| Can you please define what is meant by ‘commercial quality’ DVD? | "Commercial quality" means the quality you would expect if you were purchsing the DVD at a store. (i.e., no glitches, bugs, or latency issues) It should be a complete standalone version of the product. | ||
| Can you please give more information on how each individual question will be scored as the scoring information is not detailed - for example, are there some requirements that are essential and some that are desirable? | The Government is evaluating the offeror’s responses on two subfactors: accessibility and quality of content. Subfactor 1, Accessibility is essential and will be rated as acceptable/unacceptable. For quality of the content, the government will review a fixed number of clinical queries using a rubric established for this purpose. The rubric requires a certain percentage of the clinical queries for each element satisfy the scoring criteria; this is the essential level for quality of content. The rubric has cut points, by percentages, above the minimum criteria that describe the desirable levels for quality of content. | ||
| The DVD must contain “all the same content as the online version in its entirety”. Does it need to have the same functionality? (e.g. search, drug databases) | It should be a standalone version of the product. Functional in "fully tested, functional, and of commercial-quality" DVD means that the DVD should work; there should be no glitches, bugs, or latency issues. It should be able to search the content on the DVD, including drug content. It should have a drug interaction checker. | ||

Or should we provide responses to all sections within the Statement of Work? | Offerors are only required to provide an in-line response to the SOW paragraph, 2.3 Accessibility.
