Solicitation # CRHC23-21 Outpatient Mid-Level/Cheyenne River Health Center

Question/Answers

1. Candidate information, to include: CV or Resume, current/up-to-date licenses & certifications as requested in the PWS, complete and sign Background clearance forms attached to this solicitation, immunization record showing meet the Mandatory Employee Health Records Requirements as spelled out in the PWS. We do understand the CV, licenses and certifications, DEA, etc...but the request for full completion of the Security forms beginning on page 32 thru pages 45 contain Personally Identification Information (PII) and candidates will not be willing to complete these during the proposal phase. However, they do understand if selected, they will be required for initiating the Security Clearance and will be happy to complete at that stage in the process. Please consider removing the completion of those forms by potential candidates at the proposal phase?

Requirement encouraged, with any uncompleted forms submitted within 5 days of awarded document.

2. Page 27 of the solicitation requests Past Performance Questionnaires. It is becoming increasingly difficult to have our existing clients complete these due to a number of factors: Liability, legal clearance required to complete, finding someone with the time to complete these forms at the clinical and/or CO/COR level, change in personnel that have no first-hand knowledge of work performed, etc...Will you consider a listing of our past performance clients with contract/Task Order #'s and contact name, phone and email if we cannot obtain the Past Performance Questionnaires?

Requirement stands as is. Encourage you to contact the names and phone numbers that you would have provided to request documents be submitted and include the list with your response.

3. Do we have to submit a Background/Security Clearance Requirements package for APPs currently credentialed at the CRHC? We have a robust group of APPs willing to help and some are already credentialed there.

Requirement encouraged, with any uncompleted forms submitted within 5 days of awarded document.
