Vendor Question 1:

Is this a new requirement, or is there an incumbent contractor? If existing, can you provide me the contractor and award amount?

Response to Question 1:

Current Contract number is VA261-18-D-0002

Vendor Question 2:

Does the medical treatment facility require remote monitoring by a Licensed Physician (Neurologists)?

Response to Question 2:

No, remote NM by a Neurologist is not required.

Vendor Question 3:

On page 15 of 89, 2.1.10.3, the requirement indicates that the -"Contracted IONM Technicians shall provide a copy of current DEA certificate to the COR/CO, if required. IONM technicians are considered the onsite operating room staff. The onsite staff performing the IONM services will not have a DEA certificate. Neurologist (physicians) are the only staff that will have DEA certificates, which they provide the remote monitoring during all LIVE surgical procedures.

Response to Question 3:

DEA certs are usually given to physicians. No, not required.

Vendor Question 4:

Price/Cost Schedule: For the Unit, what does LT mean?

Response to Question 4:

“LT” means LOT. This Unit price/Amount is derived from the attachment labeled “Price list”. Each Ordering Period has CPT Codes, Description and estimated quantities.

30 minutes is the preferred time for an emergent case, not 2 hours.
