Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the end product.\n\nCritical component means a component that is mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States and deemed critical to the U.S. supply chain. The list of critical components is at FAR 25.105.\nDomestic end product means\nFor an end product that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both\n\nAn unmanufactured end product mined or produced in the United States;\n\nAn end product manufactured in the United States, if\n\nThe cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be 65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind as those that the agency determines are not mined, produced, or manufactured in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. Scrap generated, collected, and prepared for processing in the United States is considered domestic; or\n\nThe end product is a COTS item; or\n\n(2) For an end product that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, an end product manufactured in the United States, if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all the components used in the end product.

Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.\nForeign end product means an end product other than a domestic end product.\nForeign iron and steel means iron or steel products not produced in the United States. Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.\nPredominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.\nSteel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.\nUnited States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.\n(b) 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, provides a preference for domestic end products for supplies acquired for use in the United States.

As used in this clause\n\nVA Information system is the same as information system and means, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5727, a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information whether automated or manual.\n\nVA sensitive information means all VA data, on any storage media or in any form or format, which requires protection due to the risk of harm that could result from inadvertent or deliberate disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information and includes sensitive personal information. The term includes information where improper use or disclosure could adversely affect the ability of VA to accomplish its mission, proprietary information, records about individuals requiring protection under various confidentiality provisions such as the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and information that can be withheld under the Freedom of Information Act. Examples of VA sensitive information include the following: individually-identifiable medical, benefits, and personnel information; financial, budgetary, research, quality assurance, confidential commercial, critical infrastructure, investigatory, and law enforcement information; information that is confidential and privileged in litigation such as information protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney work-product privilege, and the attorney client privilege; and other information which, if released, could result in violation of law or harm or unfairness to any individual or group, or could adversely affect the national interest or the conduct of Federal programs.\n\nGeneral. Contractor personnel assigned to work for or on behalf of VA must undergo a background investigation commensurate with the risk and sensitivity level designation associated with the work to be performed at the level indicated in the contract. The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with VA Directive/Handbook 0710, Personnel Security and Suitability Program, which can be accessed at: https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm\n\nRisk and Sensitivity Levels. The following table identifies the risk and sensitivity levels that apply to any personnel providing services under this contract.\n\n*VA Administrations, organizations and staff offices will use the OPM Position Designation Tool.\n\nPositions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions - Tier 1/Low Risk\nN/a\nPositions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions- Tier 2/Mod Risk\nN/a\nPositions/Tasks Designated as Non-Sensitive Positions - Tier 4/High Risk\nN/a\n\nSecurity clearances are granted to individuals with a specific requirement for access to classified material (for example, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret). Contractor personnel that are required to obtain a security clearance will be subject to a Tier 3 or Tier 5 investigation. The following sensitivity designations have been assigned for the identified Tier 3 and Tier 5 required by this contract:\n\nTier 3: Not Applicable\n\nTier 5: Not Applicable\n\nFitness. The results from a background investigation are used to determine if an individual s fitness is sufficient for that individual to perform work for or on behalf of VA in the position identified in this contract. Contractor fitness determinations are made in accordance with 5 CFR Part 731.202.\n\nFitness requirements for employment are separate and distinct from job qualifications. If a Contractor or subcontractor employee is found to be unsuitable or unfit to provide services under this contract, the Contractor shall immediately remove the employee from working on this contract and take those necessary steps that restrict the employee s logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information.\n\nThe Contractor shall advise the employee that they are not permitted to access any VA controlled building or real property in relation to this contract.\n\nThe removal of an unfit Contractor or subcontractor employee does not alleviate the Contractor from satisfying the requirements of this contract. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs associated with the recruitment/replacement of an employee or subcontractor employee who is found to be unfit.\n\nIdentification Cards. The Government will provide a Personal Identification Verification (PIV) card or other identification card, as necessary, to fit Contractor personnel who require physical access to VA facilities and/or logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information systems containing such data or information. Contractor and subcontractor personnel shall prominently display their PIV/identification card on their persons while working at a VA facility and shall present their PIV/identification card for inspection upon request by a VA official. The Contractor must surrender the employee or subcontractor employee s PIV/identification card in accordance with the requirements set forth in Directive/Handbook 0735 when any of the following events occur:\n\nWhen no longer needed for contract performance.