SUBJECT: RFQ-ISS-34300204-15-024, Symoncare Solicitation Amendment 001 Questions & Answers (Q&A)

Question 1: “In each of the years (main, option 1 and option 2) there is a section called Optional Quantity Line. Are these product purchases?”

Answer 1: Yes, these are product purchases. Fiscal Service is requesting the option to be able to purchase an additional number of these items during the course of the contract.

Question 2: “The last material code description reads like an installation charge?”

Answer 2: Yes, 1588-R Prof Services-remote, fixed price implementation. Setup & Configure (1x charge) reads as an installation charge. Per research of the items being sought, this one time charge is relevant to anytime additional licenses (items 8864) are purchased for these licenses to be setup.

Question 3: “Under the Base yea this optional section shows 10/31/16-10/31/16-is this a typo and did you mean 10/31/15 as the start date?”

Answer 3: Yes, this is a typo and the correct start date should reflect 10/31/15. This will be corrected and a new spreadsheet provided/attached.

Question 4: In the Option year 1 and Option 2 these same optional quantity lines (2 each) show a full year of coverage;

however, they too have an installation line?”

Answer 4: Referring back to Q&A 2, it is Fiscal Services understanding that this implementation charge (1588-R) will apply if any additional licenses are purchased. Due to Fiscal Service not knowing when or if they will purchase additional licenses, this has been included in all option years.
