1. Regarding frame samples, please confirm if the number "10" in the following statement is accurate: "Minimum of 10 different color choices for unisex metal frames (each unisex metal frame does not need to be offered in three colors; out of the total of 3 unisex metal frames, there must be at least three frames that are different colors)." The unisex metal frames requirement is different than the men's and women's, making it prudent to seek clarification. (Reference page 58-60).

Answer: Minimum of 10 different color choices for unisex metal frames (each unisex metal frame does not need to be offered in three colors; out of the total of 3 unisex metal frames, there must be at least three frames that are different colors)." Has been deleted and replaced with:

Minimum of 3 different color choices for unisex metal frames (each unisex metal frame does not need to be offered in three colors; out of the total of 5 unisex metal frames, there must be at least three frames that are different colors.

1. Please clarify the following statement in Answer 21 of the Q and A: "Ophthalmic lenses shall heat strengthening in addition to chemical strengthening (glass) for impact resistance". The FDA allows for heat OR chemical strengthening. Will VA change the statement to read that either heat OR chemical strengthening is allowed, as that is congruent with the FDA and customary commercial practice?

Answer: “: Performance Work Statement (PWS) paragraph 3.1 is DELETED in its entirety and is replaced with the following paragraph:

3.1 Contractor shall fabricate and provide all lenses in accordance with the standards set forth in the current edition of “American National Standards for Ophthalmic Lenses Recommendation” ANSI Z 80.l which is incorporated herein by reference. All ophthalmic lenses shall be in accordance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulation Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, 801.410 *(21CFR 801.410) which is incorporated herein by reference, for impact resistance, unless otherwise specified in the order. Ophthalmic lenses shall be heat strengthening or chemical strengthening (glass) for impact resistance and corrected curved lenses. Ophthalmic lenses with cylinder power of less than l.5D may be fabricated in minus cylinder form. Scratch resistant coating shall be available for plastic lenses. Tints for all types of lenses, including Photochromic (PGX) and progressives. Polarized and transitional lenses shall be made available in gray and brown. All lenses shall include U.V. tint/coat at no additional charge”.

1. Please clarify the purpose of the two price schedule documents. It may be in the best interest of all parties to use only the price worksheet.

Answer: Both documents, the Price Schedule and the Price Worksheet, must be completed and submitted with proposals. Failure to complete either document may result in a proposal being rejected and removed from consideration for contract award. The Price Worksheet is a required proposal submittal that will be used to evaluate proposals and will not be retained in the executed contract. The Price Schedule provides the awarded contract pricing for each contract line item and will be part of the executed contract. The unit prices offered for each contract line item MUST MATCH EXACTLY in both the Price Schedule and the Price Worksheet; failure to do so may result in the proposal being rejected and removed from consideration for contract award.

Proposals are due: June 22, 2020, 12:00 PM PDT.
