Mike Crader Contracting Officer

Solicitation # 36C25522R0100 Questions and Corresponding Answers

1. NAICS code 621610. Since this is a Home Oxygen Contract where the contractor owns the equipment and rents to the VA, the appropriate NAICS code is 532283 (Home Medical Equipment Rental with a size definition of $36M). NAICS code 621610 (Home Health Care Services, with a size definition of $16.5M) is used when the VA owns the equipment and the contractor simply provides the servicing of the equipment and patients. Consider revising the NAICS code to 532283.

Answer: When the contracting officer was conducting market research, he consulted with the office Small Business Liaison concerning which NAICS code to use; 532283 or 621610. After discussion and additional higher-level reviews to include legal counsel, it was determined that NAICS code 621610 is the appropriate NAICS code to use for this procurement.

2. Excel Pricing Schedule. I see there is a column for our unit prices, however, I don’t see a column for the totals. Please provide an additional column for our totals.

Answer: I Agree. Makes sense to have a column for totals. See attached updated spreadsheet dated 10/24/2022.
