VENDOR QUESTIONS

1. SF 1449 (block 8) shows an offer due date of 11/12/2026, while the instruction letter and the SAM notice show 11/13/2026 at 1:00 PM Central. Which date applies, and to which email address should proposals be sent? The due date is 11/13/2026 at 1:00 pm Central Time. The proposals should be sent to [email protected]. Is there a deadline for questions? There was no deadline set for questions. 3. The bid schedule quantities differ from the Performance Work Statement (for example CT 4,450 on the schedule versus about 2,400 in PWS section 2, and MRI 500 on the schedule with no MRI in the PWS). Which quantities should offerors use? Use the Performance Work Statement. MRI will not be required. 4. Will the Government consider the past performance, accreditation and radiologist qualifications of a proposed teaming partner or subcontractor that will perform the reads, under the past performance and technical factors? Yes. The Government will consider relevant past performance of a proposed teaming partner or subcontractor that will perform the radiology interpretations under the Past Performance factor, consistent with the solicitation’s evaluation criteria and the entity’s proposed role. 5. FAR 52.212-2(b) refers to an "all-inclusive hourly rate", while the bid schedule is priced per study. Please confirm pricing is per study as shown on the schedule. The pricing is per study as in the bid schedule. 6. PWS section 5 requires "a current teleradiology certification per Minnesota state requirements." What specific certification or license does this refer to? The Radiologists need to be licensed to practice in Minnesota. 7. In the FAR 52.212-5 checklist, the boxes for 52.219-6 and 52.219-14 are not marked. Please confirm whether the limitations on subcontracting clause applies to this acquisition. The instruction letter also cites "Section B.5", which we could not locate; please confirm which section is meant. This acquisition is a total small business set-aside, and FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, applies, because the anticipated contract value, including options, exceeds the applicable simplified acquisition threshold. The Government will amend the solicitation to incorporate FAR 52.219-6 and FAR 52.219-14 and correct the clause sections. Offerors must ensure their proposed subcontracting arrangements comply with FAR 52.219-14.
