Andrea Fink Contracting Officer PIHCS EHRM infrastructure Upgrades DB Phase I Technical Questions

1. Many similar being administer by PCAC have the contractor experience requirement set to projects over $3 Million as acceptable experience.

1. Many similar being administer by PCAC have the contractor experience requirement set to projects that are at least 50% complete as acceptable experience.
