IDDocumentPage NumberSection TitleParagraph NumberQuoter's QuestionsGovernment Response
PM.01RFQScope of WorkAs we read through the recent MSPV 2.0 Supplier Solicitations that were recently put forth we were confused and have one overwhelming question relative to the "Statement of Work" section regarding "Scope"? The text reads as follows: “Quotors may propose supplies from their respective catalogs they wish to provide to the government that fit within the scope of the respective product category, excluding supplies already covered under the AbilityOne Procurement List.” “Covered medical/surgical supplies eligible for order under MSPV 2.0 are defined as medical, surgical, dental, and laboratory supplies excluding supplies already covered under the AbilityOne Procurement List.” Our question is; as an AbilityOne agency with two BOAs, should we respond to the relevant solicitations or does this language eliminate the need for us to respond? Additionally, If this is not the correct means of posing the question I would respectfully request your guidance on how to get the answer.Yes, AbilityOne vendors may bid non-Procurement List items. VHA will not consider items currently awarded on the AbilityOne Procurement List. VHA is in collaboration with the AbilityOne Commission, VA Office of General Counsel and the VA Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization to analyze the market to develop a strategy to apply rule of two. AbilityOne vendors are welcome to propose items not currently on the Procurement List that are believed to be within scope of any category.
PM.02Quote SheetWhile reviewing the excel spreadsheet "Patient Mobility, Transportation, Transfer Equipment, and Aids (PM) Historical Data", a Medline hoist product is listed on the historical spreadsheet;Clinical Integrated Product Teams (IPT) reserves the right to determine item alignment to Product Category.
PM.03Quote SheetCan I submit an alternative ‘me too’ product for consideration? (We have one which also lifts 400lbs - https://www.winncare.com/fiche-produits-moving_and_handling-hoist_winn_motion_175-8-441-int.htm )Yes.
PM.04Quote SheetWhat unit price did Medline sell this in at under a BPA in 2018? - is this data available?Not during this RFQ process.
PM.05Quote SheetCan I submit products for consideration where there is no historical ‘me too’ product that is innovative within the product category? i.e. Camel for use in smaller spaces than a traditional hoist? ELK for EMS category etc.? https://mangarhealth.com/us/store/product/safe-patient-lifting/camel-lifting-cushion/Yes.
PM.06RFQOn the Solicitation document it’s stated that “the use of hyperlinks in quotes is prohibited”, however, on Attachment B in column S, it’s asking for a link to the product literature?Please provide a hyperlink for a product literature. We will not be accepting paper copies or PDF of product literature.
PM.07Quote SheetWe are working on the Attachment B and unfortunately we are unable to follow the steps of copying and pasting and then providing our cross because we cannot edit this file. It says we will need a password and do not have access to edit. Can you please assist with this issue?The file has built in macro validations that will alert and assist the user when they incorrectly enter data. This will minimize the need to have quotes resubmitted with corrections. The Quote Sheet is password protected to ensure these validation measures are not accidently corrupted. This will not prevent the user from filling out all fields required.
PM.08Quote SheetIf we are providing an alternate cross for a Non-Medline item, where do we have to add this information as Attachment B only gives us the option of entering the data for items already found on Tab 2 (Historical Data).There is no other columns provided where we can provide the information for the alternate option. Column E is only for OEM found on Tab 2 (exact match but not for alternate option) and it is the same on all the other files.Historical sales data is provided for reference purposes and should not be considered an exact amount. All supplies quoted will be evaluated. Quotors are welcome to submit all supplies that fall in the scope of the RFQ's category description (see Attachment B, Historical data tab) that they are authorized to sell by the OEM, excluding supplies already covered under the AbilityOne Procurement List. Each item, should be entered as a new row on the Quoted Sheet tab in Attachment B. All quoted items require an letter of authorization from the OEM.
PM.09Quote SheetOn Attachment B for solicitation number 36C24C19Q0034 - Syringes and Needles - When we populate the exact match item numbers into the SN Proposed Supplies tab, anything populated from the SN Historical Data tab below row 15 automatically defaults to a “No” response, even though the OEM number is an exact match.The error on the Syringes and Needles Quote Sheet has been corrected in the latest version of the Syringes and Needles Attachment B posted as an amendment.
