FY23 364 Trips FY24 534 Trips FY25 406 Trips The solicitation notes a five-year ordering period (December 1, 2025 November 30, 2030). Can you please confirm whether this will be structured as a base year with option years, or as a five-year single ordering period under the IDIQ? This is a 5-year Commercial Firm Fixed Price, Single Award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The SATOC states a $2.5M contract ceiling� for the 5-year period. Can the Government confirm if this ceiling is cumulative across all years� or per year? $2.5M is the maximum dollar amount for 5 years. The RFQ repeatedly bolds the term Stretcher Transports is there significance to that? Sometimes transport is needed for bed bound patients to/from appointments that have no medical need for ambulance transport. The Performance Work Statement references Martinsburg VAMC, its CBOCs, affiliated healthcare clinics, and other facilities across VISN 5. Can the Government please clarify which cities, counties, or zip codes� are officially considered within the contract s catchment/service area� for purposes of transport obligations?

VA may ask to have patients picked up from their homes, a nursing home/rehab facility, another VAMC or community hospital. Section 4.5.1.7� Because the transport volume is significantly lower on weekends and holidays, will the requirement for 4 concurrent trips still apply during those periods, or will the number of required concurrent trips be reduced?

If so, does the VA prefer that the Contractor provide an onsite staff member(s) under the new award? The Contractor does not need to have a staff member onsite at the VAMC. Licensing and Insurance Requirements� The solicitation references compliance with state laws for ambulance operations. Can you confirm which state-specific licenses and insurance coverage are required? For performance across West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, will the Contractor need to hold licenses and insurance in all four states?
