--Notice of intent by the U.S. Army Contracting Activity, Aberdeen Proving Ground, to extend ordering period of Base Environmental Support Contracts DAAD05-97-D-7003 and DAAD05-97-D-7004.

The U.S. Army Contracting Activity at Aberdeen Proving Ground intends to extend the ordering period for two Base Environmental Support Contracts, DAAD05-97-D-7003 with General Physics Corporation and DAAD05-97-D-7004 with Weston Solutions, Inc., through December 31, 2003. This extension is to ensure the continued availability of environmental support services while negotiations for follow-on contracts are finalized. The extension allows uninterrupted support and addresses the timing needed to conclude the procurement process for replacement agreements. All inquiries regarding this extension can be directed to Mr. Jeff Pierce, the designated point of contact, who can be reached via phone or email. This action is overseen by the Department of Defense office located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The extension serves as a temporary measure to maintain environmental support services critical to the Army’s operations until new contracts are awarded.
