Being that this proposed project is located in the State of Montana, on July 1, 2021, Montana passed House Bill 702, which is:

“AN ACT PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION BASED ON A PERSON'S VACCINATION STATUS OR

POSSESSION OF AN IMMUNITY PASSPORT.”

This law prohibits “Discrimination based on vaccination status or possession of immunity passport prohibited -- definitions. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), it is an unlawful discriminatory practice for: (a) a person or a governmental entity to refuse, withhold from, or deny to a person any local or state services, goods, facilities, advantages, privileges, licensing, educational opportunities, health care access, or employment opportunities based on the person's vaccination status or whether the person has an immunity passport….”

Will the vaccine mandate requirements and enforcement of FAR Clause 52.233-99 and Safer Federal Workforce Task Force be waived for this project?

This will be addressed under Amendment A001 and A002. 10-Dec-21

I am trying to navigate the sam.gov website and need a little assistance. How do I view and get on the plan holders list for the above-mentioned project?

There is an interested vendors tab on beta.sam. You have to be signed in and have tied your entity to your registration when you signed up. If both of those things don’t happen the interested vendors list tab won’t be visible.

We don’t maintain a separate plan holders list.

You can call the federal service desk if you need further assistance. The number is1-866-606-7828.
