W81K02-17-T-0061 – Questions from Industry
1. Is there any reason why this transaction [requirement] could not be a small business set-aside?
A- A small business set-aside was not used to maximize competition. The MTF seeks to consider all the options that are available from all business sizes.
2. Is there a model and manufacturer around which the specifications were written?
A - No. While the MTF currently has a stainer, it is dated with limited capabilities. The MTF is looking for upgraded equipment which can meet the increased patient load and perform functions on board that are otherwise done manually.
3. Is this a solicitation for an instrument as well as reagents? or just reagents?
A- Instrument only. CLIN 0001 and subsequent option year CLINS (1001,2001,3001,4001) state that the requirement is for the lease of a specialized stainer.
4. For what discipline is the stainer utilized (HEMATOLOGY * PATHLOGY * CYTOLOGY * MICROBIOLOGY * HISTOLOGY * OTHER)?
A- Histology only-per SME
5. Could you please clarify what type of stainer you are looking for? Will this be an H & E Stainer or an IHC stainer?
A- Neither, the type of stainer is referred to “Special”. Special is the Industry Terminology to describe the type of stainer necessary. We already have contracts covering an H&E Stainer and IHC Stainer-per SME
