Primary point of contact for inquiries is Scott McBride, Finance Procurement Officer, reachable via phone or email provided in the solicitation. The contract does not specify a set-aside status or NAICS code, indicating an open competition for qualified vendors capable of delivering durable, repeatable training props that meet operational safety and durability standards.
