Trevor Hood Contracting Officer

Question 1: (Pg. 4, 3E) To quote a fixed annual cost per case cart, we must have either an inventory list or the number of case carts that need to be included in the quote. Can the government provide?

Answer 1: Yes. Obtaining list. An inventory list will be provided in an additional amendment to solicitation.

Question 2: (Pg. 4, 3E) If the government cannot provide a case cart inventory or number of case carts, would the expectation be that they would be repaired under a separate purchase order at time and materials cost?

Answer 2: See Answer to #1.

Question 3: (Pg. 4, 3E) What is the expectation for the number of service days for case carts?

Answer 3: 3 days in total per month. 2 Consecutive Days and 1 “Floating” Day – 36 days per year.

Question 4: (Pg. 4, 3E) Is the expectation that mail in extensive repair and or device repair would be quoted for approval and billed on a separate purchase order?

Answer 4: No. This would be covered under contract.

Question 5: (Pg. 4, 3E) Can the government provide a tray count and the number of trays to be serviced at each visit?

Answer 5: Yes. Obtaining list. An inventory list will be provided in an additional amendment to

Question 6: (Pg. 4, 3G) For clarif ication of the service days, is it the expectation that 2 days of each month are back to back service days, with the third day filling in as needed, so it is a possibility all service could be provided within 2 calendar weeks each month?

Answer 6: Need clarif ication on this question.

Question 7: (Pg. 7, 7A) Is the expectation for emergency service to respond within 24 hours or to pick up and return repaired instruments within 24 hours?

Answer 7: Response and return within 24 hours.

Question 8: (Pg. 9, B2) Is it the government’s expectation for a flat day rate, time and materials cost, or both?

Answer 8: It would be a combination of both. For instance, if something is unable to be repaired onsite or will take longer, we would need a T&M Cost. Flat rates can be applied to items that need to shipped out for repair as well.

Question 9: (Pg. 17, C.8) As the SDVOSB, we have a subcontract/partner agreement with a company fully capable of performing the services in the PWS. As the SDVOSB, we will ramp up our resources within the next 12 months to perform 50% of the services. Regarding VAAR 852.219-77, limitations on subcontracting, for this solicitation can the government waive the 50% SDVOSB services requirement during the first year?

Answer 9: No, the Government cannot waive the requirement of 852.219-77.
