QUESTION 5. Given that this is a small business 8(a) set-aside for administrative services, will the government consider reducing the number of FTEs for the relevancy rating to something less than 20?

RESPONSE 5. Based on the known staffing requirements at this time, the Government feels the “Relevant” definition of 20+ employees per contract is correct. Also, the evaluation criteria states: In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation.

QUESTION 6. Can the language specifically requiring clinical administrative support services be broadened to include other support activities as long as the key sub-elements of recruiting, retention, and management of a complex workforce are addressed?