\nUpon completion of the Contractor/subcontractor employee s employment.\nUpon contract completion or termination.\n\nLost/stolen. Immediately upon detection, the Contractor shall report a lost or stolen PIV/identification card to the Government authorities as identified in Directive/Handbook 0735. Within 48 hours of reporting the lost/stolen PIV/identification card, the Contractor shall submit to the Program Manager an incident report that describes the relevant facts and circumstances regarding the loss/theft. If the loss/theft was reported by the Contractor to the local police, the Contractor shall further submit a copy of the final police report to the Program Manager within 48 hours of the report being made available by the local police department. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor for any costs that result from lost/stolen PIV/identification card(s).\n\nRegular Reporting. The Contractor shall submit a status report to PIV Sponsor within 5 working days after the end of each calendar quarter and as requested by the Government in order to initiate contract closeout procedures. The report must provide the status of each contractor/subcontractor employee who is required to have a PIV/identification card during the performance of the contract. The report shall identify the Contractor and the contract number, and list the following status for each contractor/subcontractor employee who holds a PIV/identification card under this contract:\n\nContractor/subcontractor employee name.\nName of VA facility where Contractor/subcontractor employee works, if applicable.\nDate background check submitted for Contractor/subcontractor employee.\nDate PIV/identification card issued to Contractor/subcontractor employee.\nContractor/subcontractor employee s PIV/identification card number, as applicable.\nDate Contractor/subcontractor employee no longer has need for PIV/identification card.\nDate Contractor notified VA that PIV/identification card is no longer required.\nDate Contractor returned PIV/identification card was returned to VA.\n\nFlow down of clause. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in subcontracts, third-party agreements, and BAA s, in which subcontractors, third-party servicers/employees, and business associates will perform functions where they will have physical access to a VA facility or logical access to VA data, information, VA sensitive information, or information technology or VA information system containing such data or information.\n\n(End of clause)\n\n852.252-70, Provisions and Clauses Applicable to VA Acquisition of Commercial Items:\nVAAR Clauses are incorporated by reference as follows:\nVAAR 852.203-70\nCommercial Advertising (MAY 2018)\nVAAR 852.232-72\nElectronic Submission of Payment Requests (NOV 2018)\nVAAR 852.246-71\nRejected Goods (OCT 2018)\nVAAR 852.222-71\nCompliance with Executive Order 13899.

How should offerors handle delivery/freight pricing?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate.\n\n\nIs any on-site installation or assembly required at the SLC or Ogden facilities, or is this delivery of the equipment only?\n\nThe expectation is that the tables are pre-assembled and will be easy to place in the clinics. However, if the tables are NOT pre-assembled, the offeror should include installation/assembly fees into the delivery line item and ensure it is noted.\n\n\nFor an \"or equal\" product, will an Authorized Distributor Letter from the manufacturer of the equal product we quote satisfy VAAR 852.212-71(c), or must the letter be from Hill Laboratories specifically?\n\nThe Authorized Distributor Letter must be from the manufacturer of the brand the offeror is proposing. Offerors would only need to provide a letter from Hill Laboratories IF they are offering the Government the Hill Laboratories product.\n\n\nInstallation scope: The section is titled \"Delivery and Installation,\" but no installation tasks are listed. Should the price include inside delivery to the treatment room, uncrating, assembly, set-up/leveling, functional testing, packaging and debris removal, and staff in-service training? If so, please name the rooms and floors at each site.\n\nThe expectation is for the tables to be delivered pre-assembled to the facility. The VA staff would then take possession of the items and move them to the clinic space. The Offeror should include installation/assembly costs IF the tables are not delivered pre-assembled.\n\nDelivery windows and access: Please give the allowed delivery days and hours, receiving dock or entrance, elevator access, any check-in or escort steps, and a point of contact at each site (George E. Wahlen VAMC, 500 Foothill Dr., Salt Lake City; Ogden CBOC, 2945 South Washington Blvd., Suite 1, South Ogden). Are deliveries to the 2 sites allowed on different dates?\n\nDeliveries may occur on different dates if needed.\nDeliveries shall be made between 0700 and 1700 Mondays through Fridays (except on Federal holidays).\n\n\nRequired delivery date: Is there a required or target delivery date, or a maximum lead time in calendar days after award?\n\nA target delivery date is not available. Offerors are encouraged to provide the most accurate delivery lead time possible based on information currently available from the manufacturer. This is an evaluation factor so Offeror s information will be compared.\n\n\nFreight vs. line 0018: The RFQ says freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, but line 0018 is \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/installation be priced on line 0018, or included in line 0001 with 0018 shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nRemoval of existing tables: Is the contractor expected to remove and dispose of any existing tables at either site? If yes, how many, which models, and is there a VA disposal process?\n\nNo removal or disposal services are required for this requirement.\n\n\n\"Or equal\" salient characteristics: The RFQ says \"air powered - NOT pneumatic or hydraulic.\" Air-powered systems run on compressed air, which is usually described as pneumatic. Please clarify what this requirement excludes so that \"equal\" products can be judged fairly.