This step aims to ascertain whether a competitive market exists.

    The evaluation criteria will be based on the clarity and conciseness of the written responses, which must be submitted by email before the deadline. Responses must showcase the applicant's ability to fulfill the required services.

    Interested parties should direct any inquiries to Jeffrey Snyder at jeffrey.snyder.20@us.af.mil, ensuring that all communication is in writing. The submission deadline is August 6th, 2024, at 1:00 PM EST.

    This opportunity is funded by the U.S. government, with financial details to be confirmed. The contract type is expected to be firm-fixed price.
