1. The solicitation is amended as follows:

a. Section B.2 Schedule of Services and price is amended to change the period of performance of the contract from “January1, 2024 through December 31, 2028” to March 1, 2024 through February 28, 2029. See attached UPDATED section B.2 Schedule of Services.

b. Paragraph 7.2.2. is amended to delete the sentence “The clinical supervisors shall be available for 24-hour supervision of case management personnel for the purposes of clinical oversight, documentation, and crisis management.”

2. The following are answers to questions received in response to the solicitation:

Q1. Which buildings on campus does this procurement cover?

A1. This procurement is for all PBV sites on VAGLAHS north campus including those open now and those projected to open through the end date of the contract. See attached section D.5 Listing of EUL PBV Sites.

Q2. What is the anticipated timeline for staff to be cleared for VA security/background clearance and/or VetPro clearance so they can begin working on the contract.?

A2. 60 days

Q3. Is there a possibility that the Estimated Monthly number of veterans being serviced could be lower than the 500 or 1000 listed?

A3. Reference section D.3, Price worksheet. All quantities listed are estimated and are subject to change. Task orders issued against the Awardee’s IDIQ contract may be issued in an amount more or an amount less than the estimated quantities shown in the price worksheet (500). Awarded contractors will not be required to bid on all available vouchers during the task order competition.

Q4. Reference paragraph 7.2.1. of the SOW: “Program Manager: This is a mandatory and a part-time position.” - Is the government mandating this to be a part time position?

A4. No. The program manager is a required position but it’s up to the contractor to determine if the position is full-time or part-time (minimum 20 hours per week).

Q5. Reference paragraph 7.2.2. “Clinical Supervisors /Team Supervisors: This is a mandatory position. The Contractor shall have full-time clinical supervisors assigned to this contract. The clinical supervisors shall be Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) or Licensed Mental Health Counselor. The clinical supervisors shall be available for 24-hour supervision of case management personnel for the purposes of clinical oversight, documentation, and crisis management.” - Please clarify this, as having 24-hour supervision of staff seems excessive.

A5. Per amendment stated above, the sentence “The clinical supervisors shall be available for 24-hour supervision of case management personnel for the purposes of clinical oversight, documentation, and crisis management” has been deleted.

Q6. Is this a new requirement? If not, who's the current vendors and the contract numbers.

A6. There are four (4) existing EUL PBV sites on contract now. Information regarding these contracts is provided below. The Government anticipates paying approximately $700.00 Per Veteran Per Month for this procurement.

Q7. Are we required to have an office for this contract?

A7. Contractor staff providing case management and supportive services under the contract will be provided office space at each EUL PBV site from which the contractor’s staff shall work. It is not a requirement that the Contractor have a local office for organizational staff not performing direct services under the contract (e.g. billing, recruiters).

Q8. Will the VA provide orientation/training to contract staff?

A8. Yes. Contractors may participate in CERS New Employee Orientation and HUD-VASH Orientation.

Q9. How many awardees is the VA anticipating?

A9. The Government anticipates making 3 awards but may make more or less if it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.