\n\nSalient characteristics updated to:  Must be air powered/pneumatic   NOT hydraulic \n\n\nOption lines: For an \"equal\" product, may an option that is standard on that product be shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"? Must each brand-name part number (for example, AF-F15, 92CS, 97) be matched one for one?\n\nEach line item does not need to be matched one for one. However, the Offeror should ensure the components listed in the line items are included in the table. Please ensure a note is provided if the brochures/specification documents do not clearly show those items are included with the table.\n\n\nHeight and width: Does a maximum height of exactly 29\" meet the requirement, and is the 27\" width (line 0017) the required width?\n\nThe tables must be able to reach at least 29  but if the table is able to exceed this height (up to ~ 32 ) that would be preferred.\n\nThe width dimension of the table must be between 27  and 33 \n\n\nAuthorized distributor letter: Is the OEM letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)) required for all offerors who are not the OEM, including authorized dealers? Must it name this solicitation, or is a general authorization letter on OEM letterhead acceptable?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\n\nContractor access/PIV: Clauses 852.204-70/72 are included, but all risk levels are marked N/a. Please confirm that delivery and installation staff will not need a background check or PIV card, and that a visitor badge and escort is enough?\n\nThe expectation is for the tables to be pre-assembled and the Offeror would only need to deliver the item to the warehouse dock/facility. No access to the facility is anticipated although the VA staff may accompany the Offeror if delivery/installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nWarranty/service: Should on-site labor warranty or service be included, or only the minimum 1 year parts warranty?\n\nMinimum 1-year parts warranty; additional on-site and/or service warranty appreciated but not mandatory\n\n\nPage limits: The RFQ mentions page limitations but does not state any. Is there a page limit for any volume?\n\nNo page limits are present for this solicitation. However, Offerors should be mindful of potential email size limitations.\n\n\nOption to Extend Services (52.217-8) and Service Contract Labor Standards (52.222-41/43) are included. Please confirm whether they apply to this one-time supply purchase with installation.\n\nFAR 52.217-8 was included in case an extension to the period of performance is needed. \n\nSCLS does not apply to this requirement.\n\n\nDeadline time zone. The RFQ states quotes are due 12:00 PM MST on 30 October 2026, while SAM.gov lists the response deadline at UTC-06:00 (MDT). Please confirm the controlling local time for submission.\n\nThe deadline is 12pm MT on 10/30/2026.\n\n\nDelivery pricing. The instructions state freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, yet the schedule includes line item 0018 \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/freight be priced in line item 0018, or folded into line item 0001 with 0018 marked accordingly?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nInstallation. Is installation/set-up of the tables required at either delivery location (Salt Lake City and Ogden), or is delivery only required? If set-up is required, will VA personnel escort access be arranged through the receiving facility?\n\nIf the tables are pre-assembled, installation shall not be required. However, if assembly of the table is required, the Offeror should include those costs in their quote and should plan to be onsite to install/assemble each table. VA staff may escort visitors IF installation/assembly of the product is needed. This may be discussed during the post-award meeting.\n\n\nAuthorized distributor letter. Must the VAAR 852.212-71(c) letter from the OEM name the offeror specifically, or is a general letter of authorization from the manufacturer sufficient?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\n\nLine item 0013 option code. Line item 0013 references option \"92CSAF\" (rocker foot pedal substitute for air at foot end). Please confirm this is the correct Hill Laboratories option code for the requested item.\n\nYes, this is the correct code\n\n\nInstallation: the delivery section is titled \"Delivery and Installation\" and asks for lead time \"including installation, if applicable.\" Is any installation, assembly or setup required, or is delivery to the receiving area at each site sufficient?\n\nThe station team will either expect the table to come pre-assembled OR the Offeror will need to plan to assemble the tables onsite. Any fees associated with installation/assembly should be included in the delivery line item. If the tables are already pre-assembled, then the VA staff will be able to take possession of the item upon delivery and then they will move the table to the clinic location.\n\n\nAuthorized distributor letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)): if the offeror is not the manufacturer, will a letter from the manufacturer authorizing the offeror to supply this specific order satisfy the requirement?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\n\nRequired delivery date: is there a required delivery date or a maximum acceptable lead time after award?\n\nA target delivery date is not available. Offerors are encouraged to provide the most accurate delivery lead time possible based on information currently available from the manufacturer. This is an evaluation factor so Offeror s information will be compared.\n\n\nMay a small-business equipment distributor registered under NAICS 423450 submit a quotation for this solicitation, which is assigned NAICS 339113?\n\nNAICS 423450 shows a size standard of 200 employees while the NAICS for this requirement, 339113, is 800 employees. Therefore, as long as the Government is able to verify the Offeror has a NAICS in which it confirms their company size is below 800 employees, the Offeror should not be considered ineligible\n\n\nDoes the SBA nonmanufacturer rule apply to this procurement, and if so, is a waiver available?\n\nSince this requirement is set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the limitations associated with the nonmanufacturer rule shall not apply. Offerors may provide products manufactured by both small and large businesses.\n\n\nWould an authorized reseller offering the specified Hill Laboratories equipment qualify, provided all technical specifications and manufacturer authorization requirements are satisfied?\n\nYes. Offerors who obtain an authorized distributor letter from Hill Laboratories may submit a quote package to include the Hill Laboratories products.