Amendment 2 – Questions and Responses
1. Is it possible to extend the due date of this solicitation by 3 weeks in order for us to pull the images required?, We have extended Due Date to August 8, 2023 at 4:00 PM MST (AZ Time), see Attachment 2 Questions – Responses and RFQ-23-PHX-29-PIMC Ultrasound Amend-2.
2. Where should the CD of the images be sent? Location, Address, Room#, Name of Individual To Receive CD. Indian Health Service, 40 North Central Avenue, Ste-507, Phoenix, AZ 85004, Attention: Donovan Conley, 602-364-5174, Donovan.Conley@ihs.gov
3. Can you confirm that both a UPS and surge protector are required for the Ultrasound solicitation? Yes, both are required to protect the units.
4. As a follow up to question 3, surge protectors are typically permanently installed in procedure rooms and are not mobile. How many rooms require surge protection/UPS’s, and what are those room numbers? Radiology Dept - There are two rooms on the 3rd floor used for ultrasound. 1 room will hold one unit and the 2nd room is larger to hold 2 units on opposite ends. These three units stay in the room and will only be moved in emergency ED cases (rare events). The other two units will not need UPS or surge protector. These two units can have their UPS and surge protector removed from the solicitation. (Medical Surgical and Women’s Clinic)
5. Do you have any Trade-in systems and if you have Trade-ins, please provide the Serial Number and List of Transducers. No trade ins.
6. Under C. Image Quality. The List of Images is very specific. Due to patient confidentiality much of this information can not be provided with the images or as part of a response to your solicitation. We are recommending that instead of the Image Requirement, Vendors have the opportunity to have a Side-By-Side Demonstration at the facility for over-scanning patients or scanning models in order for PAIHS to get the best understanding of image quality for your patient population. We are not allowing Side by Side Demonstration for this solicitation. PIMC will require the images on a CD in DICOM format for viewing on a BARCO screen. Due to the population size of PIMC patients, the product submitted must demonstrate its ability to see anatomy in patients ranging from 300 lbs to 400 lbs.
7. Request a 3 week extension. We have extended Due Date to August 8, 2023 at 4:00 PM MST (AZ Time).
8. Change quantity from 3-Each to 5-Each, see Attachment A -Scope of Work Ultrasound Amend-2.
