9. On page 8 of the RFP it states “An offer using a sliding price scale or subject to escalation based on a contingency will be evaluated as noncompliant.” Can you please provide an example of this as we are unfamiliar with this term? Does this meant that we are unable to escalate our prices? Will we be penalized if we keep the same price for the base and option years?

10. Why is this position not being procured through the CLASS contract?

Answer: An addendum to the requirement was not accepted; therefore, it is being procured locally.

11. SF1449, Box 10 Shows NAICS of "622110" Please review/advise as the SF 1449 - Continuation Sheet and Performance Work Statement call for an individual, RN Discharge Planner on a personal services basis. We believe that NAICS 621399, Office of all other Miscellaneous Health Practitioners is a better match.

Answer: Service will take place in a large hospital; therefore, NAICS code 622110 will remain unchanged and is most appropriate for this requirement.
