Contractor-Furnished Equipment 3.1 The contractor shall provide, install and maintain bulk oxygen tank(s) with appropriate back-up system(s). Through the duration of the contract, the contractor shall be liable for the integrity, suitability, and safety of contractor owned tank(s) that will insure compliance with applicable regulations, standards and normal good practices.

The contractor shall be provided reasonable access to the bulk oxygen systems for this purpose. 4. Installation of Contractor-Owned Equipment 4.1 Unless otherwise directed by the using facility, contractor owned equipment shall be installed by the effective date of the contract and shall be connected to the medical gas system on that date; provided: that the contractor shall be allowed a maximum of ninety days after receipt of notice of award to complete installation. If the contractor's equipment replaces equipment already in use, the exchange of equipment shall be accomplished without interruption of gas supply to the using facility. Contractor installed equipment shall remain the property of the contractor and shall be removed upon termination of the contract, when directed by the ordering facility and in full cooperation with the succeeding contractor so as to avoid interruption of gas supply. 4.2 No guarantee is given or implied that data included in the schedule regarding contractor owned equipment currently located at the facilities is complete and accurate as to the factors affecting the cost of furnishing and installing the required contractor owned tanks and appurtenances. Offerors are encouraged to visit the facility sites prior to submitting a bid and take other steps as may be reasonably necessary to ascertain the nature and location of the work, and the general and local conditions which can affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so shall not relieve offerors from the responsibility of estimating properly the difficulty and cost of successfully performing the work. A site visit may be set up if requested. Any site visit request shall be provided no later than 3:00pm EST, on the second day after issuance of this solicitation. 4.3 All contractor owned equipment shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 55: Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids, 2010 Edition, NFPA 99 Standard for Health Care Facilities, 2002 Edition, and FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) Regulations. The contractor shall comply with all OSHA standards and applicable safety requirements, including proper signage and use of personal protective equipment. 5. Delivery of Medical Liquid Bulk Oxygen 5.1 Bulk oxygen is ordered by and delivered to the facility. The facility information regarding their unique delivery requirements is included in the solicitation schedule. 5.2 The contractor shall deliver medical-grade liquid oxygen within the time-frame specified in the schedule for each facility. The time-frame identified may be either the number of calendar days after receipt of the Government's order, the specific days of the week for delivery, the specific time intervals between deliveries, a specified reorder point, or other specified ordering and delivery methods. If the time frame for contractor delivery is not identified in the facility requirements, the contractor must provide 24-hour notice prior to delivery or upon mutual agreement between the facility and contractor, alternate ordering/delivery methods such as pre-scheduled deliveries, calling for tank level readings, installing a telemetry unit, etc. may be arranged. If for any reason the contractor is unable to deliver at the agreed upon day or time, the contractor will provide 24-hour notice to the COR, so that the facility can initiate an alternate backup action. In accordance with VHA Patient Safety Alert dated April 5, 2004, all deliveries must be monitored by a qualified and trained technical representative that will be designated by each facility. Contractor will be provided with names and contact information of primary and back-up facility representatives. This applies to all deliveries regardless of time or day of execution. 5.3 Tanks will be filled to maximum functional capacity at each refilling procedure unless otherwise specified in the facility requirements or as agreed upon in a written document signed and dated by the COR. 5.4 At the time of each delivery, contractor must provide a legible signed and dated written document that identifies the tank level prior to fill, the level after fill, and the quantity delivered. This document must be counter-signed by the facility representative supervising the delivery. 5.5 Emergency delivery will be provided within 24 hours after receipt of Government notification. Contractor must respond to the facility by either telephone or email within one hour to confirm receipt of emergency notification to ascertain the nature of the emergency. Emergency status is determined by the Government when conditions warrant, such as an actuated main bulk tank low level alarm, imminent alarm condition, or system leak. Failure of the contractor to remain current with agreed delivery schedule and requirements does not constitute an "emergency" for purposes of charging an emergency delivery fee. 6. Quality Assurance Specifications and Requirements 6.1 All medical gas manufacturers and fillers of medical gases must be registered with FDA as drug manufacturers. All oxygen shall be manufactured, processed, packed, transported, and stored according to FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) regulations, and all labeling shall comply with FDA's labeling regulations (21 CFR Part 201). 6.2 All liquid bulk oxygen delivered under the contract shall be medical-grade and shall meet or exceed the standards cited in the current edition of the United States Pharmacopoeia/National Formulary (U.S.P.). 6.3 A valid certificate of analysis shall be provided with each delivery of liquid oxygen.
