AMENDMENT #0004

1. The purpose of this amendment is to answer the questions from offerors and incorporate requirement changes in the solicitation as shown below:

Question (Q) 1: Solicitation: 1.6.11.4.3.4. Biomedical Equipment Technician(s) (BMETs): The contractor shall provide enough full-time BMETs, but no less than three, for repairing medical equipment located at all COBs except Gwangju AB. For BMETs, shall the offeror submit resumes of at least 3 (three) BMETs per Air Base in a proposal or 1 (one) BMET per Air Base?

Answer (A) 1: A BMET for each base is not required but a total of 3 is required for all the COB's combined. The PWS, Para 1.6.11.4.3.4 is revised as shown below:

FROM: 1.6.11.4.3.4. The contractor shall provide enough full-time BMETs, but no less than three, for repairing medical equipment located at all COBs except Gwangju AB. BMETs may be required to travel between COBs in order to accomplish all work orders, which are normally assigned to each BMET on a monthly basis. The Biomedical Equipment Repair Technician(s) shall have a minimum of two (2) years of experience in providing biomedical equipment repair technician at a medical facility within the last five (5) years. Additionally, BMET provide a copy of certifications of an accredited civilian biomedical maintenance course or equivalent government or military course.

TO: 1.6.11.4.3.4. Biomedical Equipment Technician(s) (BMETs): The contractor shall provide enough full-time BMETs to cover a total of 6,240 work hours IAW Appendix 4, for repairing medical equipment located at all COBs. BMETs may be required to travel between COBs in order to accomplish all work orders, which are normally assigned to each BMET on a monthly basis. The Biomedical Equipment Technician(s) shall have a minimum of two (2) years of experience in providing biomedical equipment technician at a medical facility within the last five (5) years. Additionally, BMET shall provide a copy of the qualification requirement documents: (i) Current and valid License of Industrial Engineer Biomedical (의공산업기사) or Engineering Biomedical (의공기사) issued by ROK Government (Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD Korea (한국산업인력관리공단) OR (ii) Diploma of Department of Biomedical Engineering (의공학과) issued by College or University.

Q2: A BMET will not be required for Gwangju AB?

A2: A BMET that stays at Gwangju full time is not required. See answer above in Q1.

Q3: Solicitation: Additionally, BMET provide a copy of certifications of an accredited civilian biomedical maintenance course or equivalent government or military course. Is it qualified for this solicitation if a person for the BMET position has a certification such as Industrial Engineer Biomedical (의공산업기사) or Engineer Biomedical (의공기사)? I think the certifications of BMETs specified in the solicitation is too ambiguous to understand.

A3: Yes, either of the Industrial Engineer Biomedical (의공산업기사) or Engineer Biomedical (의공기사) are acceptable. As a result Answer 3, (1) PWS, Paragraph 1.6.11.4.3.4, (2) Paragraph, 3. b, Subfactor 3 (d) under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to the offeror - Commercial Items (Oct 2015), and (3) Paragraph (a), Subfactor (3) (d) under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (Oct 2014) are revised to read:

(1) PWS Paragraph 1.6.11.4.3.4.:

1.6.11.4.3.4. Biomedical Equipment Technician(s) (BMETs): The contractor shall provide enough full-time BMETs to cover a total of 6,240 work hours IAW Appendix 4, for repairing medical equipment located at all COBs. BMETs may be required to travel between COBs in order to accomplish all work orders, which are normally assigned to each BMET on a monthly basis. The offeror shall have a minimum of two (2) years of experience in biomedical equipment technician at a medical facility within the last five (5) years. Additionally, BMET shall provide a copy of the qualification requirement documents: (i) Current and valid License of Industrial Engineer Biomedical (의공산업기사) or Engineering Biomedical (의공기사) issued by ROK Government (Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD Korea (한국산업인력관리공단) OR (ii) Diploma of Department of Biomedical Engineering (의공학과) issued by College or University.

(2) Paragraph, 3. b, Subfactor 3 (d) under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instruction to the offeror - Commercial Items (Oct 2015):

(d) Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMET): The offeror shall submit BMET(s)’s resume with a minimum of two (2) years of experience in biomedical equipment technician at a medical facility within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. Additionally, BMET shall provide a copy of the qualification requirement documents: (i) Current and valid License of Industrial Engineer Biomedical (의공산업기사) or Engineering Biomedical (의공기사) issued by ROK Government (Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD Korea (한국산업인력관리공단) OR (ii) Diploma of Department of Biomedical Engineering (의공학과) issued by College or University.

Q4: Is Appendix 2 applied equally to all the performance areas? I cannot see where each equipment of Appendix 2 is located.

A4: Yes, Appendix 2 lists all the equipment located across all of the COB's. This is not site specific but an all-inclusive list.

Q5: Regarding AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION NO.0001, Page 62 says the requirement of Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMET). Engineer Biomedical or Industrial Engineer Biomedical issued by Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRD Korea) is acceptable or not? HDR Korea is a Korean government organization. The below link is for your information. Caution-http://www.kbme.or.kr/data06.html < Caution-http://www.kbme.or.kr/data06.html > www.kbme.or.kr – Korea Medical Engineering Association A5: Yes, see answer above in Q3.

