1. SCOPE OF WORK:

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Non-Expendable Equipment National Program has identified the Combi Oven product line as a candidate for a VA-wide (otherwise referred to as “national”) Requirements contract. Combi Ovens are thermally insulated chambers used in cooking for warming, cooking, and baking food, typically fueled by either natural gas or electricity. Food service ovens have thermostatic controls, which turn the oven on and off and select the temperature at which the oven will operate, and, usually, a timer. Food service ovens may have complex, computer-based controls allowing a wide variety of operating modes. They may be freestanding or countertop units.

The Contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements for the solicitation.

The objective is to provide Combi Oven to be used by cooks within the VA medical centers and facilities, Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The period of performance is for a base of 12-months with four 12-month option periods.

2. REQUIREMENT

This requirement will be solicited and awarded as a “Brand Name or Equal” which requires the quoter to indicate each product being offered as an “equal” product to the Rational iCombi® Pro Combi Oven. For each equal product, the offeror must include a description reflecting the salient characteristics (SC) and level of quality that will satisfy the salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics of the equal product(s) specified in the solicitation. The quoter must also clearly identify the item by brand name (if any) and make/model number. Finally, the quoter must include descriptive literature, such as illustrations, drawings, or a clear reference to previously furnished descriptive data or information available to the Contracting Officer and clearly describe any modifications it plans to make to a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements. Finally, the quoter must be authorized by the OEM to perform installation, annual service, post-warranty support, preventive maintenance services and repairs.
