Period of Performance: The period of performance will be for two years. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 1:00 p.m.(PDT)on May 06, 2004.