\n\n\nAir system: The specifications require air power but exclude pneumatic systems. Is the Hill Air Flex II s compressed-air system acceptable?\n\nThe previous specification had a typo   the system should be air-powered/pneumatic system.\n\nHeadpiece: CLIN 0004 specifies an air-activated forward/straight drop, while the salient characteristics require a manual drop. Which is required? Please also confirm the intended configuration for AF-F22 headpiece motion with AF-F27 automatic distraction.\n\nAir powered drop is required. The distraction motion required is intended to stretch the neck  in a superior motion like a decompression table would do and requires a headpiece to attach to the table so this distraction therapy can be done. \n\nSee example video of how this feature should operate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEYLT0R_meA\n\n\nWeight: Does the 300 lbs. maximum include all installed accessories? Is there an allowable tolerance for the fully configured brand-name table?\n\nThe weight of the table can exceed 300lbs if needed because of other accessories. The table itself should not exceed 300 lbs.\n\n\nDelivery: Please confirm the required delivery timeframe and whether room placement, setup, functional testing, demonstration, and packaging removal are required at both locations.\n\nThe delivery timeline will be discussed with the awarded vendor after award of contract. Offerors shall provide their best estimate of the delivery/lead time for the items within their quote package as this will be compared to other quotes. It is common for the tables to be pre-assembled so only delivery to the facility would be expected unless assembly is needed for a brand of table. Offerors should factor in the installation/assembly time and costs IF there are any.\n\nFreight pricing: Should delivery be priced under CLIN 0018 or incorporated into the equipment lines, given the instruction against a separate freight line?\nOfferors shall use their best judgement. It may be easiest to just include any delivery and installation/assembly costs under line item 0018 but that is not mandatory.\n\n\nReseller authorization: Will an OEM letter authorizing __ to supply the specified equipment for this solicitation satisfy the authorization requirement?\n\nYes. A letter or email from the OEM stating the offeror is authorized to provide their product to the Government is sufficient.\n\n\nDeadline time zone: Please confirm whether the October 23 question deadline and October 30 quote deadline are noon Denver local time (MDT) or noon MST.\n\nThe deadlines are Mountain Time. We are currently in MDT but this shall change to MST on 11/1/2026.\n\n\nThis acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 339113. The referenced brand, Hill Laboratories, appears to be other than small. FAR 52.219-33 (Nonmanufacturer Rule) is listed in the clause matrix but is not marked applicable. Please confirm whether the Nonmanufacturer Rule applies, and if so, whether an SBA class waiver is in place that would permit a small business offeror to supply the Air Flex II or an equal product from a large manufacturer.\n\nSince this requirement is set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the limitations associated with the nonmanufacturer rule shall not apply. Offerors may provide products manufactured by both small and large businesses.\n\n**The manufacturer for the Air Flex II, Hill Laboratories, has been confirmed to be a small business per SAM.gov Reps and Certs.\n\nThe Description states \"Freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item,\" but Line Item 0018 is titled \"Delivery\" with a quantity of 2 EA. Please clarify where freight should be priced.\n\nThe Offeror may add the cost of freight to the delivery line item (#0018) or to the first line item if appropriate.\n\n\nThe salient characteristics cap the weight of the table and equipment at 300 lbs. Please confirm whether this applies to the base table only or to the fully configured table with all listed options.\n\nThis applies to base table only. \n\n\nPlease confirm that Line Item 0018, quantity 2 EA, represents one delivery to each of the two locations.\n\nCorrect, the quantity of  2  is due to one table EACH needing to be delivered to two separate locations. Therefore, delivery would be completed as two jobs.\n\n \nFor the VAAR 852.212-71(c) manufacturer authorization, is a signed letter from the OEM on its letterhead (naming __ as an authorized distributor for this solicitation) sufficient, or is a specific format required?\n\nNo specific format. Just some letter/email from the OEM stating the Offeror is authorized to sell their product to the Government.\n\n\nIf an \"equal\" product is offered, should the authorization letter come from that product's manufacturer?\n\nYes. An authorization letter is only needed from the OEM of the brand product the Offeror is offering.\n\n\nIs a delivery lead time after award stated in days (e.g., ARO) acceptable for Volume III, or is there a required delivery date?\n\nYes. Offerors shall indicate the estimated number of days After Receipt of Order (ARO) of the contract in which the Offeror would be able to deliver the product to the locations once they receive the awarded contract. A specific date is not needed as the Government understands that it would be difficult to calculate since we do not know the specific date in which this requirement will be awarded.","text":"Amendment 001 to Solicitation #36C25927Q0025 (Air-powered chiropractic tables)\n\nThis amendment s purpose is to list and answer the questions submitted by the questions deadline as specified in the solicitation.\n\nQuestions and Answers:\n\nCLIN 0018 is listed as \"Delivery,\" but the solicitation states freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item. How should offerors handle delivery/freight pricing?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate.\n\nIs any on-site installation or assembly required at the SLC or Ogden facilities, or is this delivery of the equipment only?\n\nThe expectation is that the tables are pre-assembled and will be easy to place in the clinics. However, if the tables are NOT pre-assembled, the offeror should include installation/assembly fees into the delivery line item and ensure it is noted.\n\nFor an \"or equal\" product, will an Authorized Distributor Letter from the manufacturer of the equal product we quote satisfy VAAR 852.212-71(c), or must the letter be from Hill Laboratories specifically?\n\nThe Authorized Distributor Letter must be from the manufacturer of the brand the offeror is proposing.

