Description

Attaching Response to Questions & Extending solicitation end date to November 25, 2024 Expected delivery date of device/equipment once awarded: 01/01/2025 If not a brand-new contract, could you please provide the current / previous contract number? Brand New contract Printing on 20 long paper is non-typical and often requires additional feeding systems and can thus increase the cost of a device. The industry standard is 19.2 .� To promote Fair and Open competition, will the VA consider revising the paper size/length supported as up to 19.2 ? No, we would like to be able to print up to 12 x27 .� This will support printing larger poster sized projects. Industry copier standard booklet making sizes are 7.2 x 10.2 13 x 19.2 . To accommodate a sheet size of 10.0 x 20.5 will require a larger, more robust booklet finisher and thus increase the cost and footprint significantly. To promote Fair and Open competition, will the VA consider revising the booklet specifications to 7.2 x 10.2 13 x 19.2 ? Yes Folding envelopes is not a function supported by industry standard copiers. To promote Fair and Open competition, will the VA consider removing envelopes from the Folding Capabilities #4 requirement? Yes, but we would like to maintain the ability of letter folding. Will the VA elaborate as to what In coils, wire, 2-8 hole varieties means and the specific function needed? The ability to use different types of materials for binding books, booklets and various types of projects.� We would like the flexibility to provide different options when creating booklets that require binding such as plastic, wired or metal binding solutions and the ability to hole punch 2-8 holes depending on the size of the project. Does the VA require the capability of trimming the Face of Booklets? Yes Does the VA require a dedicated Print Processing Controller/Server or just capabilities of color printing from a VA server? Require a dedicated print processing controller/server. Would you be able to provide an estimate of the total volume of copies you anticipate on producing? This is not something that we have tracked.� This machine will not be a regular copier.� This production machine will allow to keep larger print jobs in house and flexibility on high end projects.� In the past any print that was over 500 copies was outsourced to a community vendor.� It will be difficult to provide an accurate estimate as far as copies or prints that we will use.�
