7230--DOMILICILARY WINDOW TREATMENTS

Amendment / Modification

This amendment addresses vendor questions and provides clarifications for Solicitation 36C24626Q0250.

Key clarifications include:

• Fascia Requirements: The VA prefers both square and curved fascias, but any anti-ligature fascia option is acceptable if it meets the anti-ligature requirement. Bidders should ensure their chosen fascia is anti-ligature.
• Brand Specificity: The solicitation specifies "Webblok Shade System" and WT Shades CF200 SoloMount as the basis of design. Equal products meeting salient characteristics (anti-ligature, specific solar fabric, GREENGUARD/NFPA 701 certified, custom arched fascia) are acceptable. A demo is required within two weeks of submission if proposing equals.
• Valence Removal: Existing valences must be removed per the Statement of Work.
• Arch Material: The VA desires the valence for the arch to be the same material as the custom fascia mentioned in the Statement of Work.
• Custom Fabrication: Custom fabrication for arched valences is approved if necessary. Bidders were advised to contact Inpro directly regarding their custom fascia capabilities.
• Current Vendor: The VA does not know the current vendor of the shades.

This amendment clarifies requirements related to window shades, fascias, and valences, as detailed in the Q&A section.

No changes to proposal deadlines or submission rules are indicated. Bidders should ensure their proposals address the clarified requirements, particularly regarding anti-ligature features and acceptable product substitutions.
