X X X This amendment is to answer Vendor Questions.

No other changes to RFQ.

Vendor Questions

1) We have four options—SC-122, SC-123, SC-124, and SC-125 (Attached). Could you please confirm the approximate noise level (dB) at the location so we can determine the appropriate product? NRC rating should be @ 1., location not applicable

2) Section B.4 references a Manufacturer Technical Requirements (MTR) document with key features highlighted, but it wasn't included in the copy we received. Can you provide it, or point us to where it's posted? MTR is only applicable for IDIQ, this is Open Market.

3) Section D.1 gives brand-name-or-equal specs (Snowsound Pli) for the large privacy panels and feet, for the 24x24 and 12x24 panels, we couldnt find any matching brand to the part numbers listed, nor do they seem to be Snowsound products, but they list specific color schemes, do you have a specific brand identified for These parts? Not applicable

4) The solicitation names Snowsound Pli (made by Caimi Brevetti, Italy) while also requiring a Buy American Certificate (52.225-2). How does the Buy American Act apply here — is a domestic "or equal" required, or does an exception apply to the named brand? This is a brand name or equal to requirement. We are looking for “equal to” products for Snowsound products. This includes clause 52.225-1 and provision 52.225-2. The VA will follow RFO 25.101 to evaluate any American made or foreign made products. Your quote will need to include a complete provision under 52.225-2 identifying the place of manufacture for the products submitted.

5) Since this is a total SDVOSB set-aside for supplies, does the SBA nonmanufacturer rule apply to NAICS 337214, or is a waiver in effect? What documentation under 852.219-76 will you expect at quote submission from a firm that isn't the manufacturer? Yes, the NMR applies under clause 52.219-33. Offeror should identify item manufacture and business sized in their quote.

6) CLINs 0009 through 0016 appear to repeat CLINs 0001 through 0008. Please confirm that these are additive quantities for a second facility and that the total requirement is:

* 200 oversized 47" × 63" panels Part of required CLINS, Needed

* 60 smaller 23.5" × 63" panels Part of required CLINS, Needed

* 260 stands/support assemblies Part of required CLINS, Needed

* 32 panels at 24" × 24" Ceiling Tiles not needed

* 32 panels at 12" × 24" Ceiling Tiles not needed

* 112 Z-clips or clip assemblies Ceiling Tiles not needed

7) Items 0004–0007 and 0012–0015 list "Color A" and "Color B" without naming them. Can you confirm the actual colors, or point us to that spec if it's in the MTR? Color is specified in Essential Physical Characteristics which is Heather Gray (Color A), Shale (Color B).

8) The RFQ references delivery on or before September 30, 2026, while the pricing schedule states 90 days after receipt of order. Please confirm the controlling delivery deadline. 90 days After Award.

9) Confirming this is supply and delivery only (FOB Destination to the Emerald Blue facility in Tukwila) with no installation required? Correct

10) Have any amendments been issued so far? No

11) The RFQ references technical requirements under the VHA Healthcare Furniture Multiple-Award IDIQ. Is this RFQ open to all eligible SBA-certified SDVOSBs, or is competition limited to existing holders of a particular VHA furniture IDIQ? Not Available on IDIQ

12) Set-aside status. The solicitation includes clause C.7, VAAR 852.219-73, VA Notice of Total Set-Aside for Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and clause C.8, VAAR 852.219-76, the corresponding certificate of compliance for supplies and products. However, the Original Set Aside field on the SAM.gov notice is blank, which as posted indicates full and open competition. Fill out certifications within the RFQ.

Please confirm whether this requirement is a total set-aside for certified SDVOSBs, consistent with the clauses incorporated in the solicitation, or whether it is unrestricted. If the former, we respectfully suggest the notice be corrected so that eligible firms identify the opportunity. Total Service Disabled Veteran Small Business (SDVOSB) Set-Aside.

13) Contract vehicle and eligibility. The solicitation is issued on an SF 1449 as a standalone request for quotation, but the Statement of Work and Attachment 1 use task order language throughout. Section B.4 paragraph 3.0 references a kickoff meeting within ten days of task order issuance; paragraph 6.0 states that the task order will be evaluated on the listed criteria; Attachment 1 paragraph 2.0 refers to individual orders placed against the IDIQ; and the Statement of Work states that furniture technical requirements are per the VHA Healthcare Furniture multiple award IDIQ. IDIQ is not applicable, this is OM SDVOSB set-aside.

Please confirm whether this requirement is open to any eligible firm responding to the solicitation, or whether award is restricted to holders of the VHA Healthcare Furniture multiple award IDIQ. If IDIQ participation is required, please identify the vehicle so that offerors may determine eligibility. IDIQ is not applicable, this is OM SDVOSB set-aside.

REFERENCED DOCUMENT NOT POSTED

14) MTR document and room schedule. Section B.4 paragraph 5.0 requires Volume 1 to validate technical requirements against key features highlighted in the MTR document, and paragraph 6.0 requires the Bill of Materials to be tagged per MTR code and room name. The solicitation document is the only attachment posted to the notice, and neither the MTR document nor a room schedule is included.

Please provide both, or confirm that Section D.1 constitutes the MTR in its entirety and advise how offerors are to tag the Bill of Materials by room name in the absence of a room schedule. MTR is only applicable for IDIQ, this is Open Market. This is backfile and no installation required.

15) Recyclability. Requirement 7 under Section D.1 reads 00% recyclable. We assume this is intended to read 100% recyclable and would appreciate confirmation. Yes, 100% recyclable.

16) Finally, Section B.4 paragraph 5.0 states that quotations are to be electronically sent as determined by acquisitions, and that quotes submitted by any other method will not be considered, but does not identify the address. Please confirm that quotations are to be submitted to your attention at this address. Electronic submissions are the only accepted submissions.
