Q526--VISN04 - Multi-Station - Virtual Pharmacy Services

Q_A Set 3 Q_A 1. I have a question about the sub heading, Service Approach under the Technical Capability submission requirement. It is stated that. ".......with information to include the capability of providing a secure web-based system for service,......."- Is it not that Virtual Pharmacists will be utilizing the CAG(Citrix Access Gateway) to obtain login to the VAHCS? Yes, please 6.1 in PWS This is standard and customary for Virtual Pharmacy Services in the VA. Why is this requirement stated please? We need verification of a secure system as an ISO requirement Q2. I need to ask you about the Multiple offers on page 21 of the RFQ main document. Am I able to submit 2 offers and the other as part of a Teaming entity? A2. Yes, you can submit a quote for yourself as well as teaming with another vendor. Please ensure you submit complete packages each time as I cannot share information from one package to another. I require complete packages from both. Both businesses require their own past performances completed and sent to me by the person giving the reference. If both businesses have the same references, that is fine as long as each reference document has the proper heading labeled for the respective business it is representing. Example: If Reference A is going to supply references to both businesses, I require 2, one representing each business properly titled. Q3. Evaluation factors - standards for how to weigh the evaluation factors...i.e. is price more important than past performance, or are they equal, or anything else! It would be much appreciated if you can offer some clarification here as to the relative importance to weighting of the factors for Evaluation. A3. All evaluation factors are all equally important.
