Q&A
| Question Category | Question Source | Section Reference (ex: "C.1.a") | Question | Answer |
| Performance Objectives | Solicitation (RFP) | C.3.10 | PO #11 for Acquiring Previous Medical Records shows a 100% requirement for both requesting the ROIs from providers within 3 days and doing the follow-up with providers within 15 days. Under the FAR, performance requirements must be reasonable. These two services are completed thousands of times annually. A 100% standard does not allow for any reasonable defect or align with industry standards. Will the Government consider aligning to industry standards of the 98%? | The Government will allow the industry standard @ 98% |
| Service Contract Act | Solicitation (RFP) | Section L, Tab 4 | (10) requires identification of Service Contract Act labor categories, but Section I does not include FAR 52.222-41. Given the mix of exempt labor categories required for this contract, please confirm that this is not subject to SCA. | FAR clause 52.222-41 was erroneously left out of Section I. While there will likely be many labor categories that are exempt, there may be labor categories that are not exempt. Please identify any labor categories that you believe to be subject to Service Contract Labor Standards. |
| Certified Cost and Pricing Data | Solicitation (RFP) | Section L Tab 3, Section I | Section L, Tab 3 states that certified cost and pricing data is not requested and not required, but there are several clauses at Section I that imply otherwise.

| PWS Assumptions | Attachment J1 - Performance Work Statement (PWS) | C.3.13.1 | The PWS references to CLINs do not align to Section B of the RFP. The PWS mentions multiple CLINs (i.e., CLIN 1, CLIN 2, CLIN 3) and Section B only has one CLIN. Please clarify. | Section B CLINs represent the periods of performance, not the full CLIN structure of each period of performance. Please propose based on the PWS CLIN Structure. If proposing any travel, please propose travel costs as a separate CLIN. |
| PII Plan | Attachment J2 - IT Security & Privacy | L.10 | Tab 2 Section 2.5 states the offeror shall provide an effective PII Security Plan with their response.

| Operating Authority Documentation | Solicitation (RFP) | L.10 | Tab 3 Section 3.2 - Given the requirement to submit documentation of authority to operate, which can be as many as 50 states, will the Government exclude this from the page limitation? | This is no longer required as we have received an exemption to the ATO. |
