36C25024R0176 - Questions and Responses

1. I see that the maximum total value of the contract can't exceed $5,750,000.00, can you confirm if this is per state or is this per area. For example, if I submit for Indiana is that 5.75Mil for Indianapolis, In and another $5.7 mil for Fort Wayne or $5.75 mil total for the entire state?

Refer to page 77 regarding the breakdown of the geographic service area for proposal submission. Please note: the pricing schedule

2. Do you have a list of brands/ manufacturers for the equipment that's listed in 3.3.1 of the solicitation?

The VA makes every effort to utilize a wide span of available vendors. See question 5.

3. Do you have an actual map showing where majority of the veteran deliveries are located in Indiana? or the number of Veterans in each of those counties?

All estimates available have been previously provided with the PWS for this solicitation - VA facility per counties served. Each CLIN per VA facility provided an estimate of need per POP.

4. Based on previous years contract, can you provide an estimate of the number of deliveries/pickups per month in Indiana for maybe the previous year?

The estimated number of deliveries identified in the price schedule are in line with past and the projected number of deliveries. Please refer to the estimated amounts in the price schedule for this information.

5. Can you provide a list of brand/manufacturers for the equipment we will be delivering/servicing?

Invacare, Span America, Drive, Medline, Arjo, Pride Mobility, Golden, Raz, and shower /Tub Buddy.

6. Who is the incumbent? If there is an incumbent, could you please provide me with that the purchase order number and total value?

First Community Care LLC.; the Government is unable to provide PO#s and/or total values previously utilized with this prior contract.

7. If I submit a proposal for Indianapolis, IN do I also have to submit for Fort Wayne, IN or am I allowed to submit only for Indianapolis?

Refer to page 77 regarding the breakdown of the geographic service area for proposal submission. In addition, the price schedule is color coded indicating geographic service areas.

8. Based on the last contract, how many Emergencies after hour calls can we expect? I do see that 27 calls for ATP are expected however I don't see any Emergency calls estimates.

There is always a potential for an emergency call, but these have been very historically minimal.

9. Based on page 74 section b. It states that the proposal shall contain no identifying marks and nothing identifying the company name or any identifying product other than on the cover page. Does this statement also apply to our policies and procedures, introduction letter, surveys, etc.?

Please refer to 74, part 2, subsection a and b. If the information is submitted under technical section, please remove identifying marks or black out the name.
