Amendment 0001

CONTINUATION PAGE

The following answers are provided to the received questions from industry

1. Is this a national project or for one specific VISN? I saw VISN 5 was called out once; however, the rest of the document reads a bit like it's national.

Response: This is a national project, however the actual technology deployment model the VA chooses to pursue will be dependent on the technical capabilities presented.

2. Is there an incumbent solution?

Response: Mammography tracking solutions are deployed throughout VHA in either site level or VISN level deployments.

3. What is the time frame for when the VA would like to have this solution up and running?

Response: The timeframe for implementation will be dependent on the deployment model VHA chooses, as well as site level prioritization and readiness. A draft of the deployment timeframe will be included in the solicitation performance work statement. Please make a recommendation, based on the site quantity in the draft PWS, on a reasonable timeframe to have this solution up and running.

4. Who is the buyer? Apologies if my terminology is off but I believe you are the contracting officer and there should be a buyer on the actual VISN side. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Response: We are still in the market research phase of this requirement. It has not yet been determined. A multidisciplinary team of VA clinical and technical stakeholders will be reviewing the information submitted and conducting any future decision-making processes.

5. Who ultimately makes the vendor selection, should this project get up and running? Are the individual sites involved in the decision-making process?

Response: A VA multidisciplinary team has been assembled to conduct the market research and future evaluations. Team-members span sites and VISNs therefore no given site is highlighted in the decision-making process.
