Description

Questions to RFQ 36C25623Q1091APHA Method 9215 is the testing procedure in the lab, not the sampling procedure for collecting water samples. VHA Directive 1061 (1) is for Legionella which appears to be the reason for the solicitation. Can you please confirm if this solicitation is for Legionella?

The revised sampling procedure for critical water was also reviewed by VA Engineering, Sterile Processing Service (SPS) and Infection Control. The procedure requires cleaning the port before a 5 - 10-minute flush of critical water through that port before taking the HPC sample. This ensures no residual alcohol creates a false negative and we receive the most representative sample of the critical water. Scope Clarification: Are there any specific areas within the facilities that require more frequent or intensive testing?

Any additional services that might be required due changing conditions, requirements, or equipment will be handled through a...
