About this file
This file contains vendor questions and answers regarding a diagnostic radiology physician services contract for the Orlando VA Healthcare System. The Q&A document clarifies key operational expectations for the two full-time radiologist positions required under the pre-solicitation (Solicitation Number 36C24826Q0378), which seeks board-certified, fellowship-trained diagnostic radiologists in Body, Musculoskeletal (MSK), and Neuroradiology subspecialties. According to the responses, Body and MSK radiologists will dedicate 2 of 5 workdays to their subspecialty with the remaining 3 days performing general work including fluoroscopic examinations, plain films, and general ultrasound, while neuro radiologists will dedicate 1 of 5 days to their subspecialty unless additional coverage is needed. Each radiologist must meet a productivity target of 34 weighted RVUs per day, with Body and MSK radiologists generating approximately 50% of their RVUs from subspecialty work.
The Q&A further clarifies that the government will consider a general radiologist focused on plain films and chest CT lung cancer screening exams if the candidate can meet the productivity targets, noting the VA has AI software to assist with nodule detection and desires to maintain these exams in-house. The government confirmed this is a new requirement with no incumbent contractor. The contract encompasses a five-year period of performance from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031, consisting of a base year and four one-year option periods, with services performed onsite at Orlando VAHS, 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando, Florida, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM with no off-hours coverage or on-call duties required.

Vendor Questions and Answers:
Q.1 What percentage of the day/work will be general radiology?
A.1 For body and MSK radiologists, 2/5 days will be in their sub-specialty. The other 3/5 days they will be doing general work to include fluoroscopic examinations, plain films, and general ultrasound. For neuro radiologists, 1/5 days will be in their sub-specialty unless there are other neuro radiologists on leave.
Q.2 What percentage of the day/work will be dedicated to the sub-specialty, such as Neuro, Body, and MSK Radiology?
A.2 See response to question #1.
Q.3 Will they consider specifically a general radiologist to read the plain films (Gen Rad)?
A.3 It would be difficult to reach the new productivity target by just reading plain films. They would need to read about 175 or so plain films to get to that target. If a general radiologist is also willing to read chest CT, specifically lung cancer screening exams along with plain films, then yes, would consider that. We do have a desire to keep those exams in house and would consider a radiologist in this capacity. Of note, we also have AI software to assist with nodule detection.
Q.4 Of the 34 wRVUs required per day, how many of those wRVUs are generated from work outside their sub-specialty (on average)?
A.4 It depends on sub-specialty. Because there is more opportunity for a body or MSK radiologist to read in their sub-specialty (which are higher RVU producing) they will generate approximately 50% of their wRVUs from their sub-specialty. The neuro radiologists will have less ability to generate their wRVUs from their sub-specialty examinations.
Q.5 Is this considered a new requirement, or is there an incumbent contractor currently performing these services?
A.5 This is a new requirement.
Q.6 If applicable, are you able to share the incumbent contractor name and contract vehicle?
A.6 N/A
