Attachment A - Q&A Template

This document is a Q&A Template attachment related to an All-Payer Claims Database Data Statement of Need issued by the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) in Georgia. The template consists of a structured format with 22 numbered question entries, each designated "FOR GTA COMPLETION," along with corresponding fields for SON Reference Section and GTA Response information. The attachment serves as a framework for documenting questions and answers that arise during the solicitation process, though the specific questions and responses are not populated in this template version. The underlying solicitation (RFQC 98000-000000-3969, later renumbered as Bid 5863) was publicly posted to the Georgia Procurement Registry and resulted in the selection of qualified contractors through a formal evaluation process.

The Statement of Need represents an informal bid solicitation available exclusively to suppliers previously awarded Master Agreements through the initial Request for Qualified Contractors process. GTA followed its established procurement processes and policies as outlined in the GTA Procurement Manual, accepting questions from interested parties, posting answers publicly, and evaluating responses according to specified criteria. Qualified contractors whose responses fell within the identified scoring range successfully completed contract negotiations and were awarded GTA Master Agreements, positioning them as eligible bidders for this particular data statement of need.
