See attached. Elaine DiBucci Contracting Officer CONTINUATION PAGE Question and Responses Does solicitation number VA24017Q0185 contain requirements similar to a current contract? Is this a new requirement for the government? Can you provide the current /previous contract number? What was the cost of the last year's contract and is this the same equipment as last year's contract? Who was the awarded vendor? Is the contract available for viewing? Is there a service/repair history report available? While some type of water treatment services were previously provided at the VA, this is a new requirement for Research Services. The scope of the services was not the same and services that were provided were not under a VA contract. Evoqua Water Technologies did provide water (tanks) services in the past, but these services were not under contract and the scope of the requirement has changed. Is all the equipment up and running? Part of the requirement is for the vendor to provide (40) Water Deionization Systems, as well as the service and maintenance for that equipment (tanks).
