This amendment addresses vendor questions about a wheelchair cleaning contract. The work involves washing wheelchairs and possibly kitchen rugs, contaminated with hospital body fluids and food. The target is to wash 4-5 items per hour over an 8-10 hour daily shift, with no drying required. The equipment must fit items sized 39 x 62 x 65 inches externally and 32 x 49 x 55 inches internally. Only the wheelchair cleaner equipment itself needs to be quoted, not additional disinfectants.

The contractor must deliver, install, and provide training for the unit, with delivery and installation completed within 90 days after receipt of order. The unit must clean manual and power wheelchairs, including bariatric sizes, and feature high-pressure spray systems, automatic cycles, and compatibility with medical-grade disinfectants. This solicitation is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) under NAICS code 339113. No budget amount is specified in the description.
