7. Is there any incumbent/recompete or this is a brand-new project? If yes, could you please provide us with their award number or even if the customer bought similar services in the past?
8. In 2021, in conjunction with N6264521Q0032, the previous solicitation for IONM services at NMCP, the solicitation package included an Attachment with historical data about procedure types, dates, incision times, end times, and total time. Can NMCP please provide that data again for 2023 and YTD 2024?
a. See attachment 1, Portsmouth NMC 2023 Cases.
9. Are any significant changes in procedure volumes, days of the week, or procedure types anticipated in 2025?
a. No
10. Page 21, Section 1.5 lists several types of procedures that are not typically performed with
IONM. For example, cochlear implants rarely if ever use IONM. Also, deep brain stimulation requires a different skillset and different supplies than IONM. Please clarify that NMCP currently only seeks IONM for neurosurgery, orthopedics, and vascular procedures, not the full list in Section 1.5.
a. We currently do not use IONM for any other surgeries then above listed neurosurgery, orthopedics, and vascular procedures.
11. If more of the list in Section 1.5 is currently required, please provide estimated annual numbers of each of the applicable procedures.
a. See attachment 1 Portsmouth NMC 2023 Cases for relevant historical data.
12. If specialized supplies are needed for procedures, please specify which supplies the contractor will be responsible for providing.

a. 1 November 2024
14. Will NMCP agree that performance start will happen no sooner than 60 days after award?
a. Yes
15. Page 34, Section 5.1 states “Contractor shall be prepared to provide service on up to three (3) procedures at the same time.” The 2021 historical data showed at most 2 concurrent procedures. Will NMCP please reduce this requirement from 3 to 2?
a. This will depend on surgical schedule. However, once we see schedule and discuss with vendor, we can maneuver schedule based on vendor availability if not an urgent/emergent case.
16. On page 34, PART 5, 5.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS, the RFP requirements includes: “The
Contractor shall be prepared to provide service on up to three (3) procedures at the same time.”
Based on previous experience and projected needs, what percentage of cases will require service in 2 procedures simultaneously? . . .3 procedures simultaneously?
a. See Question 4
17. Is this for the full proposal with all the techs, all the insurances, and supporting documents?
a. See Page 3 - 5, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS
18. Item NO 0001AA is for 90 cases in less than 5 hours and Item NO 0001AB is for 90 cases over 5 hours. Plus, the 10 cases on ITEM # 0001AC Emergency Procedures. Just so I don't assume anything is the total cases per year in the ballpark of 180 or 90?
a. See Page 21, Part 1, 1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION, 1.3 Background
19. Will the government please clarify if there is an incumbent providing service on this contract or is this level of effort a new need?
