Questions and Answers for the Solicitation 36C25227Q0006 Goose Management for the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.

1. Q: May an offeror perform the specialized Border Collie herding services through a subcontractor arrangement, subject to COR approval under Section 2.B of the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Limitations on Subcontracting clause? If so, must the prime contractor demonstrate that its own employees will perform the balance of the services, or may the subcontractor perform the full-service scope?

A: Please see VAAR 852.219-75 VA Notice of Limitations on Subcontracting Certification that is in the Solicitation for vendors that are submitting quotes as qualified SDVOSB or VOSB certification.

2. Q: Section E requires proof of an established business providing Border Collie goose-control services for the last three years, plus a previously obtained State of Wisconsin egg-depredation permit. May a small-business prime satisfy these requirements using its proposed subcontractor's documented experience and prior permit, with the prime responsible for contract management and oversight or must the prime itself independently hold that operating history and permit?

A: The contractor to whom this requirement is awarded to, shall be able to submit all required information no matter whether they hold or if the subcontractor holds all licenses, certifications, training and any other documentation pertinent to this solicitation. The contractor to whom this requirement is awarded is the responsible party and will be held accountable for the performance of this contract.

3. Q: Please confirm the applicable set-aside designation for this solicitation, and clarify whether the inclusion of VAAR 852.219-75 (SDVOSB/VOSB) language is consistent with a general small-business set-aside, or whether the requirement is actually restricted to certified SDVOSB/VOSB concern?

A: This question was answered in Question 1.

4. Where to support quote packages:

A: All quote packages shall be submitted by email to: Contract Specialist Debbie Bruening

Email: debbie.bruening@va.gov. Please see Page 1 of this amendment for the date on

This solicitation has been extended to.
