Solicitation Number: 36C26219R0098 Amendment: 004

Question 1: When asked if the Government was cancelling CLIN 0001, the Government (amendment) stated, “That is correct.” However, an amendment was not posted for B.2 Schedule of Services removing CLIN 0001.

Answer 1 : See updated Schedule of Services including code. CLIN 001 is not deleted.

Question 2 If the Government is not cancelling CLIN 0001 but just removing the CPT Codes 88331 and 88332, it is further confusing when the amendment stated, “CPT 88302, 88303, 88304, 88305, 88306, 88307, 88308, and 88309 might be requested.” If the additional CPT codes “might be requested” for CLIN 0001 (block) each CPT Code has a different unit price/test; yet, the B.2 Schedule of Services was not amended to add those codes and specify which codes are for what quantities for CLIN 0001.

Request clarification of CLIN 0001 as referenced in Amendments 0002 and 0003.

Answer 2 : See updated Schedule of Services.
