ATTACHMENT 1 – VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Amendment A00004, Solicitation 36C24218R0255, Emergency Medicine Physician Services for the Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center Located in Albany, NY.

Effective 3/21/2018 Vendor Questions received through March 21, 2018:

1. If a potential offeror is a VIP verified VOSB, are they able to submit a proposal on this 100% SDVOSB set-aside?

Response: No, this requirement is 100% set-aside for VIP verified SDVOSB business concerns.

2. An amendment was posted to this solicitation that is very confusing and does not seem standard for these types of bids. How are we supposed to present candidates by 4/6 and then have them not start until 1/1/19? I am wondering if you have to present candidates with the bid?

Response: It is standard to provide the period of performance on all contracts. As the period of performance has been updated, the solicitation has been amended (See Amendment 3) to reflect the updated dates. Candidates are required to be presented in accordance with the solicitation. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that the physicians presented understand and commit to the updated period of performance.

The closing date and time has been extended to 4/27/2018 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time Zone.
