Question: A vendor asked if they could redact the names, license numbers, NPI numbers and other identifying information about the Radiology Staff they intend to submit as staffing on their proposal as they believe it to be proprietary information and if not, the vendor wanted to know how the Government ensures that the information is protected from competitors. Answer: Proposals received in response to RFPs are submitted directly to the Contracting Office and are not shared with any other entity. The Contracting Officer evaluates the proposals and awards the contract to the company representing the best value meeting 100% of the requirements of the RFP. NO proposal information is shared with any other bidders or entities and is not publicly available. We take proprietary information and personal data associated with proposals very seriously and will not release to any other entity at any time. Note however, that we are required to post an award notice at time of award stating the name and address of the awardee and the total dollar amount of the award. No other contract data is posted as that was published in the RFP for clauses and unpriced line items required. Personnel and line item pricing are not listed in that notice. If necessary, redacting is acceptable for the proposal but contracting must be provided unredacted information within 5 days of award if selected. Failure to provide the information at that time may result in termination of resulting contract from this RFP.","origin":"extract"},"notice_type":{"code":"o","label":"Solicitation"},"schema_version":1,"solicitation_number":"36C24926R0007","product_service_code":"Q522"},{"dates":{"posted":"2026-05-18","response_deadline":{"raw":"2026-05-22T10:00:00-05:00","utc":"2026-05-22T15:00:00Z","date":"2026-05-22","time":"10:00:00","utc_offset_seconds":-18000}},"links":{"sam":"https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/216105ad139e49a2831157432d52f3df/view"},"naics":{"codes":["621111"],"primary":"621111"},"title":"Q522--Other - VISN 9 Tele-Radiology Contract - VISN Replacement base+4 requirement","agency":{"office":{"code":"36C249","name":"249-NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 9 (36C249)"},"subtier":{"code":"3600","name":"VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF"},"department":{"code":"036","name":"VETERANS AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF"},"office_address":{"zip":"37129","city":"MURFREESBORO","state":"TN","country":"USA"},"organization_type":"OFFICE"},"status":{"active":false,"archive_date":"2026-06-21","archive_type":"auto_custom"},"contacts":[{"name":"Ramona I Bonness","role":"primary","email":"ramona.bonness@va.gov","title":"Contract Specialist"}],"base_type":{"code":"o","label":"Solicitation"},"notice_id":"216105ad139e49a2831157432d52f3df","provenance":{"extract":{"url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/falextracts/Contract%20Opportunities/Archived%20Data/FY2026_archived_opportunities.csv","etag":"\"d9374b90a938e9923d910594731b7b57-106\"","fetched_at":"2026-09-16T16:22:53.920682Z","row_sha256":"34d5f7b0b4113e2c46b8990cb1ef5022a01c25ee02990396dba9dfd935c82ed3","last_modified":"2026-09-13T14:50:39Z"},"updated_at":"2026-09-16T16:22:53.920682Z","first_seen_at":"2026-09-16T16:22:53.920682Z"},"description":{"text":"RFP 36C24926R0007 AMEND # 4 This RFP is being amended to remove and replace VAAR Clause 852.204-70, and to add VAAR Clause 852.204-72. The contract modification is as follows: Clause VAAR 852.204-70 is hereby removed and replaced with the following: VAAR 852.204-70 Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel (MARCH 2026 Deviation) a. The Contractor shall comply with current Department of Veterans Affairs policy for personal identity verification of all employees performing under this contract when physical access to VA facilities, and/or logical access to VA information and VA information systems is required. b. The Contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor's employees will require physical access to VA facilities, and/or logical access to VA information and/or VA information systems. (End of Clause) The following VAAR Clause is hereby added to Section C of the contract: VAAR 852.204-72 Personnel Vetting and Credentialing. (MARCH 2026) (a) Definitions. As used in this clause VA Information system is the same as information system and means, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 5727, a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information whether automated or manual. VA sensitive information means all VA data, on any storage media or in any form or format, which requires protection due to the risk of harm that could result from inadvertent or deliberate disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the information and includes sensitive personal information. The term includes information where improper use or disclosure could adversely affect the ability of VA to accomplish its mission, proprietary information, records about individuals requiring protection under various confidentiality provisions such as the Privacy Act and the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and information that can be withheld under the Freedom of Information Act. Examples of VA sensitive information include the following: individually-identifiable medical, benefits, and personnel information; financial, budgetary, research, quality assurance, confidential commercial, critical infrastructure, investigatory, and law enforcement information; information that is confidential and privileged in litigation such as information protected by the deliberative process privilege, attorney work-product privilege, and the attorney-client privilege; and other information which, if released, could result in violation of law or harm or unfairness to any individual or group, or could adversely affect the national interest or the conduct of Federal programs. (b) General. Contractor personnel assigned to work for or on behalf of VA must undergo a background investigation commensurate with the risk and sensitivity level designation associated with the work to be performed at the level indicated in the contract. The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with VA Directive/Handbook 0710, Personnel Security and Suitability Program, which can be accessed at: https://vaww.va.gov/vapubs/index.cfm (c) Risk and Sensitivity Levels.
