Since the jacket operates at a lower pressure than the generator, the presence of an overpressure safety valve on the generator is sufficient to ensure that the pressure in both the generator and the jacket remains within safe operating limits.In addition, the system is equipped with other safety mechanisms, including temperature and pressure sensors, to further ensure safe and reliable operation. 2- Plasma Sterilizer – Spec #3.a (Rigid lumens: Ability to process single channel stainless steel lumens of internal diameter at least 0.8 mm or larger and length of 500 mm or longer. ):Our system supports rigid lumen dimensions starting from 1 mm and above, which remains within a clinically acceptable and widely adopted range.Would you please amend it to be at least 1 mm? 3- Ultrasonic Cleaner – Spec #4 (Automatic chemical dosing system ):Our model includes a manual dosing system. This approach offers flexibility, ease of maintenance, and reduces potential technical failures associated with automated systems.Would you please amend it to be an automatic or manual chemical dosing system? 4- Sealer – Spec #2 (Outer casing made of high quality stainless steel type 304 or better. ) Would you please amend it to become; Outer casing made of high quality painted steel or  stainless steel type 304 or better. As the material of the outer casing is not part of the sealing process and the painted steel provides the required functions. We kindly request further clarification on these specifications to ensure full alignment and compliance.TermsWith reference to the experience requirements outlined in point # 2 and 3 from Qualification Criteria, we would appreciate your kind clarification on the following points:1-Regarding supply through third-party agents:In case the bidder has successfully supplied and installed all the required equipment within a single project, while one of the items was sourced through a local authorized agent (not directly represented by the bidder), and the bidder remains responsible for installation and after-sales service, would this be considered compliant with the stated experience requirement?2-Regarding model equivalency:Is it mandatory for the previously supplied equipment models to be identical to the ones currently offered in this tender, or would technically equivalent models with similar performance and specifications from the same manufacturer be considered acceptable?3-Regarding combined project experience:In case the bidder has completed multiple projects within the past five years, where collectively all required equipment items have been supplied and installed (though not necessarily within a single project), would such combined experience be considered acceptable in meeting the requirement?Last thing, please consider that all DOCs in the submission field set as mandatory while some on them is optional, please make the needed changes .UNOPS Answer:1- As you indicated that both the jacket and the generator are built with the same power rating and are both equipped with the same overpressure safety valves, your system already complies with the current specifications by default. Please comply with the original technical specification as originally stated.2- Please comply with the required technical specifications as originally stated.3- Please comply with the required technical specifications as originally stated.4- High-quality stainless steel type 304 or better is strictly required to ensure durability and maintain hygiene standards. Please comply with the original specifications.Clarifications on Qualification Criteria (Terms)1- Yes, this scenario is considered compliant with the stated experience requirements, provided that the bidder remains fully responsible for the installation and after-sales service of the sourced item.2- Yes, it is acceptable. The previously supplied equipment does not need to be the exact same model; experience with technically equivalent equipment or the same equipment in a different configuration from the same manufacturer is sufficient.3-Yes, combined experience across multiple projects will be considered acceptable to meet the requirement. It is not mandatory to have supplied all the required equipment within a single project.Regarding the document submission fields on the portal, please note that the required submittal documents will be requested by UNOPS for review and approval prior to delivery.
