About this file

This document is an amendment to a solicitation for remote medical coding services. The amendment provides answers to questions received from potential offerors. The solicitation is for medical coding services to support the BG Crawford F. Sams Health Clinic at Camp Zama in Japan. The requirement is new and there is no incumbent. Offerors must submit proposals by 10:00am Hawaii time on August 11, 2023. The amendment clarifies that this is a standalone requirement and not part of a larger contract. It also explains the process for contractors to obtain network access required to perform the coding remotely once training and security requirements are met.
