X X X The purpose of this amendment is to increase the contract ceiling for SFVAMC based on the changes to quantities made in Amendment 2.

The contract ceiling is raised for SFVAMC up from $25M to $40M. I have included an explanation about what a contract ceiling means to limit confusion on this matter.

Please be sure to acknoweldge this and all other amendments with proposal submission.

Amanda J. Simmons Contracting Officer

EXPLANATION CONTRACT CEILING

Please NOTE: A contract ceiling means that through the term of the contract, the amount expended cannot exceed the contract ceiling. This solicitation is for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. That means the VA cannot estimate with any degree of certainty what it’s exact needs will be over the next five years for these temporary medical staffing categories. The VA’s estimate about its needs is reflected in the solicitation Attachment C Price Workbook. The contract ceiling has no bearing on the unit prices. The ceiling represents the VA’s estimate plus some percentage to allow for additional quantities, so that the VA does not become unnecessarily limited by the ceiling if the estimates are low or if the needs increase. You should not be doing a reverse calculation starting at the ceiling and then using that to determine unit prices. Doing so would result in extremely high unit prices.

PRICE SCHEDULE SAN FRANCISCO VA MEDICAL CENTER

The guaranteed minimum award amount for this contract is $2,000. The maximum aggregate value of orders (contract ceiling) that can be placed under this contract is $40,000,000. The Government does not guarantee that it will place any orders under this contract in excess of the guaranteed minimum award amount.
