Questions Regarding 15BCTS18Q00000023 (SA, MH, and SOT in Memphis, TN.)

Question 1: This contract grants the government 9 option years in which the contract can be renewed or ended. Does the contractor also have the right to accept or decline the renewed option?

Response: No. Determining whether or not to exercise an option year is the unilateral right of the

Government.

Question 2: If our best option is to subcontract 100% of the treatment is that allowable under the terms of service?

Response: It is permissible to subcontract all of the required treatment services. However, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) will not have a contractual relationship with the subcontractor. Meaning, the prime contractor is responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the contract. Furthermore, the prime contractor must have a business license in their name to conduct business in the state of Tennessee.

In addition, the prime contractor must have a valid lease agreement with the subcontractor. Finally, if the perspective quoter is not a small business concern, a completed subcontracting plan must be submitted.

Question 3: I am not sure I am reading this correctly. We need to submit this proposal on a CD? Can we submit it in a paper format? Also, is the deadline for it to be in your office or postmarked?

Response: Yes, the quotation must be submitted via CD- ROM. Also, paper quotations will not be accepted. Finally, the deadline for receipt of quotations refers to the date and time the quotation must be in the possession of the Government.
