In response to a pre-filing notice filed before the Court of Federal Claims (COFC), VA issues this amendment. The purpose of this amendment is to provide and update to Section 2.4.8 of the Statement of Work, update Attachment A, and update

Attachment B.

36C24126R0001 0012

The below listed issued were identified in a pre-filing notice filed before the COFC:

1. CLINs 13 – 13AD of the Attachment A Price Schedule requires offerors to propose shipping prices. Separately, the Solicitation at Section B.2.4.8 provides a structure for when potentially more favorable VA-USPS Negotiated Service Agreement (NSA) shipping rates will be made available to the contractor. PDS has asked the VA to clarify the circumstances in which the NSA rates will be available, including whether utilization of the NSA rates for one vendor will result in all vendors be permitted to utilize the NSA rates.

2. PDS has also asked the VA to provide guidance regarding certain items within the

Attachment B Other than Certified Pricing Data document:

a. VA’s formula for CLIN 0001AG contained an error.

b. VA did not remove CLINs 0001AE, 0003AE, 0004AE, 0005AC, 0005AD, and

0005AE.

c. The Information and Instructions tab states: “Do not provide any cost data EXCEPT for CLIN 0012. This form should only contain pricing data as proposed by the offeror with the exception noted.” PDS noticed there is no field for CLIN 0012 on the price tabs.

3. PDS has asked the VA to provide guidance regarding the units to be used for

Attachment A, Price Schedule, CLINs 0011AE and 0011AF. The unit for those items is

PR in the base year and switches to EA for the option years.

VA Response Issue 1: See revised Section B, 2.4.8.

VA Response Issue 2, a through c: See revised Attachment B.

VA Response Issue 3: See revised Attachment A.

STATEMENT OF WORK SECTION 2.4.8 UPDATE

2.4.8. SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS: This section is not yet active and is anticipated to be the shipping requirements when procedures are established. This section will be activated through a unilateral contract modification, and the contractor agrees to establish agreements with appropriate parties and perform in accordance with this section when activated. The contractor may use any shipping carrier until this section is activated. VA reserves the right to use the more favorable shipping rate.