Q6: This solicitation requires the contractor to be eligible for award under this LCS contract. For example, there is "A" company that has a parent that holds more than 50/100 of the total issued and outstanding shares in "A" company. And its parent company is located in the USA. Is "A" company eligible for this LCS contract and qualified for this solicitation if its Parent company decreases its total issued and outstanding shares less than 50/100 before the closing date/time of the solicitation? Is its prior experience and past performance qualified for this solicitation as well, based on the above fact?

A6: Prior to the closing date/time established in the solicitation, a prime contractor must submit a Stock Change Certificate. If the Stock Change Certificate shows that the contractor has a Parent, the offeror must submit the Parent’s Certified Copy of Register (the fourth block of which must state an address that is physically located in the Republic of Korea). If the Stock Change Certificate does not show a parent, the offeror must submit only the offeror's Certified Copy of Register and offeror's Stock Change Certificate.

Q7: In regard to 3.1.6, Installation transportation service, it appears to involve some movement of assets between Osan and sites. Does Air Force provide TMO support like 3.5 ton truck to move assets, for example?

A7: Assets are moved between bases via TMO or the military members at Daegu. Daegu and Gimhae items are shipped to Daegu, Osan and Suwon items are shipped to Suwon and Suwon contractors are required to pick up their items from Osan when they come up to drop off inventory folders and it is the contractor's responsibility. Gwangju items are shipped to Gwangju so no transportation is needed.

Q8: In regard to 1.11, Orientation and Training and Appendix 3, Listing of Skills Training, many trainings are referenced in PWS. Will government pay for TDY expense to take government-provided trainings or is it at contractor’s expense each time? Where shall those trainings take place?

A8: No travel is required, Suwon contractor training will be proved by Osan military personnel during the monthly surveillance. Daegu, Gwangju and Gimhae contractor training will be provided by Daegu military members. Semi-annually there will be DMLSS training provided by a team from headquarters, this is usually 3-4 days long and will be funded by the contract company for TDY costs (lodging/food) not the actual DMLSS training course.

The contractor may be required TDY a max of twice per year for the semiannual DMLSS training. The training is not mandatory but highly encouraged and is for the benefit to the contract employee’s knowledge base. The cost would be at the contractor’s expense.

Q9: Doesn’t government require Quality Control Plan and/or Mission Capability Plan which were required as sub factors of proposal submission requirement of previous bid in 2014?

A9: IAW Paragraph 1.6.1.1, the contractor shall submit QCP within five (5) working days after the contract is awarded.

Q 10: Is Phase-in evaluated for pricing comparison?

A10: Yes.

Q11: CLIN 0008 reads “No phase-in cost will be allowed to the incumbent contractor”. But incumbent contractor needs to incur recruitment cost to hire additional employees to get new hires issued base pass or to give orientation in advance, for example. If Phase-in cost of all offerors regardless of incumbent or new is included into overall pricing and evaluated, it is fair to all. But if Phase-in cost is NOT allowed to only incumbent contractor, this means the inclusion of Phase-in cost of incumbent contractor to base year is disadvantageous to only incumbent contractor in pricing evaluation. If Phase-in cost is not evaluated for offerors except incumbent contractor, Phase-in cost MUST be allowed to incumbent contractor too. Or phase-in cost must be all allowed and evaluated in fairness perspectives.

A11: Delete "No phase-in cost will be allowed to the incumbent contractor." under the CLIN 0008 Phase-In/Transition Period.

Q12: With regard to Government Furnished Property and Material:

(1)* Does the government provide water to drink or water in drinkable condition?

(2)* If water is tested “non-drinkable” condition, does government provide drinkable water?

(3)* Are telephone lines or internet lines inside buildings/facilities accessible for commercial use?

A12: (1) No, (2) No, and (3) telephone lines are DSN/internet is military network. If commercial internet is desired that is on the contract company.

Q13: In the section “LISTING OF MEDICAL WRM STOCK AT EACH COB LOCATION” Under Gimhae, Assemblages 903 Oxygen Package and 917 Med EMEDS Augment Equipment Package have not been added in this current solicitation.

A13: Currently these are not listed because at the time of writing the contract the assemblages were not located at Gimhae. This will still fall under the 25% increase/decrease noted in the contract. The following sentence is inserted in the APPENDIX 1 as a “NOTE”: NOTE: The total estimated number of WRM stocks increase up to 25% shall be performed by the contractor at no additional cost to the Government.

Q14: Assemblages 904G2 ERPSS Equipment and 904H3 ERPSS Expandable have been moved from Daegu to Gimhae. And 904I3 ERPSS Expandable has just been sent from Kelly USA to Gimhae AB. This does not reflect on the List of Medical WRM Stock at Each COB Location. (This means more assets to maintain under future contract)

A14: A "NOTE" was added in the Appendix I as Answer #13.

