140G0324Q0173/0001 diagnostics, surgical equipment, etc. used or prescribed by the contractor veterinarian?

ANSWER: Yes

QUESTION: Pg 14 of 15, Section 2.0 states, "Emergency visits may be necessary, as well." Can the government provide an estimate on the frequency of emergency visits? Also, can the government provide the expectation on how quickly the contractor veterinarian should arrive at the site after being contacted for an emergency visit?

ANSWER: The primary role of the Vet would be to review protocol and projects to comply with AWA.

Any emergency visit would be to investigate issues as described above and response time would be probably around 72 hours. I don't think we can provide an estimate for this because this contract is a response to new policy in place and we have no record of past incidents. Our expectation is that the frequency would be low given how few fish we typically have in captivity.

QUESTION: In light of the Federal Holiday on

05/27/2024, will the government consider extending the RFQ due date?

ANSWER: Yes. It will be extended to 05/31/2024 at

1200 PDT.
