DESCRIPTION

This amendment 0001 to RFQ 36C26224Q1392 for Phoenix VA Healthcare Systems requirement uniforms for an Indefinite Quantity contract with base plus four option years shall provide answers to questions.

This is not an extension and responses are due on 8/15/2024 by 0900 PT local time.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

1. Initial Order Quantity:

0. The quantities listed in Attachment A (the Excel sheet) are estimates and are not guaranteed purchases. Could you please clarify if these estimated quantities apply only to the base year, or do they extend to the option years as well? If so, will the estimated quantities remain the same each year, or are adjustments expected?

Answer: The estimated minimum value for this contract will be based on dollar value of $175.00 and a maximum of $250,000.00 over each period of performance. The total estimated value base plus option years is $1,000,000.00.

1. Proof of SDVOSB Status:

1. What specific documentation is required to prove SDVOSB status? Is a screenshot from the SBA certification database sufficient, or is there a preferred format?

Answer: There is no preferred format. SDVOSB vendors must be registered in VetCert at https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/ at the time offers are received.

1. Authorization Letter from OEM:

2. Is there a specific format or template required for the authorization letter from the OEM?

2. Should the authorization letter be addressed to the VA Phoenix Healthcare System, or is a general authorization letter acceptable?

Answer: The authorization letter should be a business letter signed by the OEM with contact information for verification. A general authorization letter is acceptable.

1. Bid Submission Form:

3. Is there a specific bid or submission form that we need to use for this solicitation, or can we use our own format as long as all required information is included? Alternatively, should we use Standard Form 1442 for the submission?

Answer: There is no specific form required but all line-item prices must be provided and a total cost for base plus option years must be provided as well. The SF1449 was not used in this solicitation. The combined synopsis has provisions attached that must be filled out by the offeror. Those responses must be marked and signed as applicable at the time of submission.

1. Just wanted to clarify that this solicitation was purely for procurement of uniforms where the Phoenix VA Healthcare system will own the uniforms outright and without any additional services attached. I kept receiving that question from my subs and told them with near certainty it was just the sale of uniforms but figured I would clarify with you.

Answer: This contract is for the procurement of uniforms and boots as required by Phoenix VA Healthcare System. All uniforms ordered that require any embroidery service will be procured at the time of the uniform order.
