a. The purpose of this amendment is to update information on the solicitation and provide a response to the questions received.

b. The questions and answers are posted as follows:

1.) “While reviewing the solicitation documents, we encountered an issue that affects our ability to provide accurate pricing. Specifically, Item 0001 and subsequent option years include a line item for ‘Culture Environmental Organism ID (20)’. However, the solicitation and Statement of Work do not provide sufficient technical parameters or testing specifications (e.g., method requirements, targeted organisms, or compliance thresholds) for this item. Without this information, we cannot reasonably or accurately determine the cost of this service.”

Response: Every month we are required to run the following tests on approximately four machines in service:

· Endotoxin, Water

· Colony Count for Water If the Colony count is positive, then we need to run the following test:

· Culture, Environmental Organism ID If the endotoxin test comes back high, then we treat the machines and send another endotoxin. Once per year, we must run the following test for each machine:

· Water Analysis Panel to AAMI standards

c. The deadline for email questions is 07/03/2025, Thursday @ 4:00 PM PDT. No telephone calls will be entertained. No exceptions.

d. The RFQ close date (quote due date) is extended to 07/08/2025, Tuesday @ 4:00 PM PDT.