This is an evaluation factor so Offeror s information will be compared.\n\nFreight vs. line 0018: The RFQ says freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, but line 0018 is \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/installation be priced on line 0018, or included in line 0001 with 0018 shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\nRemoval of existing tables: Is the contractor expected to remove and dispose of any existing tables at either site? If yes, how many, which models, and is there a VA disposal process?\n\nNo removal or disposal services are required for this requirement.\n\n\"Or equal\" salient characteristics: The RFQ says \"air powered - NOT pneumatic or hydraulic.\" Air-powered systems run on compressed air, which is usually described as pneumatic. Please clarify what this requirement excludes so that \"equal\" products can be judged fairly.\n\nSalient characteristics updated to: Must be air powered/pneumatic NOT hydraulic\n\nOption lines: For an \"equal\" product, may an option that is standard on that product be shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"? Must each brand-name part number (for example, AF-F15, 92CS, 97) be matched one for one?\n\nEach line item does not need to be matched one for one. However, the Offeror should ensure the components listed in the line items are included in the table. Please ensure a note is provided if the brochures/specification documents do not clearly show those items are included with the table.\n\nHeight and width: Does a maximum height of exactly 29\" meet the requirement, and is the 27\" width (line 0017) the required width?\n\nThe tables must be able to reach at least 29 but if the table is able to exceed this height (up to ~ 32 ) that would be preferred.\n\nThe width dimension of the table must be between 27 and 33\n\nAuthorized distributor letter: Is the OEM letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)) required for all offerors who are not the OEM, including authorized dealers?

The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\nContractor access/PIV: Clauses 852.204-70/72 are included, but all risk levels are marked N/a. Please confirm that delivery and installation staff will not need a background check or PIV card, and that a visitor badge and escort is enough?\n\nThe expectation is for the tables to be pre-assembled and the Offeror would only need to deliver the item to the warehouse dock/facility. No access to the facility is anticipated although the VA staff may accompany the Offeror if delivery/installation/assembly is needed.\n\nWarranty/service: Should on-site labor warranty or service be included, or only the minimum 1 year parts warranty?\n\nMinimum 1-year parts warranty; additional on-site and/or service warranty appreciated but not mandatory\n\nPage limits: The RFQ mentions page limitations but does not state any.

The instructions state freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, yet the schedule includes line item 0018 \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/freight be priced in line item 0018, or folded into line item 0001 with 0018 marked accordingly?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\nInstallation. Is installation/set-up of the tables required at either delivery location (Salt Lake City and Ogden), or is delivery only required? If set-up is required, will VA personnel escort access be arranged through the receiving facility?\n\nIf the tables are pre-assembled, installation shall not be required. However, if assembly of the table is required, the Offeror should include those costs in their quote and should plan to be onsite to install/assemble each table. VA staff may escort visitors IF installation/assembly of the product is needed. This may be discussed during the post-award meeting.\n\nAuthorized distributor letter. Must the VAAR 852.212-71(c) letter from the OEM name the offeror specifically, or is a general letter of authorization from the manufacturer sufficient?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer.

Please confirm this is the correct Hill Laboratories option code for the requested item.\n\nYes, this is the correct code\n\nInstallation: the delivery section is titled \"Delivery and Installation\" and asks for lead time \"including installation, if applicable.\" Is any installation, assembly or setup required, or is delivery to the receiving area at each site sufficient?\n\nThe station team will either expect the table to come pre-assembled OR the Offeror will need to plan to assemble the tables onsite. Any fees associated with installation/assembly should be included in the delivery line item. If the tables are already pre-assembled, then the VA staff will be able to take possession of the item upon delivery and then they will move the table to the clinic location.\n\nAuthorized distributor letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)): if the offeror is not the manufacturer, will a letter from the manufacturer authorizing the offeror to supply this specific order satisfy the requirement?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer.

