Lisa Bailey Contracting Officer Questions Received from Vendors for the Week of 02.28.20 – 03.04.20

1. When does the current contract and/or extension end? The current contract is being extended to September 30, 2020 and the “Schedule of Services” of this solicitation is hereby amended. This is a new requirement independent of the current contract. Contractor shall have 120 days (per Amendment A00003) from date of contract award to commencement of the provision of medical care to local veterans. The dates originally stated in the solicitation’s Schedule of Services (e.g. April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021) are hereby replaced with “Effective 120 days after contract award for a period of one year.” Option Year date periods are also replaced. The revised Schedule of Services beginning on page 3 replaces the original in its entirety.

2. We did some research (see map in below email) and found this. Will the VA will find a proposal to be non-compliant with the current solicitation if it includes a new CBOC in Warsaw, IN?

a. Below is an image pulled off the govtrack.us website (https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/IN/2). It shows conclusively that Warsaw is not in District 2 but rather almost in its entirety in District 3. The pinkish area to the left is the 2nd District’s eastern most border that is adjacent to Warsaw. I actually called the representatives office and they agreed with my assessment. Base on this, the VA’s answer to question 12 of Amendment A00008 is not accurate (“Half of Warsaw exists in the 2nd and Congressional district and the other half exists in the 3rd Congressional district) . If the clinic must be located within District 2 then the City of Warsaw is not eligible for a CBOC pursuant to the current solicitation as stated in Amendment A00008. Please confirm that we are looking at this correctly and that the VA will find a proposal to be non-compliant with the current solicitation if it includes a new CBOC in Warsaw, IN.

Answer: Yes, the proposal will be non-compliant if the location is proposed outside of Warsaw’s District 2 area. As specified in Amendment A00008, District 2 consists of the following townships: Clay, Etna, Franklin, Harrison, Jefferson, Lake, Plain, Prairie, Scott, Seward, Turkey Creek, and Van Buren.
