ATTACHMENT 6 – QA 1 RFQ 75H71325Q00002
QUESTION 1: Will the positions be subject to Wage Determination (WD), or will we have the flexibility to propose candidates outside the scope of WD, provided we offer full benefits and salaries exceeding WD requirements? Additionally, if the government opts to classify these positions under WD, which specific labor category under the WD is being recommended?
ANSWER 1: The SCA conformance process is a method by which a contractor may propose job titles and wage rates to legally employ workers engaged in work on a contract in occupations that are not listed in the applicable SCA wage determination. The contractor must forward the conformance request to the contracting agency no later than 30 days after employment of workers has begun in the occupation to be conformed.

QUESTION 2: In reference to [Performance Work Statement] Section 1.3.3, to clarify, both the prime and any subcontractors must have medical liability insurance for protection against malpractice. Is professional liability insurance that demonstrates the intended contract positions are included, sufficient to meet the liability requirements?
ANSWER 2: Yes, the prime contractor is responsible to provide evidence of and maintain insurance in accordance with paragraph (a) of Clause 52.237-7. The Contractor shall maintain during the term of this contract liability insurance issued by a responsible insurance carrier of not less than the following amount(s) per specialty per occurrence: $1,000,000.
