This Amendment makes the following changes:

1). The Due Date for all questions is now:

12:00 PM CST, Wednesday November 15, 2023.

2). The RFQ Close Date for All Offers is now:

10:00 PM CST, Monday November 20, 2023

3). The Estimated Contract Start date is now:

4). Clarifications of Mobile MRI Technical Specifications.

BACKGROUND: Questions were submitted regarding the technical specifications of the

Mobile MRI unit. The process of answering those questions caused us to discover redundancies, repetitions, incomplete descriptors… It became clear to us that instead of answering the questions one at a time, it would be better if we just cleaned up the technical specifications as a whole. Attached below are “cleaned-up” technical specifications. We believe, and we hope, this will help. We apologize for the inconvenience.

IMPORTANT: The Brand Name model remains the same. The revised specifications, we hope, are straightforward and easy to understand.

Address any questions to my email, Joseph.Bennett@va.gov, and put the RFQ number in the subject line.

Please see the Specifications attached below. Thank you.
