Evidence Based Practice [EBP] Platform VENDOR QUESTIONS and GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Q01: On page 4 of the Solicitation document under Section B.1 Contract Administration, item 3. Invoices, it says Invoices shall be submitted in arrears: and then option "c. other" has been selected with the note "Monthly Upon Acceptance of Deliverables".

I just wanted to confirm that the contract is annual, and that the entire annual contract will be invoiced with a single invoice on the delivery date, with net 30 terms.

A01: Section B.1, Contract Administration Data, Item 3, Invoices, Shall be updated to reflect “Annually – Upon Acceptance of Deliverables." Additionally, while the net 30 term is not explicitly mentioned in the solicitation, it is generally understood that once a contract is awarded and a purchase order is issued for the service or supply, the terms are typically net 30.

Q02: I was reviewing the Solicitation released for (36C77625Q0105) DA10--Evidence Based Practice [EBP] Research Tool [VA-25-00010231] on June 23, 2025. I was hoping you might be able to inform me if this is a new effort or if there was a previous contractor that performed these requirements? If the latter, would you be able to inform me of the Contract # used for these services?

A02: This is not a new requirement; a contractor has previously performed these services under prior contract ID: 36C77623P0130.

Q03: On the PWS, under “Deliverable or Requirement” it reads “Product will be deployed to the Office of Nursing Services, several VA Hospitals, and several DOD medical centers.” but this is for a full VA rollout (including ONS), and will not include DOD medical centers. I’m guessing this one could be because something was copied from what was supposed to have been the renewal, but it should be updated to reflect the accurate deliverable.

A03: The PWS has been updated and no longer includes DOD medical centers under QASP table “Deliverable or Requirement” column. Please refer to Attachment 01, the revised PWS.

Q04: Would you mind sharing the number of FTEs?

A04: The RFQ does not specify a required number of Full-Time Equivalents [FTEs]. Offerors are responsible for proposing the appropriate level of staffing they believe is appropriate to meet the performance requirements outlined in the solicitation.
