Contracting Office Address Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office 10 Cincinnati VA Medical Center 3200 Vine Street Cincinnati, OH 45220 Description This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 12.6, “Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items,” as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued.

This solicitation is issued as a request for quotations. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2022-04.

The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 513210, with a small business size standard of $47 million. The FSC/PSC is R431.

VISN 10 medical facilities require software licenses, software enhancements, maintenance, and support subscription services for 11 Veteran’s Administration VISN 10 medical centers located in OH, MI and IN.

The purpose of the Solicitation Amendment is to formally answer vendor questions received by the posted due date (1/19/2024) for RFQ 36C25024Q0233.

Questions and Answers:

1. Is the Department open to considering custom-built software solutions? If so, how should we approach request response like the quotations table requirement on page 21 of the RFP, which seems tailored for pre-existing software solutions?

· The solicitation is not tailored to any pre-existing software solutions, any “Labor Management” software would be acceptable to propose. So, yes, the VA will consider custom-built software solutions. To submit pricing, simply replace the words “Labor Management” with the specific name and complete the pricing as instructed.

2. Does the VA want each facility to have an on-site annual visit for training?

· Yes. Please see changes to the Statement of Work below for formal responses:

12. Other Pertinent Information or Special Considerations

a. The vendor will provide, upon request from the facility through the COR, a site visit. Each facility may request at least one visit every 3 years. The site visit or on-site consultation will consist of education to front line staff, managers, schedulers and program assistants, supervisors, and training and support to the facility application coordinator.

There are no other changes to this Solicitation at this time.
