    The amendment from the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service addresses vendor questions regarding RFQ 20342325Q00002 for dental supplies and equipment for the Armed Forces Retirement Home. The government clarifies that alternative brands to Patterson Dental are acceptable and specifies that currently, purchases are directed through Benco or Henry Schein. An updated Attachment A outlines the required dental supplies, with highlighted items being regular purchases. The government outlines that there are no specific service or warranty requirements, and technical compliance will be evaluated based on quotations against solicitation requirements. Invoicing will be through IPP (ipp.gov). Vendors are advised that their socioeconomic status will be verified in SAM.gov, and partial bids will not be accepted. The contract is a single-award opportunity and requires all items in Attachment A to be priced individually. Additionally, no penalties for late deliveries are specified apart from the requirements detailed in the Performance Work Statement.

One vendor question concerned the terminology under "CASE PKG" and "ORDER UOM," specifically the differences in quantity reporting.
