About this file
This document contains questions and answers related to solicitation number HT942523R0049 for Travis Air Force Base clinical research support services. The solicitation seeks a contractor to assist with executing Department of Defense medical research projects through clinical studies and programs at Travis AFB's David Grant Medical Center Clinical Investigation Facility. Key services include program and project administration and management to ensure regulatory compliance and meet expectations of funding sources. Questions were due by April 3, 2023 at 10:00 AM EST. The responses clarify that no specific staffing matrix is required, a subcontracting plan is not necessary if the offeror provides all support, and a letter of intent is acceptable to represent interest. Resumes must demonstrate a minimum of a Master's degree for specified positions. Medical liability insurance is only needed for the clinical research nurse role depending on the research protocol. Price realism will not be evaluated but an appendix with industry benchmarks to substantiate pricing can be included without page limit.

| Given the high proportion of key personnel and focus on recruitment and retention, would the Government add price realism to the evaluation, in addition to reasonableness, to give the Government confidence that the services can be provided at the proposed price and do not reflect too low prices that would indicate a lack of technical understanding and execution risk? | B08-HT942523R0049 | pg. 6, 3.c. | Price realism will not be added to the evaluation. |
| Given the RFQ focus on recruitment and retention of the required key personnel, would the Government consider requiring evidence aligned to industry benchmarks to substantiate reasonable and realistic pricing? | B08-HT942523R0049 | pg. 6, 3.c. | Price realism will not be added to the evaluation. |
| If not required, would the Government accept an appendix demonstrating evidence of industry benchmarks to substantiate reasonable and realistic pricing? | B08-HT942523R0049 | pg. 6, 3.c. | There is no page limit on the Cost Volume. |

Can the government clarify if blood draws are a required service of the Clinical Research Nurse even though it is not one of the listed tasks of the role. | B08-Attachment 1 - Labor Category Descriptions 3_24_2023 (Final) and |
B08-Attachment 4 - Section H Addendum (Final) The senario of drawing blood is dependent on the protocol requirements at hand, however, the requirement for medical liability insurance is tied to the consent forms.
