The solicitation will be conducted electronically via SAM.gov, with responses due by August 31, 2026, and no set-aside is planned. All proposals will be evaluated under a non-competitive authority, and foreign-owned firms are advised to consult the contracting officer prior to submission. The Government's obligation is contingent upon appropriated funding availability, and an ombudsman is available to address offeror concerns during proposal development.
