This is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation is available. All interested sources must respond in writing with clear and convincing evidence to support their ability to provide timely and effective services within seventeen (17) days of this publication. A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government. For possible subcontracting opportunities, interested parties may submit appropriate information to Mr. Roberto Montanez at roberto@butlerparachutes.com.

Accordingly, the Ombudsman does not participate in the preparation of solicitations, the evaluation of proposals or the source selection process and, therefore, for routine matters on individual solicitations, please contact the buyer at the telephone number listed herein. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern.
