Antarctica Site Visit for perspective offerors under Solicitation N65236-05-R-0587

The National Science Foundation, in collaboration with the SPAWAR Systems Center Charleston and the United States Antarctica Project, is coordinating a site visit at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, scheduled for November 4-6, 2005. This event is associated with the subject requirement and a forthcoming solicitation. Interested potential offerors must submit their responses by 5 pm on September 28, 2005, and attendance is contingent upon successfully passing a required Medical and Dental physical examination. Coordinating these logistics, including the medical examination and travel arrangements, is Ms. Virginia Frederick, who requires personal information such as date of birth and social security number to process the medical package. Each offeror may send up to two representatives to attend the site visit, and their names must be submitted to Trish Johnson by the same September 28 deadline. Due to limited space, timely submission is critical. Offerors are responsible for covering the costs of the medical and dental evaluations, as well as travel and lodging expenses to and from Christchurch, New Zealand. The government will provide transportation between Christchurch and McMurdo Station. This opportunity is facilitated under the Department of Defense’s Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic office located in North Charleston, South Carolina.
