answer pertains to Item 11. Neutral wire connection is not required. With this change the example product meets the listed salient characteristics. Provide the example product or a product that meets all the listed salient characteristics.
