Amendment No.: 0001
Solicitation No.: 36C24126Q0489
Date: July 27, 2026
Purpose of Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to provide responses to questions submitted regarding the solicitation. As a result of these questions and responses, the response due date remains unchanged.

They need to be installed on the supply cold & hot lines as well as the distal locations (pipe chases) across 7 patient care buildings. The unit shall be able to operate in temperatures at or above 124 °F, monitor pH, monitor residual biocide (as low as 0.001 ppm) and take instantaneous readings if needed, monitor turbidity, and monitor...
