About this file

This is an amendment to a previous combined solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office seeking blood culture instrument systems. The solicitation replaces the training requirements for the blood culture instrument system to include three mandatory training events - an initial virtual training between award and delivery, a second in-person training on-site at each VA facility after installation and validation, and a third virtual training at a later date agreed upon by the VA and contractor to address additional questions after several months of operation. The contractor must record the live virtual training events and make them available to the VA afterwards in a timely manner, with in-person training to be provided at no additional cost if virtual training does not achieve understanding for all technical operators and staff. The response date for the solicitation is July 29, 2020 by 1:00 PM Pacific time. All other terms and conditions of the original combined solicitation remain unchanged.

The first training event shall be virtual training for the VA facilities at some point between the award of the contract and prior to arrival of the model of instrumentation being placed. The second training event shall be conducted in-person on-site at each VA facility after delivery/installation and during validation of instrumentation for VA group staff. The third training event shall be virtual training for each VA facility, occurring at a date agreed upon between the VA and contractor, to address any additional questions or procedures that the facilities may have after operating the equipment for several months. Contractor shall record the live virtual training events and make them available to the VA after completion in a timely manner. If virtual training does not achieve a sound understanding of the training requirements listed above for all VA technical operators and VA group staff, training shall revert to in-person on-site training at no additional costs to the government.”
