About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document from the Department of Veterans Affairs for Solicitation 36C10X26Q0050, addressing inquiries from prospective offerors regarding the Pharmacogenomics (PGx) Education and Training RFQ. The incumbent contractor is the University of Pittsburgh, and the Government has issued this new solicitation because it requires services beyond the current contract period. The period of performance begins March 16, 2026, with two twelve-month option periods, and the Government plans to announce the contract award as soon as possible prior to that start date. The Q&A close date was February 19, 2026, with responses posted within two business days.
Key clarifications include: offerors must submit all volumes (I through IV) as outlined in Section E of Attachment A by the specified deadline, not just the price quote; students eligible for training include doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, nurses, and pharmacy technicians; the Government will not extend due dates except for reasonable requests with documented circumstances; foundational PGx content must be available immediately upon award while medication reconciliation content may be finalized within 60-90 days; and hyperlinks in proposals are prohibited, with contractors determining alternative presentation methods for educational content. The Government will not consider extending the deadline and clarified that Attachment B is the pricing schedule referenced in Attachment A rather than serving as the Performance Work Statement.
