14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible.)

The purpose of this amendment is to answer questions received in response to this solicitation.

Question 1: Page 16 Section 4.6 Biennial Medical Screening Examination Components, in reference to TB Gold/PPD, TB Gold and PPD are two different tests. Which test(s) are you requiring? Only PPD is currently required.

Government Response: The Government is including TB Gold because it is a faster turnaround in getting the test results. The PPD test (traditional skin test) takes a full day (and the agent has to make a return trip to the clinic). We only do the PPD tests now when the

TB Gold test results are inconclusive, the agent cannot give enough blood, etc. So it is

like a backup at this point.

Question 2: Can you provide annual estimated quantity for each service item?

Government Response: This would be difficult to estimate. The Government does not have the figures for how many agents we may or may not seek to hire, or how many IMEs (independent medical examinations) or Fitness-for-duty exams we may have to perform. The only fixed number would be the number of biennial exams that we would have to perform for agents already on board

(every 2 years). This would create a huge variance in the number of TB Gold/PPD tests we would have to have performed.

Question 3: Is there any flexibility regarding the examination location requirement of a 50 mile radius from examinee home or office?

Government Response: There is no flexibility in the location requirement of a 50 mile radius from the examinee home or office.

Question 4: Could you please provide detail on expected volume or number of exams to be performed?

Government Response: See answer above to question

2.

Question 5: Could you please confirm this is an unrestricted solicitation and does not have a dollar amount set aside?

Government Response: Confirmed. There are no set-asides applied to this procurement.
