Questions Regarding RFQ-CTS-017-17 (CTS in Chattanooga, Tennessee)

Question 1: The cover letter states for, "Prospective quoters are required to submit Annual

Representations and Certifications via the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) website at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/. "

Is this the FAR report?

Response: Yes. A company’s Representations and Certifications Application is contained with that company’s Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Report.

Question 2: On page 12 of 39 for the RFQ, Directive 5 states: "Any use or intended use of electronic database systems must be detailed and address the electronic system’s ability to meet the Bureau’s electronic security requirements".

What are the Bureau's electronic security requirements?

Response: The Bureau’s electronic security requirements are detailed within Solicitation Attachment Number 9, PGD 15-03, Security of Information and Information Systems.

Question 3: On page 13 of 39, Directive 10 states: "The Contractor shall maintain all licenses necessary to operate a business and treatment facility as required by the state in which services will be performed.

Quoter must submit a current valid business license issued by the state and or city in which the services will be performed. The business license must be in the name of the Quoter (Prime Contractor).

If our state does not require a TREATMENT FACILITY license and only the Provider's Counseling License and Business License are needed to conduct counseling sessions, Do we need to provide proof that a treatment facility license is not required and if so, what proof is acceptable?

Response: A prospective quoter must provide all necessary licenses to operate a business and treatment facility as required by the state in which services will be performed. If a particular license is not required by the state of Tennessee, please provide a copy of the statute that specifies this. In addition, the state licensing requirements will be verified by the Bureau.
