See below message from the end-user/TPOC; Based on the variety of questions that the bidders have had, it is clear we need to further define our requirements. Over the next few months Vetlab will research what is best practices within the Pathology professional community. We will revisit this service need once our requirements are clearly defined. Thank you for your assistance and patience. *************************************************************** AMENDMENT 00002, EFFECTIVE DATE = 9/6/2012 1. The purpose of this amendment is to answer some questions regarding the solicitation; 1) What is the image resolution? Ans: Slides are glass 25 x 75 mm histological microscope slides. 2) What file format do you want? Ans: Image export files must be.jpg, and.png. Actual stored files must be stored so that buyer and consultants can access and manipulate through scanned images of each slide via supplied viewing software. 3) Should images be scanned as color? Ans: Images must be scanned in color to show actual tissue and staining colors. 4) What is the file naming convention? Ans: 2D barcodes are used. 5) Is there a metadata requirement?

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. *************************************************************** AMENDMENT 00001, EFFECTIVE DATE = 9/1/2012 1. The purpose of this amendment is to answer some questions regarding the solicitation; 1) Will the 3300 slides for scanning be submitted at a single time or will they sent to the vendor over a period of time? What rate will they be sent at? Ans. YES, THEY WILL BE SENT ALL AT ONE TIME. 2) How long must the data be stored? Ans. FOREVER. 3) What level of security is required on the server? Is the data considered classified? Is SSL connection satisfactory? Ans. IT NEEDS TO HAVE USERNAME/PASSWORD LEVEL. THESE IMAGES ARE NOT CLASSIFIED. WE WOULD REQUIRE TO ABILITY TO GRANT CONSULTANT ACCESS TO SELECTED IMAGES. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN SSL CONNECTION IS...I AM SORRY. 4) Is there additional data that must be stored and accessible on the server? eg historical data generated by other vendors. Ans. NO 5) Are the 3300 slides everything that will scanned under the contract or is this a ballpark number used for the purposes of selecting a vendor? Might there be more or less? Is this contract likely to lead to a longterm data generation and storage service? Ans. THIS IS A BALLPARK FIGURE. FUTURE USE OF THIS SERVICE WILL BE ON A MUCH SMALLER SCALE ON A CASES BY CASE BASIS. WE HOPE THAT THIS CONTRACT WOULD LEAD TO LONG TERM STORAGE OPTIONS - HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THAT COST WILL BE AT THIS TIME. 2. The solicitation closing date remains unchanged. 3.
