Questions Received — Submission 1

The solicitation requires the biosafety cabinets to meet NSF/ANSI 49 requirements and includes delivery, installation, and NSF/ANSI certification. Could you please clarify whether the proposed biosafety cabinets are required to be manufacturer-certified to NSF/ANSI 49 at the time of delivery, or whether field certification following installation is sufficient to meet this requirement?

We only require delivery of the biosafety cabinets,no installation.

The requirement is for the biosafety cabinets to be manufacture-certified at the time of delivery. All cabinets will be tested by the program office on arrival

If a proposed biosafety cabinet has a Type 316 stainless steel work surface, while the remainder of the cabinet is constructed from Type 304 stainless steel, would this configuration be considered acceptable, or is Type 304 stainless steel required for all stainless steel components?

Decommissioning and Removal: Is the Contractor responsible for the decommissioning, uninstallation, or physical removal of the legacy biosafety cabinets from the laboratory space?

We do not require the vendor to provide any of those services. The old equipment will be taken care of separately by the program office.

Decontamination: If removal or handling of the legacy cabinets is required by the Contractor, will the Government perform and certify the necessary gaseous decontamination (e.g., hydrogen peroxide vapor) prior to Contractor handling, or is the Contractor expected to include decontamination services within their quote?