Therefore, as long as the Government is able to verify the Offeror has a NAICS in which it confirms their company size is below 800 employees, the Offeror should not be considered ineligible\n\nDoes the SBA nonmanufacturer rule apply to this procurement, and if so, is a waiver available?\n\nSince this requirement is set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the limitations associated with the nonmanufacturer rule shall not apply.

Offerors who obtain an authorized distributor letter from Hill Laboratories may submit a quote package to include the Hill Laboratories products.\n\nAir system: The specifications require air power but exclude pneumatic systems.

If the tables are already pre-assembled, then the VA staff will be able to take possession of the item upon delivery and then they will move the table to the clinic location.\n\nAuthorized distributor letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)): if the offeror is not the manufacturer, will a letter from the manufacturer authorizing the offeror to supply this specific order satisfy the requirement?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\nRequired delivery date: is there a required delivery date or a maximum acceptable lead time after award?\n\nA target delivery date is not available. Offerors are encouraged to provide the most accurate delivery lead time possible based on information currently available from the manufacturer. This is an evaluation factor so Offeror s information will be compared.\n\nMay a small-business equipment distributor registered under NAICS 423450 submit a quotation for this solicitation, which is assigned NAICS 339113?\n\nNAICS 423450 shows a size standard of 200 employees while the NAICS for this requirement, 339113, is 800 employees. Therefore, as long as the Government is able to verify the Offeror has a NAICS in which it confirms their company size is below 800 employees, the Offeror should not be considered ineligible\n\nDoes the SBA nonmanufacturer rule apply to this procurement, and if so, is a waiver available?\n\nSince this requirement is set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the limitations associated with the nonmanufacturer rule shall not apply. Offerors may provide products manufactured by both small and large businesses.\n\nWould an authorized reseller offering the specified Hill Laboratories equipment qualify, provided all technical specifications and manufacturer authorization requirements are satisfied?\n\nYes. Offerors who obtain an authorized distributor letter from Hill Laboratories may submit a quote package to include the Hill Laboratories products.\n\nAir system: The specifications require air power but exclude pneumatic systems. Is the Hill Air Flex II s compressed-air system acceptable?\n\nThe previous specification had a typo the system should be air-powered/pneumatic system.\n\nHeadpiece: CLIN 0004 specifies an air-activated forward/straight drop, while the salient characteristics require a manual drop. Which is required? Please also confirm the intended configuration for AF-F22 headpiece motion with AF-F27 automatic distraction.\n\nAir powered drop is required. The distraction motion required is intended to stretch the neck in a superior motion like a decompression table would do and requires a headpiece to attach to the table so this distraction therapy can be done.\n\nSee example video of how this feature should operate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEYLT0R_meA\n\nWeight: Does the 300 lbs. maximum include all installed accessories? Is there an allowable tolerance for the fully configured brand-name table?\n\nThe weight of the table can exceed 300lbs if needed because of other accessories. The table itself should not exceed 300 lbs.\n\nDelivery: Please confirm the required delivery timeframe and whether room placement, setup, functional testing, demonstration, and packaging removal are required at both locations.\n\nThe delivery timeline will be discussed with the awarded vendor after award of contract. Offerors shall provide their best estimate of the delivery/lead time for the items within their quote package as this will be compared to other quotes. It is common for the tables to be pre-assembled so only delivery to the facility would be expected unless assembly is needed for a brand of table. Offerors should factor in the installation/assembly time and costs IF there are any.\n\nFreight pricing: Should delivery be priced under CLIN 0018 or incorporated into the equipment lines, given the instruction against a separate freight line?\nOfferors shall use their best judgement. It may be easiest to just include any delivery and installation/assembly costs under line item 0018 but that is not mandatory.\n\nReseller authorization: Will an OEM letter authorizing __ to supply the specified equipment for this solicitation satisfy the authorization requirement?\n\nYes. A letter or email from the OEM stating the offeror is authorized to provide their product to the Government is sufficient.\n\nDeadline time zone: Please confirm whether the October 23 question deadline and October 30 quote deadline are noon Denver local time (MDT) or noon MST.\n\nThe deadlines are Mountain Time. We are currently in MDT but this shall change to MST on 11/1/2026.\n\nThis acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS 339113. The referenced brand, Hill Laboratories, appears to be other than small. FAR 52.219-33 (Nonmanufacturer Rule) is listed in the clause matrix but is not marked applicable. Please confirm whether the Nonmanufacturer Rule applies, and if so, whether an SBA class waiver is in place that would permit a small business offeror to supply the Air Flex II or an equal product from a large manufacturer.