- COMBINED SYNOPSIS SOLICITATION NOTICE This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. 36C10E19Q0175 the Combined Synopsis Solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ).
