As a result of this evaluation, the USACE MEO selected Lockheed Martin as its subcontractor to develop the MEO Agency Tender. After selection of Lockheed Martin, an Agency Tender was developed with the USACE MEO at Lockheeds own expense. The USACE MEO now intends to award a sole source contract on the basis of RFP W912HZ-06-R-0001 under FAR 6.302-1. The work to be performed under this contract consists of fixed price services for IMIT Administration and Management, Automation Services and Systems Support, Communications Services and Systems Support, and Information Assurance Services and Support.
