Section

Paragraph No.

Page No.(s) Quoters’ Questions Government’s Response

1 C C.1 6 Does the lab intend to perform general chemistry/non-toxicology testing on its analyzers? If yes, what percentage of testing is non-toxicology?

No, the Government does not intend to perform general chemistry/non-toxicology testing on its analyzers.

2 C C.1 6, 7 We offer all drugs of abuse assays in the upcoming bid. Are there any intentions to add additional tests in the future, such as oral fluid sample testing, urine hydrocodone or urine kratom?

The Government will have a new solicitation for oral fluid testing. The Government does not intend to add urine hydrocodone or urine kratom testing.

3 C C.2 7 A refurbished instrument could meet the laboratory’s needs if it performed as a new analyzer and could be maintained at the same level of service. The understanding is that refurbished instruments could offer the best value for taxpayer dollars while maintaining the highest level of quality and service. Many federal and state Government customers use refurbished analyzers from us and enjoy 24/7 tech support and response. In past Government bids we offered refurbished instrumentation with service guarantees associated with it and were awarded the business.

We’ve been awarded multiple Government contracts with refurbished analyzer offerings, we have won several back to back bids based on our quality assays, service, & refurbished analyzers.

Can the RFQ be modified to allow vendors who can only offer refurbished instruments to participate?

Refurbished instruments are not allowed. No, the Government will not modify the RFQ to allow refurbished instruments.

As the current and incumbent vendor/s, we replaced the water system at the 90 K street locatiocn with a new system. Given the system is only 60 days in operation, would procurement consider this system as new and remain onsite if we were awarded the Contract, or does it need to be replaced with a new system?
