The anticipated contract type is a Firm Fixed Price purchase order, should a solicitation proceed.

The contracting office is located at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and inquiries may also be directed to Sonji Epps. All submissions must be sent via email and include full documentation of qualifications, with no formal bid submission required at this stage.
