A.2 QUESTION AND ANSWERS

Follow-On Question and Answers

1. LOSS OF USE CLINs: What is the GOV’s rationale to price LOU CLINs for all (5) Years?

ANSWER: This contract is firm fixed price.

2. INVENTORY CLIN: The AMEND revision of CLIN Para 8.8 states “the contractor shall work with the service yearly to conduct an audit for loss of use purposes.” Please confirm this is a SOW requirement. If so, please add a CLIN to fund this cost.

ANSWER: Please see revised LINs

3. LICENSING: Please clarify the substantial change to paragraph 11.3. To include the GOV’s answer to two questions stating, that licensing can be met through a subcontractor as supported by Case Law (see pasted below). Can the GOV please inform us what specific case law the GOV is referencing specific to distribution of Medical Grade Oxygen and Specialty Gases for Human (Veteran) Consumption? For clarity, the FDA Classifies Medical Gases as a Prescription Drug, hence where the Case Law the GOV is referring to (respectfully – if the GOV provided this answer this should be readily available?). We have seen the VA offer case law concerning Medical Waste (for disposal) as “Case Law,” yet Medical Waste is neither a prescription drug, nor ingested/consumed by Veterans? Please provide the case law, thank you.

ANSWER: The ability for the Government to consider the license of a subcontractor is consistent with GAO decisions on the topic. Advant-EDGE decision, id. (“there is nothing improper in an offeror’s meeting licensing requirements through a subcontractor.”). See Advant- EDGE Solutions, Inc., B-400367.2, November 12, 2008. In addition, the Office of Acquisition and Logistics in regard to the same subject determined that a state license from a subcontractor manufacturer will satisfy the licensing requirement.

LOSS OF USE PAYMENT TIMELINE: The AMEND 0001 revision of para 8.8 denotes that Cylinder Rentals will cease “30 days after the date of the audit?” What is the GOV’s rationale for “30 days” as the Awardee must continue to pay our subcontractor until a PO is issued, both approving, AND funding the LOU?

ANSWER: The Government has 30 days to locate lost cylinders. After the 30 days, the cylinder will be considered “lost” and the contractor may invoice the LOU. The contractor shall use the purchase order number and correct LIN on contract for the current period of performance.

Is the GOV committed (put in the contract) paying the vendor within 30 days of the audit

– yes or no please? This “pay in 30 days after the audit” verbiage “appears” viable, but yet we cannot physically invoice without a Purchase Order (PO), hence the language adopted by RPOC is viable and fair, as all stakeholders are incentivized to “get the loss of use done,” as we must replace the lost cylinders as expeditiously as possible to put the replaced cylinders back in our inventory (there is a lead time to replace them as well)

ANSWER: The government will pay for lost cylinders as expeditiously as possible.
