Interested vendors must express interest by emailing the point of contact with their company name, a capabilities statement, and primary contact information, using the notice ID 18CONS-GROUNDSMX-26-001 in the subject line to ensure proper tracking. To attend the in-person event, attendees must submit a completed Entry Authorization List as a PDF by June 8, 2026, providing full legal names, gender, date of birth, citizenship, country of birth, and an identification number for base access clearance. The NAICS code for the anticipated requirement is 561730 for Landscaping Services, with no set-asides planned. While the notice outlines administrative steps for vendor engagement and base entry, it contains no details on contract value, pricing, performance period, inspection criteria, evaluation factors, or technical specifications, as this is strictly a pre-solicitation outreach effort. The Department of Defense, through the 18th Contracting Squadron, is the procuring office, with Austin Robey as the primary point of contact and Lauree Morris as the alternate contracting officer.
