Attachment 3: PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE IS SCHEDULED

PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

A pre-proposal conference will be held with prospective offerors at the National Institutes of HealthOffice of Purchasing and Contracts, CC, 6707 Democracy Blvd. Suite 106, Bethesda, MD 20892 on Tuesday, May 17th, 2016. The pre-proposal conference will be held for the purpose of providing information concerning the Government's requirements which may be helpful in the preparation of proposals and for answering any questions which you have regarding this solicitation.

The success of this type of conference depends largely on the lead-time available to the Government for research in connection with questions submitted by offerors.

Therefore, you are requested to mail written questions concerning any areas of uncertainty which, in your opinion, require clarification or correction, in sufficient time to be received on or before Monday, May 9th, 2016 at 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time at 6707 Democracy Blvd. Suite 106, Bethesda, MD 20892.

Your questions should be submitted to the contract specialist, Daytona Philpotts and the envelope should be marked, "Pre-proposal conference, RFP No. HHSN16-R-001621." A set of all questions and answers will be furnished simultaneously to all prospective offerors whether or not they are in attendance.

Because of space limitations, each prospective offeror shall be limited to a total of 2 representatives.

Attendance at the pre-proposal conference is recommended; however, attendance is not a prerequisite for proposal submission and will not be considered a factor in proposal evaluation.
