Q&A Set 1
| Health Care Benefits Services Contract Q&A | ||||||
| No. | RFP Section | Vendor Question | Government Response | RFP Changed Y / N | Responsible Party | |
| 1 | L.5 PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SOLICITATION RESPONSE | |||||
| REQUIREMENTS | We do not understand the Volume Column that reads I-IV Organization Chart (next to the last row). Does it mean you want the organizational chart in all volumes? Or where should we put the organizational charts? | The organizational chart should go in all volumes. | N | ACM | ||
| 2 | L.5 PROPOSAL PREPARATION AND SOLICITATION RESPONSE | |||||
| REQUIREMENTS | For the last row of the chart (Volumes I-IV) Volume Set, do you want us to roll together every volume into one file? OR is this just a way to let us know we need to email one of each volume in pdf – but they can be separate files? | Yes, please email one of each volume in .pdf as a separate file. | N | ACM | ||
| 3 | Section L.5.2. | Since Volume II is the technical proposal, we wanted to verify that it is Volume II that you want in an excel or a word document. Typically, the Technical proposal contains workflows and graphical elements, so pdf is the most standard method for a technical proposal. Also, spreadsheets and formulas are typically part of the Price proposal which is Volume IV. Can you advise if it is acceptable for us to submit Volume II – Technical in a pdf format? And can you advise if you want our Pricing Proposal in an excel format? | Yes it is acceptable for Vol II Technical to be in a .pdf format. See Amendment 0001 which replaces the first paragraph of section to L.5.2. | Y | ACM | |
| 4 | Section C.1.4.3 | Please define what is meant by automation and if possible, provide additional details for what this requirement would involve so vendors can competitively price CLIN 008. | Please refer to the RFP for automated IT security processes that are required by the Federal Goverment. Also note the requirements in C.1.1.5 Peace Corps Electronic Medical Records; H.11. INFORMATION SECURITY; and C.9. AUTOMATED ELIGIBILITY AND AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM, which states The Contractor shall facilitate automated transfer of data between Peace Corps and the Contractor in accordance with Peace Corps’ standard Interconnection Security Agreements. | N | OHS | |
| 5 | Section L.8.7.1 | For existing federal contracts, would Peace Corps be willing to reference our CPAR for that contract versus completing the Past Performance Questionnaire | No, per the RFP a Past Performance Questionnaire is required. | N | ACM | |
| 6 | Is there an interested parties list from other contractors who expressed interest on this requirement (i.e. responded to past RFI, etc.)? | No, there is not an interested parties list on this requirement. | N | ACM | ||
| 7 | I'm requesting to know the amount of individuals covered and the carriers that are typically quoted on these solicitations. | Please refer to RFP Section C.11. HISTORICAL BENEFICIARY DEMOGRAPHICS AND CLAIMS HISTORY for information regarding the number of members in each plan. Please note that numbers are only estimates due the evacuation and redeployment of volunteers due to the pandemic.Carrier history is not included in the RFP. | N | OHS |
