This amendment contains the following answers to questions received in regards to the Section D.16 pre-award inspection submittal package:
QUESTION: It was my intention to send you a Verified Roster With documentation of verification for and copy of License EACH EMS Resource- listing EMPFs AEMTs and EMTs together in one document; A copy of our MT License and Permits; A copy of our Medical Directors Authorization; and a list of consumables with restocking fees, not multiple copies for EACH.
ANSWER: Each solicitation will need a separate pre-award inspection documentation submittal package.

This will need to be done for each solicitation in accordance with Section D.16 of the solicitation.
QUESTION: Will one submission for all 5 solicitations be sufficient, or should I send multiple copies?
ANSWER: Each solicitation will need a separate pre-award inspection documentation submittal package submitted to the government by the vendor in accordance with Section D.16 of the solicitation. Please see the above answer for D.16 submission requirement clarifications.
