Questions and Answers

1. Is there an estimation for the percentage of assets that are not currently bar coded?

No, but if an estimate is required, 5-10% is an average. Either way, if a bar code is missing, it will be created when found.

2. Is there an estimation for the amount of equipment that will need to be located?

No, but if an estimate is required, 1-5% is an average. The majority of equipment is already located in the building but might have been moved.

3. Is there a current or expired contract for these services? If so, may we request the contract number?

Some locations currently have individual contracts in place, however, there is no known BPA currently in place to provide the required services to VISN’s 10,15,12, and 23 within Midcon.

Other stations do not currently have a contract at all.

4. #11 Delivery Schedule states “The preferred month for scanning is in October”. Does this mean that the expectation is for the physical inventories at all 33 sites will be conducted in October?

Yes, however, not all 33 will be participating at the same time. The max amount is 33 sites. A PO will be provided as sites participate, and dates are approved by the site COR.

5. Is there a set calendar of the start and finish dates for each location?

No there is not

6. I am seeking the Attachments for this Solicitation to review the format of the final deliverables.

See attachments

• Attachment A - Final Report – SAMPLE

• Attachment B - Equipment IN Scope examples2

• Attachment C - Equipment NOT In Scope examples

• Attachment D - Master List – SAMPLE

• Attachment E- Location SAMPLE

• Attachment F- Complete nonexpendable equipment list- SAMPLE

7. Under sections E10 and E11, there is no information regarding the evaluation rating the government intends to utilize to determine best value. Which rating will be used? (ie: Will the ratings be adjustable, numerical, color?)

This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13 as such that information is not required under that authority.

8. Can you provide the last contract award amount for this project? Also, can the company use its own scanners to perform inventory?

There is currently no BPA in place. Per the SOW VA equipment will be used to conduct scans.
