About this file
This file is the Commonwealth's Response to Vendor Written Questions for RFB 758 1900000226, issued by Kentucky WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program for electric breast pump procurement. The solicitation addresses line items for electric breast pumps and collection kits, with specifications requiring compliance with all outlined RFB requirements. The Commonwealth clarified that it will accept either single-user or multi-user pumps, provided all specifications are met. Key product requirements include electric plugs meeting UL listed or equivalent nationally recognized testing laboratory standards operating on standard household current, universally threaded 4 oz collection bottles or bottles with universally threaded adapters, a cooling bag for breast milk transport, and a soft-sided carrying case. The pump and collection kit may be shipped together in a single box with one combined price, provided this arrangement is clearly stated in the bid response. The carrying case must accommodate ease of transport, and the pump may be removable or non-removable from the case.
All supplies must be new and not reconditioned or contain used parts, with no exceptions for alternative conditions. The Commonwealth rejected the vendor request to accept reconditioned pumps with reduced warranty periods and confirmed that a cooling pack is not required as part of the cooling bag specification. Pricing should reflect the complete package including the breast pump, collection kit, cooling bag, and carrying case as a single line item when shipped together, with transparent documentation of bundled costs in the bid submission.