Q 15: There is no BMET course but Biomedical engineering major and license in Korea. Are graduates from Biomedical engineering major considered the same as BMET (Biomedical Equipment Repair Technician)?

A 15: Yes, it’s acceptable. See answer above in Q3.

Q16: People who majored in Biomedical engineering in Korea could be different from BMET with job description in PWS in practically responsible area in terms of variety of bio medical equipment to service or repair at medical facility. People with Biomedical engineering major in Korea are responsible for one or two equipment individually, not a variety of equipment BMET in US military covers. Are those only trained in Korean medical facility and possibly experienced with very few type of equipment technically qualified for BMET?

A16: See answer above in Q3.

Q17: BMET may be required to travel to COBs. When they are required to travel to other than COBs, is this cost recoupable?

A 17: The contract company is responsible for lodging/travel and/or providing adequate personnel to support the requirements of the contract.

Q18: Site Managers may also be required to travel to COBs or other than COBs (i.e.) Osan AB or Kunsan AB. Is this cost recoupable?

A 18: Same answer as #17.

Q19: New (additional) assemblages will probably be added and all sites will plus up. Will this trigger a resolicitation each time? Is the other provision to not trigger a rebid because the number of assemblages is modification acceptable?

A19: A solicitation will not be triggered unless the total change increases by more than 25%. Please see the Q13.

2. The below paragraph in the PWS, Paragraph 1.6.1.1 is deleted:

“The contractor’s corporate quality policy (and state if the contractor has a quality program / plan certified under the ISO 9000/ANSI Q90 series of quality standards, or has applied for ISO 9000/ANSI Q90 certification) including examples of how that policy is fulfilled.”

3. The Local Clause No. 5152.232-4028 was replaced with new version.

1.6. General Information

1.6.1. Quality Control: The contractor shall develop and maintain a consolidated quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS and the current versions of the following instructions: AFI 41-106 Medical Readiness Training and Planning, AFI 41-201, Managing Clinical Engineering Programs, AFI 41-209, Medical Logistics Support, and AFMAN 41-216 Defense Medical Logistics Support (DMLSS) User’s Manual. The most current versions of these instructions can be found at http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/. The COR will notify the Contractor of any known changes to these regulations. However, the Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining current versions of all applicable directives and ensure compliance with the same.

1.6.1.1. Quality Control Plan: The contractor shall prepare a comprehensive Quality Control Plan (QCP). The quality of work and services provided under this PWS are the responsibility of the contractor. Therefore, the contractor shall develop and maintain a QCP to ensure contractor performance satisfies the requirements in this contract. Quality Control is a managerial process that: samples and evaluates actual performance; compares actual performance to goals, standards, and requirements; and takes action to correct any differences. If the contractor is not performing all three steps, a QCP does not exist. This plan shall detail the contractor’s QCP and contain such information as: items to be controlled, how the performance quality will be sampled, who is responsible for verifying work and service quality, who is responsible for correcting any deficiencies, and the inspection plan. The contractor shall submit this QCP within five (5) working days after the contract is awarded and shall be updated thereafter to maintain an effective and efficient quality control plan. The Government will make final review and acceptance of the QCP and any subsequent changes within 10 working days of contract award. The quality control plan shall cover all requirements detailed in this contract but should pay particular attention to the requirements identified in the performance requirements summary. Any changes to the QC Plan shall be submitted to the COR prior to implementation. The quality control plan shall include at a minimum:

1.6.1.1. The documents and records the contractor shall develop, keep, and use in the quality plan.

1.6.1.2. A method/system to measure, record, track, and report the quality of performance

1.6.1.4. A method/System to identify and correct the root causes of any performance deficiencies, rather than treating symptoms.

1.6.1.5. How the contractor shall approach continuous improvement efforts with internal and external customers.

1.6.1.6. A method and schedule for periodically verifying that the contractor’s QC plan is capable of controlling the quality of work performed.

1.6.1.7. Specific qualifications, training, experience and functional area of expertise required for contractor personnel assigned to perform each level of QC inspection/function.

1.6.2. Quality Assurance: The Government will assess the contractor’s performance on a continuous basis. The primary approach will be to assess the contractor’s quality management system and when it is found to be acceptable, the Government will use the contractor’s quality data for acceptance and payment purposes. The Government will perform inspection to validate the accuracy, timeliness, and truthfulness of the contractor’s quality data. When the contractor’s quality management system results in marginal or unsatisfactory performance, the Government will do a more detailed performance assessment. Marginal performance is performance at or very near the required performance threshold. Unsatisfactory performance is performance below the required performance threshold. Each required service will be assessed against applicable performance objectives and thresholds using a combination of techniques including the use of customer complaints and on-site inspections.

1.6.3. Safety Plan: The contractor shall take safety precautions during the performance of this contract to protect the lives of contractor personnel, the property of the U.S. Government, the Republic of Korea, as well as the private individuals and firms who may be exposed to or endangered by the contractor’s actions to maintain minimal accidents/incident, zero loss of life and minimal damage to property.
