7. Business Associate Agreement (BAA): The solicitation requires offerors to "complete and sign the Business Associate Agreement" and submit it with the quote, but a BAA template does not appear to be included in the posted solicitation package. Would the

Contracting Office please provide the required BAA template, or confirm the form the Government expects offerors to use?

-BAA Sample Template attached.

8. Insurance Requirements – State of Jurisdiction: The Statement of Work states that

Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, and General Liability Insurance shall be provided "in accordance with the laws of the State of California," while all listed places of performance are located in Arizona. Could the Government clarify whether insurance shall be carried in accordance with California or Arizona requirements, or both?

-An updated SOW is attached to reflect the change from California to Arizona.

9. STAT Run Pricing (CLIN 92): Attachment A reflects a single STAT CLIN with an estimated annual quantity of 1 and estimated mileage of 1, while the SOW requires

STAT courier services to be available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Could the Government clarify how offerors are expected to reflect the cost of maintaining 24/7/365 on-call STAT capacity within a single per-mile CLIN, and whether any additional line item (e.g., standby or availability fee) is permitted?

- Offerors are encouraged to incorporate the costs of maintaining on-call readiness, including any standby or availability expenses, into their per-mile pricing for the STAT

CLIN. At this time, no separate line item—such as a standby or availability fee—will be established for this requirement. All anticipated costs related to availability and service readiness should be reflected within the per-mile price proposed for the STAT CLIN.

10. Estimated Mileage Basis: For the mileage figures in Column F of Attachment A (tabs 1–

5), can the Government confirm whether the listed "Estimated Mileage" represents a one-way or round-trip distance for each run, for the purpose of calculating

Extended Price using the Unit Price Per Mile?

-It represents either one-way or round-trip depending on the CLIN(RUN). Example CLIN

1 shows a round trip while CLIN 7 is one-way.
