We would like industry feedback on this document in terms of what improvements could be made so that it communicates a performance-based requirement and allows the Contractor to the freedom to meet requirements while remaining actively engaged with the customer as needs arise. Please include the following information in your response: -Name of your company and a point of contact (phone and email address) -CAGE Code (if you do not have a CAGE code and want to know how to obtain one, contact the POC for this announcement for instructions) -Please include a narrative that describes your customer base and the nature of the support your company typically provides to its customers -List any experience your company has working with Federal organizations This notice does not constitute a request for a formal proposal and is only provided as information to the market place.
