Not in the notice text

• Estimated value or budget is not stated
• What the line items 'BALANCES-29' and 'LIG-300' (4 each) cover is not explained in the SOW; there are no separate line items for thermometers or repairs even though the SOW describes them
• Whether the original named-source language (Getinge USA Sales, LLC) still reflects the Government's intent after the amendment
• The SF 1449 set-aside and business size standard boxes came through blank in the text; the notice says no set-aside is used
