a. Solicitation Questions with Answers

Question Answer 1 Please clarify the request in section

9.3 of the SOW. Is the VA asking the contractor to purchase a single sign on access to the Medispan website on behalf of the VA? If yes, is the contractor expected to absorb that cost, or would the contractor be allowed to bill the VA for the approximate $20,000 annual cost?

Section 9.3 has been removed from the SOW. Therefore, providing single-user access to Medispan is no longer a requirement of the contract.

2 Regarding section 9.3 of the SOW- If the contractor is supplying/populating the Medispan AWP price for each drug in the claims detail reports, would that preclude the need to purchase single sign on access to Medispan for the

VA?

The Government has other means of verifying the AWP information provided in the reports is true and accurate.

Therefore, Section 9.3 has been removed from the SOW.

b. See Attachment 11 – Price Worksheet (separate attachment)

c. Updated Provision E.6, 52.212-2
