AMENDMENT 0003 NARRATIVE

The United States Army Contracting Command- Rock Island (ACC-RI) Office of the Program Manager, Saudi Arabian National Guard (OPM SANG) issues Amendment 0003 to Request for Quote (RFQ) W519TC-24-R-2050 for the following:

1. To extend the solicitation closing date to 0800 Central Standard Time on 06 August 2024.

2. Incorporate the following questions from industry and answers:

Industry Question #1: In the insurance industry, If the claims history is not provided, it is equivalent to not defining the risk, in other words, the requirements of the solicitation. It is a standard practice in the insurance industry for the insurers to provide the claims history to the contract holder, i.e. US Government, when the contract holder requests the insurer for the claims history. We request you to provide the historical claims data for the past 5 years.

United States Government Response: Requested.

Industry Question #2: In the insurance industry, the overall maximum limit (i.e. title of item 2.2 in Performance Work Statement of the solicitation) is defined as the annual maximum benefit amount paid towards covered medical expenses. However, item 2.2 of the Performance Work Statement of the solicitation fails to provide this limit per member per year, but instead mentions the cost of insurance. So, please clarify the annual maximum amount.

United States Government Response: The current contract has a Plan Annual Maximum of 28,173,750 per Year of Insurance, applying per insured person per Year of Insurance. It is at the Offeror's discretion to determine the dollar value/risk in determining the value of the Plan Annual Maximum to ensure the minimum requirements of the PWS, Attachment 0001 are met."

Please ensure proposal is complete in accordance with Section L Instructions to Offerors, with solicitation and ALL amendments signed and provisions/fill ins completed. See below:

Therefore, offerors initial quotes should contain the best terms. The Government does however, reserve the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

This contract will not be separately priced and Offeror is responsible for completing all work as outlined in the PWS. The Government reserves the right to require the submission of any data necessary to validate the reasonableness of an offer.

Proposed prices will be used by the Government to calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). For each proposal, the Government will calculate a Total Evaluated Price by adding the total of the Base Period, and the Option Periods. The Offeror shall complete the Price Matrix (Attachment 0001) as detailed below.

Offerors shall submit their proposals using the MS Excel Price Matrix (Attachment 0001). Failure to propose prices for all blue highlighted cells may result in the Offeror’s proposal being considered unacceptable and ineligible for award. The Price Matrix consists of one tab, the Price Matrix Summary tab, which requires an entry for CLIN 0001 – CONUS Students Medical Insurance (FFP). All proposed firm-fixed prices will be binding. (FFP) Gray shaded cells represent totals or Government developed surrogates; no action is required by Offerors in relation to gray shaded cells.

Please note that on CLIN 0002 – Value Added Tax (VAT), the Government has calculated that at a rate of 15%. Make sure the VAT is not included in your proposed cost for CLIN 0001 – CONUS Students Medical Insurance.

All prices for this acquisition shall be stated in current U.S. dollars, rounded and displayed to two decimal places. (Current U.S. dollars shall be interpreted to include escalation where appropriate.) It is noted that the terms of FAR 52.222‐44, Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Act – Price Adjustment. The Contractor warrants that the prices in this contract do not include allowance for any contingency to cover increased costs for which adjustment is provided under this clause.

The Price Matrix is locked to prevent inadvertent changes. Offerors shall not alter the Price Matrix in any way. If an Offeror changes the price matrix, its proposal may be considered unacceptable and ineligible for award. The Price Matrix shall be completed as follows:

Offerors shall complete the Price Matrix Summary tab by entering its Offeror Name, Unique Entity ID, Cage Code, and proposal date in the blue highlighted cells. Offerors shall also enter amounts for the CLIN 0001 – CONUS Students Medical Insurance (FFP) in the blue highlighted cells.

Price proposals are assumed to represent the Offeror’s best efforts, as final proposal revisions may not be requested. Any additional information considered necessary to explain the proposed pricing shall be submitted at the time of proposal submission.

Price Information: All information relating to the proposed price including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.
