Attachment 4 – RFQ 36C24924Q0270 Questions and Answers

1. Question: Can the VA confirm the number of mains that are profile and the number of mains that are non-profile?

Answer: Nashville Campus and CBOC Totals:

Profiled: 32 (26 current machines + 6 future machines needed) Non-Profiled: 27 (3 of those machines to be Tower only) Anesthesia: 12

York Campus and CBOC Totals:

Profiled: 23 Non-Profiled: 16 (2 of those machines to be Tower only) Anesthesia: 3

2. Question: Is it acceptable to the VA for us to provide an all-inclusive unit price and total amount price for Each CLIN and not separate by subclin?

Answer: See the attached updated price cost schedule. No issue with providing cost of each item individually, sub-clin item must represent cost of quantity by months listed in CLIN. Below is an example:

CLINItem DescriptionQTYUnitUnit PriceAmount
CLIN 0001Nashville VA Campus ADC Lease12MO$X.XX$X.XX
Period of Performance (Mar 15, 2024
– Mar 14, 2025)
CLIN 0001AAWidget Z22EA$X.XX$X.XX
(Widget Z cost per item/ month $X.XX)

Period of Performance (Mar 15, 2024

– Mar 14, 2025) Add individual cost per item per month in description line.

Unit Price represents total quantity per month cost. Example: Widget Z multiplied by 22, equals Unit Price for 22 Widget Z’s per month.

Amount represents total cost for entirety of POP. Example: 22 Widget Z’s Unit Price multiplied by 12 equals Amount for 22 Widget Z’s for entirety of PoP.
