Government Responses to Technical Questions Solicitation Number: 36C26318Q0455 Description: Lab Courier Services – Sioux Falls VA Health Care System

Stat Courier Service, Inc.

Estimated Total for Option Year II is $165,955

Please refer back to “Vendor Vehicles” section of Section B.3 (Statement of Work), which list vehicle requirements and prohibitions. Any vehicles not prohibited or not having required equipment can be presumed to be accepted

Per Section B.3 (Statement of Work) under Additional Courier Requirements, page 17, it is stated that Contracting Officer Representative will provide Vendor with 24-hour advanced notice.

Yes, signed SF 1449 and signed SF 30 solicitation amendments need to be included as part of single document, but they are not considered part of page limits, which was changed to 30 pages in Solicitation Amendment 00001.

Any offeror awarded a BPA will be required to provide wages and fringe benefits for Service Contract Act (SCA) that meet or exceed those listed on Solicitation Attachment 1 (USDOL Wage Determinations) and any subsequent revised USDOL Wage Determinations incorporated into BPA during period of performance.

Under 13 CFR 125.6 (a)(1), a contract for services cannot be subcontracted more than 50% to firms that are not similarly situated. “Similarly situated” in this solicitation means SDVOSB. SDVOSB awarded cannot subcontract more than 50% to non-SDVOSB. Under 13 CFR 125.6 (e)(3), it states “Work performed by an independent contractor shall be considered a subcontract, and may count toward meeting the applicable limitation on subcontracting where the independent contractor qualifies as a similarly situated entity”. This is inferred to mean that awarded SDVOSB can subcontract to SDVOSB without restrictions, but is limited to no more than 50% subcontracting to non-SDVOSB.

VA will provide

Total estimated value was $488,445 for base and two (2) option years.
