Amendment 0004: Corrected answers to questions received from industry.

19. SOW Section 5.2.2.1 - The Contractor shall require all of its employees, who are prospective FPS contract PSOs, to undergo a pre-employment medical/physical examination and every three years thereafter: Will the incumbent guards be required to take a pre-employment medical/physical examination?

Answer: The current contract personnel meet all requirements under the current contract. Note that the instant solicitation’s requirements differ from the requirements in the current contract. All contract guard personnel must meet all the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract.

61. SOW Section 5.2.2.1 of Medical Standards provides in relevant part, “The Contractor shall require all of its employees, who are prospective FPS contract PSOs, to undergo a pre-employment medical/physical examination and every three years thereafter.” Are the Medical Standards different from the Medical Standards applied to incumbent personnel at DEA HQ and Labs? Will incumbent guards with current medical/physicals be required to take a pre-employment medical/physical examination?

Answer: The current contract personnel meet all requirements under the current contract. Note that the instant solicitation’s requirements differ from the requirements in the current contract. All contract guard personnel must meet all the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract.

95. SOW Exhibit 7B: Is the PSO Physical Abilities Test Administrator’s Manual in Exhibit 7B to be used by physicians performing the pre-employment (and every three years thereafter) medical/physical screening? Is the Physical Abilities Test described in the manual mandatory for all uniformed personnel assigned to this contract? Have all incumbents passed the test? If not, will they be allowed to work on the new contract?

Answer: The current contract personnel meet all requirements under the current contract. Note that the instant solicitation’s requirements differ from the requirements in the current contract. All contract guard personnel must meet all the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract.

102. SOW Exhibit 7A: Have all incumbents passed the medical/physical examination and the requirements of Exhibit 7A? If not, will they be grandfathered?

Answer: The current contract personnel meet all requirements under the current contract. Note that the instant solicitation’s requirements differ from the requirements in the current contract. All contract guard personnel must meet all the requirements of the solicitation before they can work under the new awarded contract.
