Contract will be fixed unit price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity. The Government may award a contract on the basis of initial proposals received, without discussions.

Instructions to offerors on price and technical proposal submissions are found under clause 52.212-1, Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors Commercial Items. (ix) FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial Items (Oct 2018), applies to this acquisition.

Complete and return Contractor s Contract Administration Data below. Complete and return Price/Cost Schedule in Attachment 1. Attachment 6 is provided as a guide only to assist in calculating a VA Facility Rate. It is not required to be used but is provided for assistance in determining the VA Facility Rate should an offeror choose to utilize it. Complete and return provision 52-212-3 with proposal. Offerors must ensure that they have completed official Representations and Certifications online through www.sam.gov Complete and sign all attachments requiring signature/acknowledgement. Proposal Content: Your proposal shall be separated into three (3) distinct sections corresponding to the three evaluation factors: Technical, Past/Present Performance and Price, as noted below. Submission Instructions: PROPOSAL DUE DATE: Proposals are due no later than 3:00 p.m., Central Time, November 22, 2019. Proposals shall be emailed to alyson.allman@va.gov. It is the responsibility of the offeror to follow-up and ensure the proposal was received electronically. Several emails may be sent to ensure that attachment size limitations are not exceeded. Proposal shall not be FAXED or MAILED. 3. Proposal Format: All attachments/documents shall be on 8 ˝ x 11 paper. All electronic files shall be in pdf. and MS Excel.xls format, as applicable (unprotected). 4. Price Schedule: Price schedules are necessary for each ordering period. Price proposals should be a separate attachment. For pricing purposes, the current CMS rates should be used in completing each CLIN for the base year and all ordering periods, for both inpatient and outpatient services. Throughout the life of the contract the VA will pay the awarded firm fixed percentage of the Medicare rate effective at the time the service is provided by the Contractor. This basis of the contractor s proposed fixed percentage of Medicare rate will be used by the Government for future pricing of additional codes/procedures and for reimbursement under the contract. The basis of estimate used for your fixed price, i.e. the way that your price is calculated, shall remain the same throughout the life of the contract and may be validated by post award audits. No CLINS or codes should be left blank. If for some reason a code on the schedule has expired or is for any other reason unusable, offerors shall annotate the Price per Code block with N/A or otherwise notate the replacement code. At the end of each Specialty Area Section, the Offeror must enter a Percent of Medicare that the proposed price represents. The Percent of Medicare entry is extremely important since the contract award will be at that rate. Throughout contract administration, all codes reasonably considered to be included under the specialty areas will be considered in scope. The total extended price figure will be used only to determine the total estimated contract cost for the base and all ordering and an award based on Percent of Medicare accounts for those changes. At the end of each CLIN, extended pricing for all cells will be totaled and entered the box entitled Total Extended Cost All Cells. Indicate source for CMS rate proposed (Identify source and Internet link): Indicate the offeror s CMS practice expense (PE) designation for the rate proposed: (facility; non-facility; or VA facility); for this effort the VA Facility rate should be used because it excludes the Practice Expense (PE) RVU from the CPT Cost. The VA Facility Rate is the Work RVU and Malpractice (MP) RVU based on the appropriate locality. Attachment 6 is provided as a tool to help calculate this rate. 5. All questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted by email to alyson.allman@va.gov no later than 12 noon, Central Time, November 5, 2019. 6. The offeror shall bear all costs associated with the preparation and submission of the proposal.
