The solicitation number is 140L3925Q0010, with a 100% Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332999. Vendors must submit their quotes via email to the designated contracting officer, Matthew Merritt, by January 10, 2025. The government seeks compliance with detailed product specifications and anticipates a single firm-fixed-price contract awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method.
