4. Washington State’s mandate for indoor mask wear ended on 12 March 2022. However, JBLM must follow DoD’s

Updated Guidance for Mask and Screening Testing for all Department of Defense Installations and Other Facilities;

dated 01MAR22. In this Under Secretary of Defense Memorandum, mask wear on DoD Installation is based on the

CDC COVID-19 Community Levels by County (Check community level here:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html)

Pierce County COVID-19 Community Level is LOW and WA State ended the requirement for mandatory mask wear indoors effective 11 MAR. IAW both State and CDC guidance, mask wear is optional on JBLM, unless Pierce

County returns to HIGH COVID-19 Community Levels:

• When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County rises to HIGH—indoor mask wearing will be required for vaccinated and unvaccinated, weekly screening tests for unvaccinated personnel is required for access to DoD facilities

• When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County is MEDIUM —indoor mask wearing is not required for vaccinated or unvaccinated IAW CDC recommendations, weekly screening tests for unvaccinated personnel required for access to DoD facilities.

• When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County drops to LOW — indoor mask wearing will not be required for vaccinated or unvaccinated IAW CDC recommendations, screening testing for unvaccinated personnel not required for access to DoD facilities o NOTE: Updated masking guidance does not apply to Madigan or other MTFs. Mask wear continues to be required when presenting for medical care. Regardless of CDC COVID-19 Community Level all personnel can choose to continue masking on an individual basis.

Current Pierce County COVID-19 Community Levels are updated by the CDC weekly, accordingly masking policies are subject to change.

Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where the work will be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable, and to attend the pre-proposal conference.

Mission and Installation Contracting Command. For a one (1)-day pass, no prior arrangements are necessary and have not been made.
