Questions and Answers for 36C24423Q1176 The question is regarding testing required. There are a couple tests that are labeled something similarly (i.e. Intelligen, which is similar to our Comprehensive Myeloid Panel). Would this be acceptable as we can substitute an equivalent test? Answer: Yes, IntelliGEN vs comprehensive myeloid panel is acceptable as a substitute equivalent test. If there are less than 10% (less than 10 of the required tests) of the tests that we cannot perform (such as Microdissection est. qty. 6), can we still submit an offer that would be acceptable? Answer: Please refer to page 46 Evaluation Approach, Factor 1 Technical Proposal.
