Vendor Questions:

Vendor A:

1. Within Section B.3 Price/Cost Schedule; Item 0001 – (screenshot below); please clarify the types of tissues VANTHCS will be sending for consultation. Will any tissue samples be postmortem/cadaver specimens?

a. Item 0001 will not deal with postmortem/cadaver specimens. Line item 0004 necropsy samples would be the only postmortem specimens sent.

2. Will vendors be disqualified if there is a line item that cannot be offered or is “Not

Offered” an acceptable response?

a. Not disqualified, based on what is not offered by the vendor will be determined in the technical review.

3. For line item 0001 Tissue Biopsy Consultation with or without slide processing CPT:

88321, 88332, 88323, would it be possible to get a breakout of the volume by CPT? It lists 1800 volume, but is it 1800 for all 3 CPT codes?

a. 1800 would cover all 3 codes, but 88321 would be ~90% of the samples tested.
