Continuation Pages Question: The question at hand is to determine why the WSNC bid has the VISN 19 facilities listed that were just awarded to RAS?

Answer: Attachment A has been amended, VISN 19 has been removed.

Question: EMERGENCY DELIVERY FEE: We did not see provisions for an EMERGENCY DELIVERY FEE, when a Facility needs service outside of the SOW Parameters? Recommend adding a CLIN for this with either a quantity of (1), or an estimated annual quantity.

Answer: An emergency delivery would be solicited separately by the Network Contracting Office.

Question: NO BID+ LOCATIONS: How should a vendor list a “no-bid” a particular location & does this disqualify a vendor from that VISN if they are able to service all locations in other VISNs (to be deemed a responsible vendor?

Answer: If a vendor cannot provide all the Medical Cylinder Gases required by a Network listed in Attachment A, they will not be awarded a BPA for that Network.

Question: SOW WSNC BPA VICE FACILITY SOW: Can the individual facilities change the SOW from the awarded WSNC BPA without changing he BPA Pricing?

Answer: This would require a BPA Modification signed by both the contractor(s) and the contracting officer.
