About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding solicitation number FA520922Q0006 for physical therapist services at Yokota Air Base in Japan. The solicitation requires providing one physical therapist to cover a range of physical therapy duties for the 374th Medical Group at the base.

The therapist may have the ability to prescribe some medications and order imaging studies like x-rays and MRIs depending on their credentials. Housing is not provided on base so the contractor must secure off-base housing at an estimated monthly cost of $1,000-$2,000 and provide their own transportation to the base. The response shall consist of three parts covering a summary, price, and technical approach. This is a new requirement not a follow-on contract.