\n\nSince this requirement is set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is not expected to exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, the limitations associated with the nonmanufacturer rule shall not apply. Offerors may provide products manufactured by both small and large businesses.\n\n**The manufacturer for the Air Flex II, Hill Laboratories, has been confirmed to be a small business per SAM.gov Reps and Certs.\n\nThe Description states \"Freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item,\" but Line Item 0018 is titled \"Delivery\" with a quantity of 2 EA. Please clarify where freight should be priced.\n\nThe Offeror may add the cost of freight to the delivery line item (#0018) or to the first line item if appropriate.\n\nThe salient characteristics cap the weight of the table and equipment at 300 lbs. Please confirm whether this applies to the base table only or to the fully configured table with all listed options.\n\nThis applies to base table only.\n\nPlease confirm that Line Item 0018, quantity 2 EA, represents one delivery to each of the two locations.\n\nCorrect, the quantity of 2 is due to one table EACH needing to be delivered to two separate locations. Therefore, delivery would be completed as two jobs.\n\nFor the VAAR 852.212-71(c) manufacturer authorization, is a signed letter from the OEM on its letterhead (naming __ as an authorized distributor for this solicitation) sufficient, or is a specific format required?\n\nNo specific format. Just some letter/email from the OEM stating the Offeror is authorized to sell their product to the Government.\n\nIf an \"equal\" product is offered, should the authorization letter come from that product's manufacturer?\n\nYes. An authorization letter is only needed from the OEM of the brand product the Offeror is offering.\n\nIs a delivery lead time after award stated in days (e.g., ARO) acceptable for Volume III, or is there a required delivery date?\n\nYes. Offerors shall indicate the estimated number of days After Receipt of Order (ARO) of the contract in which the Offeror would be able to deliver the product to the locations once they receive the awarded contract. A specific date is not needed as the Government understands that it would be difficult to calculate since we do not know the specific date in which this requirement will be awarded.","html":"Amendment 001 to Solicitation #36C25927Q0025 (Air-powered chiropractic tables)\n\nThis amendment s purpose is to list and answer the questions submitted by the questions deadline as specified in the solicitation.\n\nQuestions and Answers:\n\nCLIN 0018 is listed as \"Delivery,\" but the solicitation states freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item. How should offerors handle delivery/freight pricing?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate.\n\n\nIs any on-site installation or assembly required at the SLC or Ogden facilities, or is this delivery of the equipment only?\n\nThe expectation is that the tables are pre-assembled and will be easy to place in the clinics. However, if the tables are NOT pre-assembled, the offeror should include installation/assembly fees into the delivery line item and ensure it is noted.\n\n\nFor an \"or equal\" product, will an Authorized Distributor Letter from the manufacturer of the equal product we quote satisfy VAAR 852.212-71(c), or must the letter be from Hill Laboratories specifically?\n\nThe Authorized Distributor Letter must be from the manufacturer of the brand the offeror is proposing. Offerors would only need to provide a letter from Hill Laboratories IF they are offering the Government the Hill Laboratories product.\n\n\nInstallation scope: The section is titled \"Delivery and Installation,\" but no installation tasks are listed. Should the price include inside delivery to the treatment room, uncrating, assembly, set-up/leveling, functional testing, packaging and debris removal, and staff in-service training? If so, please name the rooms and floors at each site.\n\nThe expectation is for the tables to be delivered pre-assembled to the facility. The VA staff would then take possession of the items and move them to the clinic space. The Offeror should include installation/assembly costs IF the tables are not delivered pre-assembled.\n\nDelivery windows and access: Please give the allowed delivery days and hours, receiving dock or entrance, elevator access, any check-in or escort steps, and a point of contact at each site (George E. Wahlen VAMC, 500 Foothill Dr., Salt Lake City; Ogden CBOC, 2945 South Washington Blvd., Suite 1, South Ogden). Are deliveries to the 2 sites allowed on different dates?\n\nDeliveries may occur on different dates if needed.\nDeliveries shall be made between 0700 and 1700 Mondays through Fridays (except on Federal holidays).\n\n\nRequired delivery date: Is there a required or target delivery date, or a maximum lead time in calendar days after award?\n\nA target delivery date is not available. Offerors are encouraged to provide the most accurate delivery lead time possible based on information currently available from the manufacturer. This is an evaluation factor so Offeror s information will be compared.\n\n\nFreight vs. line 0018: The RFQ says freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, but line 0018 is \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/installation be priced on line 0018, or included in line 0001 with 0018 shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nRemoval of existing tables: Is the contractor expected to remove and dispose of any existing tables at either site? If yes, how many, which models, and is there a VA disposal process?