    DAF Civilian Health FAQ.pdf
    The DAF Civilian Wellness RFI Amendment 2 addresses inquiries from potential contractors regarding a new initiative aimed at supporting the Department of the Air Force's civilian workforce and their families. The program does not have an incumbent contractor, marking it as a fresh effort. It does not require managing existing fitness or wellness centers but focuses on comprehensive care through specific wellness offices. FedRAMP certification is mandatory for cloud service solutions. Contractors must provide their own baselines for support and are not restricted to a specific call center location, provided they maintain 24/7 access with quick response times. There may be a small business quota, dependent on market research outcomes. Although the solicitation's release and contract award dates are not yet defined, past performance and financial stability checks will be integral for contractor eligibility. Overall, this program aims to create a new approach to civilian wellness that expands upon existing services, ensuring eligibility extends to various Department of the Air Force civilian employees and their family members.
