This amendment is answering the final question and clarifying the information on beta.sam.gov.

Beta.sam.gov shows this a a pre-solicitaiton notice. This is incorrect as this is the actual solicitation.

The cause of this discrepancy is currently unknown. Please treat this as a normal solicitation.

See attached for questions and answers.

The time period for questions is over and no further questions will be accepted.

Please acknowledge receipt of this amendment.

Question: I noticed the requirements require the bidding company to have an ABC/BOC Accredited facility within 75 miles. We are an ABC accredited O&P company with a mobile lab service model where we provide care on-site at hospitals, rehab facilities and patient homes. Our Mobile O&P Labs have all equipment needed for modifications and custom fittings with all main fabrication done at our ABC Accredited facility lab out of state, not within 75 miles. We have a mobile unit based in Maryland, within 75 miles of the delivery locations in Baltimore and DC, which serves patients in the geographic area spanning from Washington DC to Baltimore, MD. As it's not a physical location, the mobile lab does not fit accreditation criteria to be separately ABC accredited, rather it's covered under our main facility accreditation. Is there an ability for us to bid on this contract or would that not fit contract intent?

Answer: Yes, you may propose. However, the VA would like to clarify that this is not just for custom. It would be for things like shoes, compression, inserts and braces, but not just a limbs contract.
