Kevin H. Vo Contracting Officer

I. The purpose of this amendment is to respond to vendor questions as follows:

1. What would be required from us to change the set aside to SDVOSB for this solicitation?

Response: VAAR 819.203-70 requires the VA to provide priority acquisition methods to increase contracting opportunities for SDVOSB vendors. Our guidance is based on the market research conducted for this requirement. Therefore, as a SDVOSB, you can submit an offer for this requirement.

2. The Price/Cost Schedule lists a limited number of items to be priced. However, the SOW says the following will need to be serviced:

Rigid endoscopes, Flexible Endoscopes, GI Video Endoscopes, GI Specialty Scopes, Medical Bronchoscopes, Cytoscopes, Ultrasound Probes, Laryngoscopes, Rhino Laryngoscopes, NasoLaryngoscopes, Rhino-Laryngofiberscope, Ureterorenoscopes, Light Sources, Hand Pieces, Video Processors, Surgical Endoscopes, Surgical Bronchoscopes, Surgical Fiberscope, Surgical Laparoscopes, Surgical Specialty Scopes, Surgical Cameras, Surgical Specialty Cameras, Surgical Telescopes, Urology Fiberscope, Urology Specialty Scopes for the VALBHS, VALLHS, and VASDHS

I am not sure how the Price/Cost schedule relates to the actual scope of work.

Response: Price/ Cost Schedule is sample set of the most common repairs from the expiring contract. Since this is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, the exact amount is unknown. However, offerors will need to perform all the repairs as required by the Statement of Work to be concerned for award.

3. An inventory by location of the devices to be serviced is not possible to obtain?

Response: Facility inventory of endoscopic equipment is large and changes constantly. However, nearly all facility equipment falls into the equipment types listed in the Statement of Work. Please find attached a partial inventory equipment for the VA San Diego Healthcare System. VA Long Beach Healthcare System and VA Loma Linda Healthcare System have a similar inventory equipment.

Note: Some of equipment on the attached are on leases with other vendors. Therefore, the leasers are responsible to be serviced their own equipment.

4. Could you please tell me if this is a new requirement, or if there is a current or previous contractor who has performed similar services? If available, can you please send along the incumbent contract or task order number?

Response: It is not a new requirement. The current contractor is Z Med Services, Inc. The task order number is 36C26219N0863.

5. The equipment explicitly listed is all Stryker, however equipment in the description and price cost schedule names other vendors and equipment. Could you please clarify whether all the equipment is Stryker, or if it includes other vendors?

Response: The equipment is not all Stryker. It is a mixed of vendor equipment.

a. For the Stryker equipment, is the list provided comprehensive, or are there other Stryker scopes, cameras, etc. included in the RFQ? Will there be a list provided?

Response: Please find the response number 3 above for a partial inventory equipment.

6. Is this an all or nothing bid? Will Stryker be allowed to respond to only Stryker equipment for service and maintenance?

Response: This is an all or nothing bid. It would be most advantages of the Government to single award this requirement.

II. All other terms and conditions remained unchanged.
