Brand Name or Equal Allergan Breast Implant Supplies, IHS, Phoenix Indian Medical Center

Amendment 1: Questions 1. Extend Offer Due Date to November 28, 2023 and time remains the same. 2. On the price file, I have listed our offer price for year 1 and each subsequent option year as the - low unit cost in anticipation that we don't take a price increase in the next 5 years. In case we do, I added a 4% premium to the - high unit cost for each option year. I don't anticipate the price to raise 4% each year, but also want to make sure there is flexibility should prices need adjusting. Does that methodology work, or should I consider an alternate way to record the prices? We are requesting Low Unit Cost for 11-T and the High Unit Cost for 16-T. We will multiply the High Unit Cost times E/U or Quantity to provide us ANNUAL COST. For the next Option Years you can provide the 4% increase to the Low Unit Cost and High Unit Cost. 3. On the price file, Number 8 - tissue expander round/standard is not a product that we carry and therefore we simply left the price blank. I noticed this line item is not listed on the RFQ, was it unintentionally added to the price file? We are requesting tissue expander round/standard or something similar. 4. Regarding the requested information for the technical and past performance, in what format would you like that prepared and submitted? You can provide documents or link to the products we are requesting and the past performance can be listed on a Word document.
