About this file
This document is an amendment to a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Cardiovascular Technology Staffing issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Network Contracting Office 22. The solicitation (36C26226Q0016) is a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (FFP IDIQ) contract set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBC), seeking qualified Cardiovascular Technologists for the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System. The five-year contract will have funded task orders awarded annually, with quotes due by January 8, 2026 at 12:00 Noon Mountain Time.
The amendment includes responses to seven vendor questions, clarifying critical procurement details. Key clarifications include: the government will only accept Cardiovascular-certified technologists (not other ARDMS certifications), 1099 independent contractors are not permitted, and personnel must be W-2 employees. The contracting officer, Bill Cook (william.cook2@va.gov), indicates that sufficient information about staffing levels, shift coverage, and period of performance is already contained in the original RFQ. The procurement follows SDVOSB subcontracting limitations, with each vendor making individual management decisions about recruitment and talent sourcing support.

DESCRIPTION
This amendment answers questions regarding the Request for Quote (RFQ). Questions with their respective answers are as follows:
1. Will the Government accept experience with other technologists certified by ARDMS, other than cardiovascular? Recruiting and retaining an ARDMS certified professional, whether Cardiovascular or other, requires the same level of expertise.
ANSWER: The government will not accept other technologists, who are not Cardiovascular.
2. Staffing Levels / Estimated Hours Can the Government provide the anticipated number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) or estimated hours per labor category for the period of performance?
ANSWER: Sufficient information is contained within the RFQ.
3. Shift Structure and Coverage Are services expected to include evening, night, weekend, on-call, or overtime coverage? If so, should these be priced separately or incorporated into the base hourly rates?
ANSWER: Sufficient information is contained within the RFQ.
4. Period of Performance Please confirm the anticipated base period and any option periods associated with this requirement.
ANSWER: Sufficient information is contained within the RFQ.
5. Credentialing and Onboarding Timeline What is the estimated timeframe for credentialing and onboarding once candidates are submitted and tentatively accepted?
ANSWER: The timeframe for credentialing and onboarding varies due to several factors. This cannot be answered due to this uncertainty.
6. Employment Structure Does the Government permit the use of 1099 independent contractors, or must all personnel be W-2 employees of the Prime Contractor?
ANSWER: 1099 employees are not appropriate for this procurement.
7. Subcontracting Parameters Please confirm whether subcontracting is permitted for recruitment and talent sourcing support, with the Prime Contractor retaining full management control, payroll authority, and performance responsibility in accordance with SDVOSB limitations on subcontracting.
ANSWER: This is a management decision for each vendor submitting a quote for this procurement.
