The purpose of Amendment A00001 is to add contractor questions and answers as well as attach a copy of the Performance Work Statement. Question 1: I need clarification & expand on what you mean by bacteria testing ? Ecoli, Coliform Bacterium, Etc. Answer 1: AAMI TIR34 Bacteria testing states: The source of endotoxins is often the overgrowth of Gram-negative bacteria in water. The exact threshold of endotoxins on a medical device that will result in an adverse patient reaction is difficult to specify because of several variables, including, but not limited to, the source of the endotoxins (e.g., Salmonella species, E. coli, or some other Gramnegative bacteria). Quotes will now be due on 2/28/2020 at 1:00PM EST. Note: Period of performance dates may change at time of award.
