1. Attachment 1 Eastern Region Line Items. For item number lines below, Mail Out codes are utilized to capture various miscellaneous tests and do not correspond to a single, defined test code. Consequently, a fixed price cannot be assigned, as pricing varies based on specific test ordered. Due to this ambiguity, we respectfully request that these items be removed from the RFP.

VA Response: Vendors will not be required to price the above line items due to ambiguity and future tests must be purchased under the micro-purchase limit utilizing a government purchase card by the facilities. The schedule will be revised at time of award, leave pricing blank.

1. Attachment 1 Eastern Region Line Items. For item number lines below, please confirm the price to be provided is for the total of 9 drug screen includes Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Marijuana, Cocaine, Methadone, Opiates, Oxycodone, and Phencyclidine and not per single individual drug screen.

Question: While the requirement indicates that a resume must be submitted for any onsite processor, these positions may be filled either by existing staff or by new hires who may not have a traditional resume. In either scenario, we can provide an attestation letter verifying the individual’s qualifications and assignment. Will an attestation letter meet this requirement? Attestation letter will suffice as long as it outlines the individual’s qualifications and assignment.
