The purpose of this amendment is to provide questions and answers that were asked during the solicitation.

1. Is there a Government estimate, competitive price range, or historical annual contract value available for this requirement?

That information is not available.

2. Is there a current incumbent contractor for these services? If so, could you please provide the incumbent contractor name and the current/previous contract or award number, if releasable?

That information is not available and must be obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

3. Please confirm whether the prime contractor may perform the requirement using a qualified subcontractor for some or all of the shredding services, subject to all solicitation terms and applicable subcontracting requirements.

Yes.

4. Would the Government consider an alternate staffing/performance approach in which a full-time employee (FTE) is stationed onsite at the main Fresno VA Medical Center to support the shredding requirement, while the remaining locations are serviced in accordance with the solicitation schedule? If that approach is not currently permitted by the SOW, would the Government consider modifying the SOW to allow it?

No

5. For Factor 2 – Past Performance, if the prime offeror will perform the requirement using an experienced first-tier shredding subcontractor, may the offeror submit relevant past-performance questionnaires/references for the proposed subcontractor whose personnel, equipment and facilities will perform the document destruction services?

No, the past performance has to be from the offeror as the prime.
