Primary point of contact is Gabriel Mendez at gabriel.mendez@usmc.mil, with Erin Silverthorn available via phone and email for follow-up inquiries. The notice was posted on August 4, 2026, and the award process is aligned with federal acquisition regulations for simplified procedures and special notices.
