Amendment: 0001

South Texas (STX) Advance Life Support (ALS) Transportation Services

Questions

1. Can you tell me if these services are currently being performed by a contractor? If so, could you please provide the incumbents’ name as well as the contract number?

2. Sections 1.7.6 and 1.7.17 each identify the requirement for provisioning “wheelchair transport services” for transplant beneficiaries. The language is identical under two separate section numbers.

Stated as such:

"1.7.6. Transplant recipient hours of performance. Contractor shall provide wheelchair transport services for Veteran transplant beneficiaries as requested 24 hours a day, 365/366 days a year."

"1.7.17. Transplant recipient hours of performance. Contractor shall provide wheelchair transport services for Veteran transplant beneficiaries as requested 24 hours a day, 365/366 days a year.

"With these two sections in mind:

Are pricing CLINs missing in Section B.4 Price/Cost Schedule as it relates to “wheelchair transport services” for pricing consideration?

Could this be ‘leftover’ language from the previous inclusion of wheelchair transport services that are going to be separated in a different RFQ release to cover all wheelchair transport services?

Governments Response

1. This is a new requirement. This information can be found on Contracting Opportunities via https://sam.gov/content/opportunities also FPDS https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/index.php/en/ which happens to be available for use to all prospective vendors.

https://sam.gov/content/opportunities https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/index.php/en/

2. Pricing CLINs are not missing in Section B.4 Price/Cost Schedule. This requirement is for Advance Life Support Transportation Services. This requirement will not be for wheelchair transportation services.

Paragraph 1.7.6 and 1.7.17 identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) will now read as follows:

"1.7.6. Transport recipient hours of performance. Contractor shall provide transport services for Veteran transplant beneficiaries as requested 24 hours a day, 365/366 days a year."

"1.7.17. Transport recipient hours of performance. Contractor shall provide transport services for Veteran transplant beneficiaries as requested 24 hours a day, 365/366 days a year.

Wheelchair Transportation Services will be solicited under a different RFQ.
