QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. Is the date for CLIN Item No 0004 correct? A1. Yes, 2 April is correct

Q2. CLIN Item No 0005, 10-11 Sept 2016, shows three operational days. Should 9 Sept be included in the dates? A2. Yes September 9th should be included

Q3. On page 6, CLIN 0006 is for CMR. However, on page 27, CLIN 0006 is listed as a 30 Sept event. Which is correct? If an event, what are the Supplies/Services? A3. CLIN 0006 is requesting CMR Online Reporting be completed NLT 30 Sept 16.

Q4. Will award more likely be made per CLIN or as a whole? If by CLIN, how soon will that/those award notice/s be given? A4. Government reserves the right to reject any and all offers, to award multiple contracts, to award contracts for any/all or none of the event service dates, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of the Government. Awards will be accomplished ASAP.

Q5. CLIN 0000: are the two (2) references in addition to the Past Performance/Past Experience or referring to them? A5. Reference/Past Performance is one in the same.

Q6. It appears that reciprocity is granted for dental professionals. Would SD provide the same reciprocity to the medical professionals, as well?

Both Medical and Dental providers are to possess SD Licensing.

Q7. Regarding immunizations and the statement, "Government will provide only serum required for event." Is contractor expected to provide any other? A7. Government will provide all serums.
