About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document clarifying evaluation factors for a pre-solicitation notice for architectural and engineering (A/E) services related to correcting structural deficiencies and renovating Building 8 at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, Missouri (Project 657A4-26-123, Solicitation Number 36C25526R0163).
The document addresses three key inquiries regarding Professional Qualifications evaluation criteria. First, it clarifies that designer registration requirements align with FAR standards, allowing designers to be registered in any U.S. state or Washington D.C., rather than limiting registration to Missouri only. Second, it confirms that designers currently licensed in other jurisdictions and eligible for Missouri registration through reciprocity may submit SF 330s with the understanding that Missouri registration must be obtained prior to performing design services if selected. Third, it specifies that projects listed on individual resumes may include those in the design completion phase, even if construction is ongoing, provided they demonstrate relevant experience. This procurement is restricted to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) firms and is being procured under the Brooks Act in accordance with FAR Subpart 36. Selection will be based on demonstrated competence and qualifications as evaluated through submitted SF 330 forms by the VA Medical Center Evaluation Board. No contract award will result from this pre-solicitation announcement.

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this modification is to answer questions and to provide updated Evaluation Factor 1 (Professional Qualifications) Question 1:
In Evaluation Factors paragraph 1 Professional Qualifications that the designers of record have to be registered in the State of Missouri. We want to point out that this is not in keeping with the FAR Registration of Designers provision which allows that for Federal work designers need only be registered in 1 state of the union or Washington DC. We would like to ask that the requirement to be registered in Missouri be removed as this is a federal project.
Answer:
Please see revised Evaluation Factor 1b below.
Question 2:
Can the Government please confirm whether Designers of Record who are currently licensed in another U.S. jurisdiction and are eligible to obtain Missouri registration through comity/reciprocity satisfy this requirement at the time of SF330 submission, provided Missouri registration is obtained prior to performing design services if selected for award?
Answer:
Please see revised Evaluation Factor 1b below.
Question 3:
Can the Government please clarify whether the projects included on individual resumes under Evaluation Factor 1.c are required to have completed both design and construction, or whether projects that have completed the design phase (but may still be under construction) are acceptable, provided they demonstrate the individual's relevant experience?
Answer:
Please see revised Evaluation Factor 1c below.
