Interested parties are invited to identify themselves in writing before the deadline of April 25, 2011, at 1:00 p.m. EST, although this notice does not constitute a solicitation for competitive proposals.

The office address is located in Doral, FL, and the overall focus is to secure reliable cable services vital to USSOUTHCOM’s operational needs.
