Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 14, 2026, at 10:00 AM Eastern to designated Army email addresses, formatted in Microsoft Word or Excel only, and must address twelve specific items covering company qualifications, past performance, staffing plans, and ability to operate within a rapid acquisition timeline.
