About this file

This document is an amendment to a solicitation (Standard Form 30) with accompanying questions and answers for a Pharmacy Courier Service contract. The solicitation, numbered 36C26025Q0661, is issued by the Network Contracting Office 20 at the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, seeking a courier service to transport pharmacy items. Key details from the Q&A reveal that the contractor will transport approximately 15 IV bags daily, requiring about 4 cubic feet of storage space, likely packed in coolers that can fit in a small car trunk. The previous contract (36C26021F0045) was awarded to Stat Courier Service, Inc for $932,839.70. Notably, the VA will provide transport vessels, and drivers will not need flash badges, instead using their own credentials and knocking for access during pickup and delivery.

The next page of this amendment lists the answers to the question received regarding this solicitation.

The questions are in black, while the answers are in red.

CONTINUATION PAGE

Question 1: Section D.1 Statement of Work > Section 1 indicates vendor will provide all equipment. In our experience in Pharmacy transport with the VA, transport vessels are typically provided by the VA and sealed with a tamper proof seal by VA personnel.

Will this be the case for this contract, or will the vendor need to provide transport totes and seals for VA use?

Answer: VA to provide

Question 2: Section D.1 Statement of Work > Section 2 Schedule and Delivery Instructions.

This section only appears to include details for CLIN 1.

Is it safe to assume that the CLIN descriptions in CLINS 2-10 are accurate for what is to be completed and simply missing from this section?

Answer: CLIN descriptions are accurate for what is to be completed.

Question 3: Section D.1 Statement of Work > Section 4.3 Indicates drivers will need to get a flash badge from HR when on site at the main VA.

A. Where is the HR office located (floor #, suite #, etc.)?

B. Are there sufficient flash badges available for the number of drivers who will be reporting at 8AM for example (6), or would they need to wait until a driver has completed their pickups and returns it to HR before they can obtain it for their own access to pickup locations?

Answer: Flash badges not needed. Drivers will need to bring their own credentials and knock on door for pickup and delivery.

Question 4: If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?

Answer: The previous contract (36C26021F0045) was awarded to Stat Courier service, Inc for a total of $932,839.70.

Question 5: How many cubic feet of storage are required for transportation, and what is the maximum size and quantity of items to be transported daily?

Answer: Max quantity estimated at 15 IV bags, size of container(s) about 4 cubic feet.

(Pharmacy will likely pack in a couple coolers which will easily fit in a small car trunk.)
