• Data is to be provided for various geographic regions, including Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, "All other Territories or Possessions," Alaska (AK), and all states (AL through WY).

Bidders must use this template to report the estimated number of qualified physicians they propose to assign to the contract, categorized by specialty and location. This information is crucial for the government to assess the bidder's capacity and resource planning for the opportunity.
