The system must include at least two probe ports with curved array and linear array transducers, a trolley, carrying case, and rechargeable lithium battery.

Quotations must be submitted through the County's BuyNet website or via alternative methods if electronic access is unavailable. Offerors must submit pricing on the Payment Schedule form (excluding sales tax) and indicate quoted lead time in days; all costs must be organized in the Cost/Price exhibit. Delivery is to the County Animal Shelter at 5821 Sweetwater Road, Bonita, California 91902, with hours Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding County holidays.

Offerors must accept or reject the County's Standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions; any rejections require detailed explanations and counterproposals. Required submissions include the Offeror's Cover Page (PC600), Representations and Certifications (PC601), and Small-Local Business Self-Certification Form (PC610). Non-resident offerors may face California backup withholding under Revenue and Taxation Code Section 18662 unless applicable waivers are provided. The County reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and will not reimburse quote-preparation costs.
