EVALUATION FACTORS Offerors will be evaluated to the extent they can provide the items (or equal) listed in the price schedule in Section B. The Government will award to the lowest priced, responsible, technically acceptable offeror. Device must: 1. The sterilizer cart MUST be interchangeable with two existing Getinge sterilizers, including Getting 800 Sterilizer, as personnel must be able to load one unit (for cycling) and unload from immediately adjacent unit using the same cart(s). The autoclave/sterilizer to be purchased is used for sterilization of all bedding in the animal facility, and carts must be interchangeable for staff. Non-interchangeable parts are not feasible to use. 2. Sterilizer must have interior chamber size of 26.5"h x 26.5"w with a depth of 39" (=15.5 Cu ft), as this is the minimum size requirement that will allow bags of bedding, as well as existing carboys and flasks to be inserted for sterilizing. The space into which this sterilizer will be installed is very limited, due to the presence of a second sterilizer immediately proximal to the new sterilizer. The footprint on the unit must be equal to or less than the existing space, such that over depth does not exceed 51" (4'-3"). 3. Must meet the following standards: Seismic Anchoring per California Code; ASME Code Section VII, Div 1 for Wash/Rinse Heat exchangers; and UL/EIC codes 61010-1 and 61010-2-040 and CSA C22.2 Nos. 60101-1 and 61010-2-045. 4. Chamber and cycling must be appropriate for multiple use, including sterilization of bedding. Temperature settings for cycles must be able to accommodate 219 to 275 degrees F.
