RFQ Attachment 3 – Questions & Answers

Q1. Could you please elaborate on the lead time we would receive between notification and receipt of each potential study (e.g., 2 weeks, 1 month, etc.)?

A1. We anticipate the lead time to be 2 weeks.

Q2. For forecasting purposes, do you have an idea of how frequently we could receive new studies?

Could it be in batches, or would there be a staggered approach to study shipments?

A2. The vendor may receive more than one study within a short period. However, the Government will prioritize the studies, and there is no expectation that multiple studies must be completed simultaneously.
