The Government also wants to address the length of the SOW. Please note that the SOW is broken into two separate programs: Pre-Employment and Post-Employment. Many of the requirements are restated or very similar for each program, which has resulted in the lengthier SOW document. The Draft SOW has been made available to interested offerors since July 24, 2020 and the Final version of the SOW has not changed since the draft Solicitation release on August 5, 2020.
