The document, 6923G526Q0028 A00001, addresses questions regarding an On-Site Hearing and Respirator Fit Testing requirement. GLS anticipates testing 65-85 employees for audiometric evaluations and 45-65 for respirator fit testing over a two-day period (Tuesday and Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. each day) within 30 calendar days of contract award. The contractor must deploy a mobile clinical unit for testing, as GLS cannot provide a quiet room for audiometric testing. All employees will receive qualitative fit testing, with approximately 10 expected to require quantitative fit testing. Respirator types include N95, Half-Face, and Full-Face (3M models). The contractor is responsible for facilitating medical clearances per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and providing audiometric testing booths. Any state licensure for audiologists and clinicians is acceptable, and nurse practitioners or physician assistants can perform fit testing. GLS will provide a roster and an on-site point of contact. This is a one-time service, and travel to Massena, NY, includes lodging. Pricing will be firm-fixed-price per employee for the actual number of employees serviced, with no guaranteed minimum. The government will not provide budget estimates or current rates.