\n\nNo removal or disposal services are required for this requirement.\n\n\n\"Or equal\" salient characteristics: The RFQ says \"air powered - NOT pneumatic or hydraulic.\" Air-powered systems run on compressed air, which is usually described as pneumatic. Please clarify what this requirement excludes so that \"equal\" products can be judged fairly.\n\nSalient characteristics updated to:  Must be air powered/pneumatic   NOT hydraulic \n\n\nOption lines: For an \"equal\" product, may an option that is standard on that product be shown as \"Included with line item 0001\"? Must each brand-name part number (for example, AF-F15, 92CS, 97) be matched one for one?\n\nEach line item does not need to be matched one for one. However, the Offeror should ensure the components listed in the line items are included in the table. Please ensure a note is provided if the brochures/specification documents do not clearly show those items are included with the table.\n\n\nHeight and width: Does a maximum height of exactly 29\" meet the requirement, and is the 27\" width (line 0017) the required width?\n\nThe tables must be able to reach at least 29  but if the table is able to exceed this height (up to ~ 32 ) that would be preferred.\n\nThe width dimension of the table must be between 27  and 33 \n\n\nAuthorized distributor letter: Is the OEM letter (VAAR 852.212-71(c)) required for all offerors who are not the OEM, including authorized dealers? Must it name this solicitation, or is a general authorization letter on OEM letterhead acceptable?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\n\nContractor access/PIV: Clauses 852.204-70/72 are included, but all risk levels are marked N/a. Please confirm that delivery and installation staff will not need a background check or PIV card, and that a visitor badge and escort is enough?\n\nThe expectation is for the tables to be pre-assembled and the Offeror would only need to deliver the item to the warehouse dock/facility. No access to the facility is anticipated although the VA staff may accompany the Offeror if delivery/installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nWarranty/service: Should on-site labor warranty or service be included, or only the minimum 1 year parts warranty?\n\nMinimum 1-year parts warranty; additional on-site and/or service warranty appreciated but not mandatory\n\n\nPage limits: The RFQ mentions page limitations but does not state any. Is there a page limit for any volume?\n\nNo page limits are present for this solicitation. However, Offerors should be mindful of potential email size limitations.\n\n\nOption to Extend Services (52.217-8) and Service Contract Labor Standards (52.222-41/43) are included. Please confirm whether they apply to this one-time supply purchase with installation.\n\nFAR 52.217-8 was included in case an extension to the period of performance is needed. \n\nSCLS does not apply to this requirement.\n\n\nDeadline time zone. The RFQ states quotes are due 12:00 PM MST on 30 October 2026, while SAM.gov lists the response deadline at UTC-06:00 (MDT). Please confirm the controlling local time for submission.\n\nThe deadline is 12pm MT on 10/30/2026.\n\n\nDelivery pricing. The instructions state freight shall be added to another line item and not be its own line item, yet the schedule includes line item 0018 \"Delivery.\" Should delivery/freight be priced in line item 0018, or folded into line item 0001 with 0018 marked accordingly?\n\nFreight costs may be added to the delivery line item if the offeror deems appropriate. If the tables are not pre-assembled, the Offeror will need to include installation/assembly fees in the delivery line item total. *Be sure to make a note that installation/assembly is needed.\n\n\nInstallation. Is installation/set-up of the tables required at either delivery location (Salt Lake City and Ogden), or is delivery only required? If set-up is required, will VA personnel escort access be arranged through the receiving facility?\n\nIf the tables are pre-assembled, installation shall not be required. However, if assembly of the table is required, the Offeror should include those costs in their quote and should plan to be onsite to install/assemble each table. VA staff may escort visitors IF installation/assembly of the product is needed. This may be discussed during the post-award meeting.\n\n\nAuthorized distributor letter. Must the VAAR 852.212-71(c) letter from the OEM name the offeror specifically, or is a general letter of authorization from the manufacturer sufficient?\n\nIf the Offeror is not the manufacturer of the product they are offering, they must provide an authorized distributor letter from the manufacturer. The letter must be from the manufacturer stating the Offeror is authorized to sell/distribute the manufacturer s product to the Government. The letter may be on letterhead an/or an email but it must clearly be from the manufacturer and specify the Offeror.\n\n\nLine item 0013 option code. Line item 0013 references option \"92CSAF\" (rocker foot pedal substitute for air at foot end). Please confirm this is the correct Hill Laboratories option code for the requested item.\n\nYes, this is the correct code\n\n\nInstallation: the delivery section is titled \"Delivery and Installation\" and asks for lead time \"including installation, if applicable.\" Is any installation, assembly or setup required, or is delivery to the receiving area at each site sufficient?\n\nThe station team will either expect the table to come pre-assembled OR the Offeror will need to plan to assemble the tables onsite.
