36C10G26R0003 0001 Questions and Answers

Vendor Question VA Answer

1 Could you kindly confirm whether the effort is still in the pre-RFP stage? If so, is there an anticipated timeline for the RFP release?

Additionally, have there been any determinations made regarding the contract vehicle or potential set-asides?

We are no longer in the pre-RFP stage known as the RFI. The RFP was released to SAM.gov on 12/15/2025 to the public. Please review the RFP and combined synopsis posted for the vehicle type and set-aside.

Additionally, the Government hereby replaces the original attachment "Next Gen Medical Combined synopsis_solicitation_Final_12.15.2 025.docx" in full with " Next Gen Medical Combined synopsis_solicitation_Revised_12.23 .2025.docx ."

2 We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services. If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

This requirement is a recompete.

The services were previously performed under the following existing contracts 36C10G19D0038, 36C10G21D0001, 36C79119D0004, 36C79119D0005, 36C79119D0006.

3 I am interested in learning more about the Contract Opportunity below that was released yesterday. Is there anything scheduled for general understanding and questions regarding this contract?

All information pertaining to question submissions and the pre-proposal conference are provided in the RFP and TOPRs.

4 There appears to be a few files missing from the sam.gov posting. The TOPR West is missing the following attachments:

• ATTACHMENT C - Performance Requirement Summary

• ATTACHMENT Ca – QASP Medical West by CA

• ATTACHMENT U – Incentive Disincentive Plan West

The East attachments are there, but not the West.

Can the Government please post these files?

The following attachments are included through this amendment and are associated with 36C10G26R0003 - Medical TOPR West: • ATTACHMENT C - Performance Requirement Summary

• ATTACHMENT Ca – QASP Medical West by CA

• ATTACHMENT U – Incentive Disincentive Plan West

5 Does a notice of No-bid statement constitute a compliant response? Or will the VHA consider multiple no-bid responses (which are submitted timely in accordance with B.5.1 (3)) as a repeated failure to respond?

A timely submitted Notice of No-Bid, provided in accordance with Section B.5.1, constitutes a compliant response to a Task Order Proposal Request (TOPR). Timely No-Bid submissions will not be considered a failure to respond. The Government reserves the right to consider the overall level of participation at the task order level when evaluating past performance, exercising options, or making off-ramping determinations in accordance with the solicitation.

6 Is it the government’s intent to limit prospective offerors to only those who have experience as large commercial insurance carriers with a regional/national footprint or is the intent to encourage single-state or community affiliated Medicaid health plans to bid on the IDIQ contract.

This solicitation is being competed full and open to align with the Government’s intent to promote maximum competition. VA will not limit prospective offerors to those who have experience as large commercial insurance carriers with a regional/national footprint.

However, Government will evaluate corporate experience in implementing services across multiple states in accordance with Section E.4 of the RFP.

7 Will VHA consider a single-state Medicaid contract to qualify as and fully demonstrate the performance of services that “covers multiple states”?

In accordance with Section E of the RFP VA will not consider a single-state contract as demonstration of performance of services across multiple states.

8 Please confirm that it is VHA’s intent to consider offerors for award who may qualify across all, or only subset of the IDIQ’s PWS tasks.

Offerors do not have to demonstrate corporate experience in all task areas defined in Section 1.2 of the IDIQ PWS. Offerors who demonstrate adequate corporate experience, as described in Section E of the IDIQ RFP, for relevant services in one or more of the task areas described in Section 1.2 of the IDIQ PWS will be evaluated and considered for IDIQ contract award.

The Government will evaluate and award task order / TOPR proposals in accordance with Section E of the

TOPR.

9 Please confirm that “full requirements of the solicitation” is defined as the submission-specific instructions to the offeror (i.e., volumes, formats, page counts, etc.), and that “full requirement” does not include each and every task identified in the IDIQ PWS.

VA confirms that “full requirement”, as stated in RFP Section E.3, is referring to the submission-specific instructions to the offeror (i.e., volumes, formats, page counts, etc.). VA intends to amend the RFP Section E.3 to clarify this language.

11 I would like to know if there will be an info session for this opportunity that we might be able to attend. Additionally, is there a Scope of Work and eligibility list that we might be able to access?

Are there specific line items for IT to run the IDIQ structure?

VA is unable to provide a response because the question is unclear and the intent of the inquiry cannot be ddetermined.

14 I wanted to request clarification on whether Audiology for hearing disabilities will be covered as part of this scope of this recently released RFP? If it is not, will there be a separate RFP process where Audiology will be covered?

Audiology is not covered under the scope of the Community Care Network Next Generation Medical Multiple Award IDIQ.

I was hoping you could please share any information or a link for registration to the industry day pertaining to the VA CCN NextGen Medical requirement: Solicitation number 36C10G26R0003.

To register for the Pre-Proposal Conference provide the required information as required by section E.3 (D) of the RFP.

17 Hi – We were hoping you could provide some clarification;

The pre-proposal dates in the CCN documents: it says January 21 on the first page, but January 22 on page 100.

We are thinking that you are doing the Dental Pre-Proposal Conference on the 21st, and the Medical Pre-Proposal Conference on the 22nd.

Is that a correct assumption?

The Dental Pre-Proposal conference is 1/21/2025. The Medical Preproposal conference is 1/22/2025. Block 20 of the Dental RFP is amended to reflect this correction.

18 1. How many awards are going to be granted?

2. There is mention in the solicitation document that there would be a pre proposal conference for this award in person in DC but I was wondering if we can stream this online, live for those that cannot make that time?

3. How open are the solutions about using Agentic AI for Metabolic Syndrome since there seems to be no mention of that use case in the documents on sam.gov

1. VA has not established a maximum number of IDIQ contract awards. Each TOPR states the number of awards possible for each.

2. VA does not intend to provide a live stream of the preproposal conference, nor does VA expect to allow for a “dial-in” option.

Attendance at the preproposal conference is not mandatory and does not preclude an Offeror from submitting a proposal in response to the RFP. VA may make a recording of the preproposal conference publicly available via an amendment published on SAM.gov.

3. Offerors are free to use various solutions to meet PWS requirements as long as they align with the requirements and constraints established in the PWS. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with Section E of the associated

RFP/TOPR.

19 Can you help locate the Statement of Work for Notice

ID 36C10G26R0003?
