About this file

This is a Solicitation Questions and Answers amendment document issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 6, located in Hampton, Virginia. The amendment addresses three vendor-submitted questions regarding solicitation 36C24626Q0496 for Off-Site Tele-Radiology Services at the Asheville VA Medical Center, effective July 24, 2025.

The amendment clarifies that this is a brand-new requirement for the Asheville VAMC, with current services being provided by staff radiologists and the VA National Teleradiology Program. Contractors must first be awarded the contract before proceeding with obtaining a Memorandum of Understanding/Information Security Agreement (MOU/ISA) through the Office of Information and Technology at the specified SharePoint link. Notably, the solicitation has been amended to require that all Radiologists be Board Certified only; Board-Eligible Radiologists are no longer acceptable for this contract. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged. The contracting officer is David E. Smith.
