The purpose of this amendment is to respond to vendor questions.

Vendor Questions in bold/VHA Responses in red

1. The description states that the middle drawers and bottom drawer will utilize a breakaway lock. Could you please clarify whether this refers to a separate breakaway lock for each individual drawer, or one breakaway lock that secures all 8 drawers?

Each drawer needs a separate breakaway lock. Except for the top drawer that drawer needs to be a latch type lock so when the cart is pushed around the drawer does not slide open.

2. Is trash removal to be included in the work?

No, trash removal is not to be included in the work.

3. Please advise if we should we put trays and dividers on a line item for each drawer?

No, the Black Hills clinic is planning on reusing their current trays and dividers.

4. Since we are procuring our product directly from the manufacturer, Harlow Company, would it still be necessary to provide an authorized dealer letter? We can provide contact details for our representative at Harlow Company if needed.

Yes, per VAAR clause 852.212-71 Gray Market and Counterfeit Items in the solicitation under 52.252-2 Clauses Incorporated by Reference.

5. Is there a particular brand or manufacturer that the VA prefers or uses as a model?

No.
