36C26018Q0301 – Questions and Answers

Q: My company is registered in SAM and is registered in VIP *BUT* I still do not have the final certification from VIP. May I still bid?

A: Yes. VIP will be checked up to time of award. So, if you have not received your final certification from VIP before the quotation due date but your certification is in the process, please submit a quote; your final certification may occur between the quotation due date and time of award.

Q: Is this just for one chief physicist? Some of the wording sounds like it may include more than one.

A: The requirement is for one Chief Therapeutic Medical Physicist.

Q: It also sounds like the contract also is to cover lodging and food for essentially 5 years. Are we reading this correctly?

A: Yes, you are reading this correctly. The travel, lodging and M&IE SLINs are included in case the candidate would need to travel to the Seattle area and does not intend to set up a permanent household. These costs will be evaluated so, if you have a candidate that resides in the area it may make more business sense to not included proposed prices for the travel, lodging and M&IE SLINs.
