RFQ: 36C25226Q0615 - Questions and Answers
The solicitation includes FAR 52.219-33 and VAAR 852.219-76. SBA-s class-waiver database identifies a waiver for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing under NAICS 334510. Please confirm whether that class waiver applies to the complete NIDEK MC-500 system and accessories under this RFQ.
Yes — the SBA class waiver for NAICS 334510 does apply to fully integrated medical laser systems and their accessories, and by extension it applies to the complete NIDEK MC‑500 system and its required components.
