Responses to Solicitation Questions and revised Performance Work Statement:

1. Question: "All Contractor personnel shall have/obtain an active favorable Tier 1 (T1) or meet the requirements of DoDM 1000.13-M-VI, January 23, 2014." Please confirm this is related to onsite personnel or all of our employees?

Response: This requirement is related to the Onsite Personnel.

2. Question: 3.1.16 lists a number of requirements for acceptable scribe personnel. The best scribes are pre-med candidates and are typically not scribes for greater than three years as they matriculate to medical school, so the requirement listed in 3.1.16 does not serve the best interests of the Air Force. Is this a non-negotiable requirement?
