Charles Morin See attached document: Q_A.

I am hoping to find out if there is an incumbent contractor currently performing these services, if similar services have been performed in the past, or if this is a new requirement.

If this is a follow-on requirement, could you please provide the previous contract or task order number

This is a new requirement.

How are services going to be scheduled each month? Request is for a 0.2 FTE. Services are provided one day a week.

How far in advance is the surgery schedule developed? Depends on the provider. Providers can schedule surgeries as far in advance as they feel is appropriate for the patient. The final schedule for each day of surgery is set the day prior.

How many hours per month will plastic surgery services be required? Request is for a 0.2 FTE. Services are required one 8-hour day per week.

How many days per month is the surgeon expected to be on site? Request is for a 0.2 FTE. Services are required one day per week.

Is this a new requirement? If not, who is the incumbent contractors and what is the contract number? This is a new requirement.

When the surgeon is on site, how many surgeries are expected? Depends on the provider and what they feel is best for the patient’s needs.

How long is an average workday? 8 hours.

Can you provide the estimated number of procedures the surgeon is expected to perform per type listed in 4.4 Direct Patient Care? Depends on the provider and what they feel is best for the patient’s needs.

What is the estimated start date for this opportunity? Mid FY21.

Does the government require “Past Performance” with “references” for the submitted past performance, or does the government want both a past performance write that is separate from the company references? These items can be combined. Vendor can provide a past performance example with references information included. We essentially ask for Past Performance information from the Contractor and Technical Excellence information for the Provider. For the Provider, this falls under Technical Excellence , see page 77 of the RFP for these specific requirements. For the Contractor this this is located on page 79 under Past Performance. Further, you are not limited to this information. You may submit more if desired.

Is this a new requirement? This is a new contract requirement.

If incumbent vendor, what is the contract award#? N/A

If incumbent provider currently performing these services, would provider currently on contract have "first right of refusal" to new awardee vendor? N/A

What clinical support is available to the Plastic Surgeon? i.e. Nurse Practitioner, RN, Physician Assistant, etc...? Clinical Nursing support.

On page 23, section 2.1.2. of solicitation document, and again on page 37, it indicates ACLS will be required, however on page 76, it indicates only BLS is required upon proposal and every two years and on page 77 under Technical Excellence Factor 1 in subsection #5 requests BLS only. Please clarify if ACLS is required to be included? BLS only is fine. ACLS is not necessary.

Attachments D1 thru D6 are requested to be signed/completed but it's not clear if candidate(s) would need to include all of these or only D1: Rules of Behavior, D4 Immigration Certification and D6, Conflict of Interest? Please clarify which attachments should be included in the candidate packets signed/dated? (We do understand the Vendor is required to complete all of these attachments and include in the Administrative portion of the proposal.) Key Personnel will only sign Attachment D.1. Contractor will review and sign the others as needed.

Can you confirm the proposal due date please? Box 8 of the SF1449 states Nov 25 and page 74 of the SOL states Nov 27.
