One benefit for the vendor community is that the VA DALC has a warehouse operation and is capable of receiving large, manufacture direct purchases. The VA DALC is a national distribution center which procures through large contracts various medical equipment and supplies. The DALC contracts can include a single ordering entity and billing point and a single warehouse delivery point. Vendors should note that responses to this RFI may in part be utilized by the Agency in a determination whether or not to set aside particularly listed Agency items or item exclusively for participation by various small business socio-economic concerns. This is a Request for Information only. It is not an invitation to submit any offers or bids. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. Do not submit any offers or bids in response to this (RFI). Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Agency to form a binding contract. The Agency will not award a contract on the basis of this RFI nor will it pay for information or comments submitted to the Agency in response to this RFI. 3. INFORMATION REQUESTED AND QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED: The procurement is for commercially available items. There is a set of questions and information requests for each item. Some questions ask about industry commercial practices. Regarding the draft items, a vendor may choose to provide a RFI response to one or more of the listed items. The term vendor refers to those members of industry providing a response to this RFI. Vendors are encouraged to provide any information or comments that they believe would be useful to the Agency in its descriptions of the item and minimum technical requirements. Please note that the Agency may utilize RFI response information and comments that it receives to help develop a possible later Agency Request for Proposals (RFP) that may later be posted publically on FedBizOpps.gov. Therefore, vendors shall not submit any proprietary or confidential information. The use of information submitted to the Agency as a result of this RFI will be at the discretion of the Agency. The Agency is not obligated to provide comments to vendor submissions. The Government will not pay for any RFI response information, including but not limited to, information or comments requested or questions answered, nor will it recognize or reimburse any costs associated with any RFI submission. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Therefore, the Government recommends that vendors submit electronic versions of, or web links to, previously prepared presentations, documentation, white papers, and other relevant information. 4. RESPONSES Responses must be submitted to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Denver Acquisition and Logistics Center, on or before 4:00 PM Mountain Time on Friday, February 24, 2017.
