HU000123Q0033 CO2 Shaker Incubator Questions and Answers
1) How many clamps and what sizes are required?
Answer: Clamps for flasks are 50ml, 125ml, 250ml, 500ml and 1 liter.
2) One of the required descriptions is UV light for inside sterilization. The combined synopsis/solicitation states failure to quote on all items will result in rejection. We do not have this option. We have UV lighting for growth of certain plant cells. Please advise if this will meet agency requirements?
Answer: The specification stated UV light as it could be used to sterilize the incubator to remove any microbial contamination (bacteria, yeast, etc.). We do not plan to grow cultures in the presence of UV lighting. The verbiage “failure to quote on all items will result in rejection” will be deleted as USUHS will consider alternate proposals and select the quote that will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.
3) Can you provide the following information: capacity required in cubic feet; temperature in range; air convection method, voltage; construction material?
Answer: We don’t want to over-specify and limit competition. Vendors should quote a CO2 shaker designed for mammalian (human) cell cultures.
Please acknowledge Amendment 1 to the solicitation in the attached documents and submit your acknowledgement with your quote.
