* = Required Field FedBizOpps Amendment to a Previous Combined Solicitation Rev. March 2010 Amendment to RFQ # 36C26219Q0448 to answer questions by interested parties.

90815 36C26219Q0448 03-15-2019 N 325120 Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 22 4811 Airport Plaza Drive Suite 600 Long Beach CA 90815 Bryan Boggs bryan.boggs2@va.gov VA Loma Linda Healthcare System 11201 Benton Street Loma Linda, CA 92357

USA

This amendment to solicitation # 36C26219Q0448 is to answer question/s received from interested parties during the question period.

1) Could you please provide the GOV’s rationale why Nitrous Oxide is being solicited for 36C26219Q0448, as a separate contract “stand alone MED GAS” for the VAMC Loma Linda, CA on a Five year contract – when it is inclusive (20 lbs. Nitrous Oxide) on the one year VAMC Loma Linda (the entire VAMC) that is only on a one year award that bid very recently?

a. Solicitation # 36C26219Q0448 is to provide cylinders of Nitrous Oxide to the Facilities Management Services Department. The previous solicitation for medical cylinders was for a different program office within the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. Each program office has their own budget department, so it is necessary to establish separate contracts.

That was the only question received prior to 1200 noon PST on 3/11/2019.
