[email protected] . Q&A HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THIS AMENDMENT. PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENTS. On behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for GSA to issue a FAR 16.703 Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) (not a BPA) with only General Services Administration (GSA) and Veterans Administration (VA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractors that may utilize Contractor Teaming Arrangements to provide one or all of the identified components. The intent is for specific order requirements to be competed among BOA holders using FAR 8.4 ordering procedures. Only holders of the BOA will be eligible to compete for orders. Due to the urgency of this request, establishing BPAs IAW FAR 8.405-3 is not feasible. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. GSA is issuing this Request for Proposal (RFP) R10AASTXR0001 for Temporary Hospital Support Supplies and Services in accordance with the provided Performance Work Statement (PWS). All respondents must have a one or more General Services Administration (GSA) and Veterans Administration (VA) Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractors that can utilize Contractor Teaming Arrangements to provide one or all of the identified components. Scope: FEMA may require temporary hospital support supplies and services to accommodate an increase in patient population due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. If requested, facilities would need to accommodate Non-COVID-19 and/or COVID-19 patients due to a lack of bed space in the existing medical system.
