Description
SPS Water Sampling- Service Contract - RFI s

Sample Location 8 is Steam. It s listed as Utility Water not as Steam which would match Table 6. Are we being requested to test Bacteria in this sample like Utility Water or N/A like Steam?
Yes. We would need steam to be tested for bacteria on a quarterly basis. Onsite, when the water sampling is occurring, we have a team that will convert the steam into water and provide that sample to be tested for bacteria.
Sample Locations 4-7 Medivators are typically listed as Utility Water but per Table 2 are held to Critical Water standard values as High-level Disinfection final rinse . Are these to be tested monthly as Critical water or Quarterly as Utility Water?
The Medivators would need to be tested monthly as critical water. The medivators run off of utility water from the City of Manchester and are not on the Osmosis system.
Sample Location 12 is Re-looped Filter Osmosis ; VERDA interprets this as the Loop Return as described in Table 5 of ST108 which recommends Monthly testing of Bacteria and Endotoxin. Is this location only to be tested upon failure of Table 6 results or as described in Table 5?
The Re-looped filter Osmosis is sampling point off the Osmosis system. We determined that this location does not need to be sampled on a regular monthly or quarterly basis. We wanted to have this sampling point available incase of failures at other sample locations to test to get an comparable reading. We would estimate around 5 times per year we would need a water sample.
Re-sampling is requested upon any failures within 48 hours of request. Will this be at a set price in an added CLIN or issued as separate order?
We would like the price of re-sampling to be a set price in an added CLIN. The Service contract would include routine sampling of the sampling points (monthly/quarterly) and re-sampling.
The Statement of Work references Tables 5 and 6, which include references to Annex H and Annex I. Please confirm whether Annex H and Annex I refer to the corresponding annexes within ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023, or if there are separate VA-provided annexes that should be used for this requirement.
Annex H and Annex I refers to the corresponding annexes within the ANSI/AAMI ST108:2023 standards. Tables 5 and 6 are references from these standards and VA Policy.

The solicitation states that applicable labor rates must be provided so they can be compared to the applicable wage determination for Service Contract Labor Standards compliance. Please confirm the applicable wage determination number and revision for this requirement.
Wage determination is with the Contracting Officer expertise. There is not a special labor rate needed for this request/requirement. Cost would be labor to perform the work in sampling/gathering/analysis the sample. Other costs would be any material used and etc direct costs.

The price schedule only provides monthly line items. Are separate labor categories/rates required to be submitted with the quote, or is the completed line-item table sufficient?
A completed line item table would be sufficient. Pricing can be based on a monthly or individual sampling basis. For the resample, we estimate to need around 6 for the sample locations (1, 2, & 3), 10 for sample locations (4, 5, 6, & 7), 4 for sample locations (8, 9, 10, 11). For sample location 12 we would 5 samples. This would be per fiscal year.
