Interested parties are invited to submit a capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet all SOW requirements via email to the primary point of contact, Jennifer Mun, but such submissions are solely for the government's evaluation of whether to proceed with competition—responses do not constitute offers and will not be evaluated for award.

No contract value, pricing, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or administrative details have been disclosed beyond the intent to sole source to CARR Biosystems.
