6515--Wheelchair Washing and Disinfecting Unit for Lyons VA Medical Center

The purpose of this amendment is to address questions submitted by interested vendors. The submission due date is also being extended to July 27, 2026, at 9AM EST. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Question: Could you specify the products that require washing? Is it only wheelchairs, or also other items? Answer: Wheelchairs and possibly kitchen rugs on a rack. Question: What are the size measurements of these items? Answer: Outside (W x H x L) 39 x 62 x 65 ; Inside (W x H x L) 32 x 49 x 55 capable of fitting a bariatric chair inside. Question: What type of contamination is present on these products? Answer: Hospital contaminants i.e. Body fluids and food. Question: What is your target quantity of products to be washed per hour? Answer: 4-5 items per hour. Question: How many hours a day is the washing process expected to run? Answer: 8-10hrs. Question: Is this a start to finish job? Answer: This is not a start to finish job; there is no need for a dryer. Question: Under the "DESIRED UNIQUE CAPABILITIES" section on page 6, it states under the subsection "Disinfection": "During the disinfection cycle, a liquid disinfectant concentrate or Ready to Use will be dispensed and sprayed onto equipment surfaces. If UV is used for disinfection, the wash and rinse cycles are first completed and then the UV lamps come on for 3 minutes." Does the end-user want us to quote just the UV unit or are we to add Ready to Use (RTU) Disinfectant Components or Concentrate Disinfectant Components or both at a discount. If need be, I can always add the ADD-ON DISINFECTANTS as optional. Answer: Only the wheelchair cleaner equipment needs to be quoted.
