There is no designated set-aside for small businesses or specific categories of vendors, making this opportunity open to all qualified contractors. The place of performance spans across Louisiana, encompassing multiple bus stop locations under the agency’s jurisdiction. Interested parties must submit proposals through the official state procurement portal, and all inquiries should be directed to Rhonda Kimbel, the primary point of contact, via email at rkimbel@brcats.com or by phone at 225-346-5552.
