The estimated cost is $56,000, and a 7-day solicitation will be made on SAM.gov to allow competing quotes for this specific brand. Despite efforts to encourage competition, the GSA emphasizes the critical nature of this procurement in supporting ongoing military operations and homeland security efforts.
