About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to a solicitation for pickup walkers and rollators. The solicitation is seeking pricing for walkers to be provided through the Medical Surgical Prime Vendor program for facilities to purchase for home use. Pricing should include any fees charged by prime vendors, as orders may be placed through them. While other walkers may be available on medical supply contracts, only those awarded under this national contract can have matching OEM part numbers. The prime vendor fee is negotiated between awardees and vendors and is separate from the standard SLA fee. No additional quantities or pricing submissions are required specific to prime vendor sales.

| 16 | 20 -21 | 1.6.9.1 Commercial Agreements & 1.6.9.3 Pricing and Fees | With the addition of this clause, will the government require an additional price submission for selling product to the Prime Vendors? MSPV Prime Vendors add additional fees to their vendors that the Government does not. Therefore working with the Prime Vendors adds additional costs to the items. Additionally, if a Vendor does not already have an agreement with the Prime Vendors, it will take more time to setup the relationships to fully understand the costs of doing business with these Prime Vendors. Each Prime Vendor has different fees. In order to give accurate pricing, there needs to be time to understand these costs to submit a competitive bid. | See Question 4 and Government Response |

The Government is now asking for the supplier to pay the already set SLA and require us to pay additional fees (varies with each Prime Vendor) put in place with the Prime Vendors. | See Question 4 and Government Response. The Government will not get involved with an awardee and their negotiations or any possible terms and conditions, with regard to the PV/awardee commercial agreement(s). |
