| The Government is only interested in potential vendors who are active on the attached Approved Contract Vehicles list/ HHS Mandatory Vehicle Use List. However, none of the listed vehicles cover the full scope of performance requirements, nor do they cover work performed at a contractor site. Those that include relevant portions of the scope are structured in terms of labor rates (e.g., time and materials, fixed price level of effort, etc.) and would not apply to the prospective requirement for a firm fixed price managed service. Will the Government consider removing the requirement for vendors who are active on the Approved Contract Vehicles list and omit Q.1-3 in the Excel accordingly? |
| Response: |
| This is the same as Approved Contract Vehicle list/ HHS Mandatory Vehicle Use List. The list is no longer applicable. |

| OAMS is referring to Approved Contract Vehicles list/ HHS Mandatory Vehicle Use List. RFI has been updated. |
