Government Responses to Vendor Questions

1 | P a g e

1. Page 3 of Attachment 7 under Blocks 8 & 9 indicate that all proposals are due on April 8 2022, 12:00 PM Local Philadelphia Time. Given the short turnaround time for contractors who do not currently have a Radiology and Imaging Systems Program Contract to gather all required information and respond to this Solicitation appropriately, will extensions to this deadline be considered if necessary?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Extension requests will be taken into consideration and may be granted. In order to avoid last minute/day extension requests, requests for extension shall be submitted as soon as the vendor realizes it would be needed.

2. Page 97 of Attachment 7 under the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SUBMISSION OF PROPOSAL INFORMATION reads: “(a.) AGREEMENT TO ALL SOLICITATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS: A proposal will be considered conforming to solicitation requirements when it has satisfactorily met the requirements of the solicitation and the vendor has not taken exception to any terms or conditions.” Will exceptions to any of these Solicitation Terms and Conditions be considered due to specific business requirements and processes, or will an offer be deemed Unacceptable if exceptions and/or clarifications are proposed?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Exceptions effecting all offerors would be considered, however, exception for a specific company may make the offeror ineligible for award, if maintained during discussions.

3. Page 50 - 51 Item (b) numbers (1) – (3) of Attachment 7 under the XII. CONTRACT AND DELIVERY ORDER PRICING REQUIREMENTS mention the submission of invoices or other supporting documentation to establish price reasonableness for the items offered. It is our understanding that this information will not need to be provided with the initial offer, as long as the required Attachments 3 – 5 are submitted and that after the initial submission, the CO will advise the number of items to be provided to fulfill this requirement. Please confirm our understanding.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Price support information is not provided within the vendors initial proposal submission. Rather, the Government requests price support information as part of clarifications after the closing date of the solicitation.

4. In addition to the Attachments 3 – 5, do we need to include Pages 2 – 133 (Continuation Sheets, Attachment 7) in our proposal response or only the signed Original Solicitation 1449 & signed Amendment 0016? Can you please clarify?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: For the original solicitation, only a signed 1449 (first page only- Attachment 6) needs to be submitted. For Amendment 0016, a signed SF30 including all corresponding pages, needs to be submitted. Furthermore, a signed SF30 (including all corresponding pages) needs to be submitted for all future amendments as well, unless otherwise specified.
