QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS –01

19 AUGUST 2022

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

1. Under GDPR (if a patient is seen within the European Union) and other host nation laws, the contractor will need evidence of the consent of the MSC beneficiary to release medical records from the host nation provider to the contractor and back to MSC. Does MSC have completed consent forms for its sailors that it can share with the contractor post award? Reference: Section 1.6.12

ANSWER: No. We do not have any signed consent forms. That currently is arranges during the process of scheduling the medevac.

2. Does MSC mean, “Maintaining a secured system to allow MSC access to case data…” instead of “case date”? Reference: PSR #4

ANSWER: Corrected in PWS.

3. This clause states the offeror is required to “provide complete resumes detailing their qualifications.”

However, both Key Personnel sections (5.2.10 and 5.4) state that credentials, licenses, etc. shall be provided “when requested by the Government.” Can you please clarify what resumes the MSC expects to receive as part of the RFP response process? Medical professionals utilized under this type of contract can vary from call center to call center. Does MSC wish to have a resume for the contractor’s CMO in response to the RFP? Reference: FAR 52.212-1(e)(2)

ANSWER: A resume from the CMO and the Call Center Director shall meet the requirement.

4. Approximately how many mariners are on each vessel? Reference: None

ANSWER: Anywhere between 20-157 Mariners per vessel.

5. The plug number is stated at $100K but the language also states it is Not-to-exceed (NTE). A movement from

Diego to the U.S. can be more than $100K. Therefore, by accepting an awarded contract is the offeror committing to ensure evacuations do not exceed $100K? Reference: CLIN Table, CLIN 0002

ANSWER: CLIN 0002 refers to the “fee” charged for arranging the MEDEVAC, not the actual cost of the

MEDEVAC.

6. What is the hourly rate for travel supposed to cover? It is not defined in the solicitation. Reference: CLIN Table, CLIN 0003

ANSWER: This refers to time and materials for MEDEVAC services.

7. Can the Government clarify the quantity used in cells C4 and C15? For example, cell C15 should likely be six because the base contract has units, which equals 60 months (5 years) for 60 vessels so the 6-month extension should be 6 months for 60 vessels. Is this a correct interpretation?

ANSWER: 60 Vessels
