Vendor Questions (Black) / Response (Red)

1. Under Section 3 of the Q&A, the VA states that "The facility does NOT require integrated valve cylinders". However, in contradiction, the VA listed 2 rental CLINs for O2 cylinders with integrated valves, CLINS 0021/1021/2021/3021/4021 and 0022/1022/2022/3022/4022. Â
Request the VA clarify whether O2 cylinders with the integrated valve are required. If so, request the VA add gas CLINs for the fill of O2 cylinders with integrated valves. Â

Response: Yes they are required. Add two CLIN s for the O2 fill.  See CLIN 0024, 0025, 1024, and 1025, 2024, 2025, 3024, 3025, 4024 and 4025.
