Extension to the Submission Deadline
The due date for this solicitation submission is set for 11/10/2025 by 3pm EST; however, the specific Bill of Materials for each of the surgical custom packs being requested has not been made available at this time which limits the ability of interested vendors to accurately provide alternative EQUAL surgical custom packs that will meet the needs of the staff at the North Las Vegas VA. Can you please extend the submission deadline of this solicitation beyond 11/10/25 3pm EST in order to ensure enough time to provide an accurate and complete response?
The deadline is extended till 11/21/2025.

For interested vendors that would be providing alternative EQUAL surgical custom packs to the ones being requested in this opportunity; the initial production and delivery of these packs would likely take longer than the 45 business days indicated on this solicitation.
Would you be able to please extend the deadline for the first delivery of these custom packs beyond the 45-business day requirement?
