This is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) submission template for offerors responding to the HRSA/MCHB Newborn Screening Systematic Evidence Review IDIQ and Task Order 1 solicitation (75R60226R00026). The template provides standardized instructions for submitting clarifying questions about the solicitation documents prior to proposal submission. Offerors must submit one question per row without combining multiple distinct questions into a single cell, categorize each question using a dropdown menu in the Topic Category column (Column E), and maintain the existing column structures and headers without modification. The completed Excel file must be emailed to EVanAbsher@hrsa.gov and SHorton@hrsa.gov by September 9, 2026, at 3:00 PM EDT. The template includes placeholder columns for Question Number, Document/Attachment reference, Section/Paragraph identification, Page Number, Topic Category, and the Offeror Question field itself, with row numbers accommodating up to 40 questions. This template is designed to facilitate organized receipt and tracking of questions from potential contractors regarding the solicitation requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission procedures for what is a full and open competitive Multiple-Award IDIQ pool (three to five awards) with an aggregate collective ceiling value of $15,111,361.00 over a five-year period.
