The period of performance will be for a period of 4 months. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested parties must submit technical capabilities, pricing, and other information that demonstrates their ability to meet ESAs needs. Detailed capabilities must be submitted to [email protected]. All questions must also be sent to this email address, no phone calls will be honored. This notice is not to be considered a request for quotations or proposals. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice, but offers will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the Government. If no affirmative written response is received by the closing date and time of this synopsis, a contract will be issued to Dr. Reaner without further notice.
