1. For the SF-1449, does the vendor complete section 17a? Are we required to add any amendments?

a. Yes, the vendor must complete block 17a on the SF-1449. Block 17a should include company name, company address, telephone number, and DUNS. The vendor must also sign and email any amendments to the solicitation to Emily.Trinh@va.gov prior to the solicitation close date.

2. Is it acceptable to have our current customer complete the past performance survey?

a. Yes, vendors may request their current customers to complete the past performance survey.

Note that the evaluator must email the completed and signed past performance survey per the survey’s instructions by August 27, 2021 4:30PM PST. Reference 52.212-2 for additional information on past performance.

3. Is it acceptable to submit a signed SF-1449 and price schedule along with the Technical Quality

Control Plan and follow up with updated resumes and proof of up to date Certification of Employees as well as a Past Performance Survey?

a. Please submit a complete response to the RFQ in accordance with 52.212-1. The past performance survey must be emailed by the evaluator per the instructions on the survey.

4. Please advise on the estimate number of cases per year. The number of cases is helpful to calculating vendor costs for providing the hourly services. For example, if a vendor is doing 10 2-hour cases, that includes 10 set-ups, 10 procedures, 10 reporting, etc. If a vendor is doing 4 5-hour cases, there are fewer costs to the vendor. Having accurate information means the vendors might be able to calculate better pricing for the VA. Lacking adequate information means the vendors will have to assume worse-case scenarios and propose higher fees to protect themselves.

a. Due to the nature of the requirement, the Government cannot provide an exact number of cases per year. To assist vendors with their proposed pricing, please see the below estimate number of cases.
